The only flights into Gaza are by way of the Israeli Air Force. No other carriers or airlines seem to want to fly into the heart of the most brutal genocide of the 21st Century.

You know, considering Israel just tried to shoot four Canadian diplomats, it's actually absurd for Liberal MPs like Vince Gasparro and Leslie Church to march in a parade supporting Israel. Personally I think Canadian MPs should stand against shooting Canadian diplomats.

If you live in Canada, you probably give Loblaw your money—whether you like it or not. The grocery behemoth’s chains lurk around every corner, forming a control of the market that comes at a cost for consumers, writes David Moscrop. thewalrus.ca/loblaw-has-bec…

The current thought leadership of Canadian conservatives needs to abandon anti-unionism. Unions are what build the middle-class. Undermining workers' democratic rights only serves corporate interests.

For those interested, here is my question to the Leader of the Government in the Senate today regarding the lack of representation of the Algonquin people during King Charles III Speech From The Throne yesterday. The King did make an historic land acknowledgment that we were on

Hi there Ben Mulroney, professor of international law here 👋🏻 Israeli settlements in the West Bank are a war crime (Rome Statute art 8(2)(b)(viii)). Are you saying that facilitating war crimes should not be protested?

There's something surreal about watching this Conservative MP speak in the House about how "words matter" knowing the son he raised (Keean Bexte) called me a filthy whore last week lmao

As Chantal Hebert had said Poilievre might not be entirely safe… “One reason frequently cited by those around him was Poilievre himself. ‘He lost because he’s a dick,’ one of his advisers told the Star, a sentiment cited by other staffers and insiders.” thestar.com/politics/polit…

The head of the Chiefs of Ontario says the Ford government is headed on a collision course with First Nations if it continues forward with legislation aimed at fast tracking development in the province. That's on the season finale of Nation to Nation. aptnnews.ca/?p=262972

Ben, can you remind me of which Canadian Mosques are holding fundraisers for the Yemeni or Syrian army, and of those that are, do you believe it would be Islamophobic to protest those events or would you similarly condemn anyone who took offence?
