So glad sthg like this is finally happening, largely thx to @kristenthomasen.bsky.social. Been ~2.5 years now of layers of disheartenment & sustained moral injury (5 if count covid), and a public discussion focused specifically on Canadian complicity, from a tech /tech law angle, is long overdue.

Tuesday, March 10, 4pm. FREE.

"how can concerned observers broaden their resistance to Canada’s contributions to ICE in order to mitigate and prevent complicity in violence around the world?"

The panel will feature the brilliant: @jcyliew.bsky.social @jamesyap.bsky.social @jeff.doctor and Jason Toney @cjpme.org.

Tuesday Mar 10, from 4-5:30pm.

I had the pleasure of joining Matt Galloway on CBC’s The Current this morning to talk about *that* Amazon Ring Superbowl ad. It's heartening to see the perception of commercial surveillance networks shifting toward rejection.

Saying no to bad tech is always an option.

Tomorrow for any interested Ann Arbor folks.

It is really amazing to see something that you helped create and put out into the world, take on a life of its own. There are at least four independently organized upcoming micro-consultations for the #PCAI! Linking them below, if you're in the area, want to join, or as examples to follow:

I’d say US men’s hockey won fool’s gold but it’d be an insult to pyrite.

Growing up near Toronto, I am used to the bitter pain of my team losing.

Unfortunately, relatedly, I am very much not used to Auston Matthews winning.

Scotiabank’s 1832 Asset Management sells last shares in Israeli military supplier Elbit Bank faced criticism for investment, including high-profile protests at the Giller Prize

Incredible victory! After years of organizing across Canada, Scotia Bank has divested from Elbit Systems!

Elbit is Israel's largest weapons company, arming the occupation and genocide of Palestine.
