Climate case led by youth heading to the Supreme Court Canada's highest court is set to decide whether it will hear arguments in a trailblazing climate change lawsuit that could clarify whether governments are constitutionally required to tackle planet-wa...

Thursday’s decision could set the stage before the Supreme Court of Canada in a case where seven young people have challenged Ontario’s weakened climate target.

Parliamentary rules show that the leader of the opposition must hold a seat in the House of Commons and that Stornaway can only be lived in by that leader. Start packing 📦 #cdnpoli

Welcome to the 19th century.

To the residents of Stornaway,

This Government subsidized housing is made available by the citizens of Canada for the Leader of The Official Opposition as a courtesy. The Parliment of Canada Act requires that leader to hold a seat in the House of Commons. Please vacate immediately.

Yours Truly, 🇨🇦

When Trump defies court orders and says that he can abduct, deport, and imprison an innocent man indefinitely without due process, he's saying that he can abduct, deport, and imprison anyone indefinitely without due process.

What do you think all of his executive orders are for?

Bye bye Skippy!!!!

In 4 years they'll all be in prison.

He knows quite a bit about nothing. He has not mastered anything.

FFS just impeach him.

The image features a solid deep blue background. At the top is a white emblem consisting of a circular outline containing a map of the world surrounded by olive branches, the United Nations logo. Below the logo, centered text in white font reads: Canada has many obligations to disabled people in Canada and around the world it is failing to fulfill. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Review on Canada is happening in Geneva now. DJNO and many groups have endorsed submissions to highlight these issues to the United Nations and challenge Canada’s record on disability. See djno.ca/international-work for some key submissions."

On the same blue background, a circular version of the Palestinian flag with the title in white next to it: Canadian International Violations Submission. Below, centered text in white font reads: "This submission illustrates how Canada's persistent shortcomings in this regard negatively impact people with disabilities abroad. Specifically, Canada’s failure to adequately regulate the arms exports that help enable Israel’s atrocities in Gaza contributes to serious violations of the rights of people with disabilities. … Partially discontinuing direct arms exports to Israel, while continuing to allow exports to Israel’s primary arms supplier free of any oversight or control, is inadequate to discharge Canada's obligations under the CRPD. As a group of UN experts, including various Special Rapporteurs, Independent Experts and UN Working Groups, emphasized in a statement of 20 June 2024, the obligation to cease military exports to Israel extends to “indirect transfers through intermediary countries that could ultimately be used by Israeli forces, particularly in the ongoing attacks on Gaza.”

On the same blue background, a circular version of the Palestinian flag with the title in white next to it: National Disability Org. Submission. Below, centered text in white font reads: Our Report provides a response to most articles of the CRPD within the context of the List of Issues for Canada, Canada’s Report, and the 2017 Concluding Observations on the initial report of Canada. Our Report highlights key concerns of disability communities. Through community discussions, the following five areas were identified as prevalent needs shared throughout this Report: Need to abolish harmful policies and laws that violate the CRPD, including: institutionalization, seclusion, segregation, restraints, forced treatment, and Track 2 MAiD for people with disabilities who are not dying; Need to increase individualized funding and availability of services and supports to ensure that people with disabilities can live with dignity and independence in communities of their choice; Need for all levels of government (federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal) to increase and coordinate their measures to implement CRPD rights; Need for more meaningful involvement and participation of diverse disability communities and organizations of persons with disabilities in the development of disability-related laws, policies, programs and services; and Need to collect and disaggregate data on a variety of disability rights issues, and make the data publicly available.

On the same blue background, Logo for National Housing and Homelessness Network followed by white text. ”Systemic gaps and ableist policies in housing create an array of vulnerabilities for individuals living with disabilities. Particularly, women and gender-diverse people with disabilities, are multiply marginalized when trying to access safe, affordable housing that meets their unique needs. Inadequate income and supports systems, gaps in policies, and inconsistencies across jurisdictions are creating egregious violations to the rights of people with disabilities, disproportionately impacting women and gender diverse people. Our submission highlights key areas of disparities and outlines recommendations.”

Friends, the UN is taking a look at Canada's record on disability rights internationally & nationally—from Canada's Arms Sales to Israel, seclusion in school, chasms in accessible housing, & MAiD targeting us all. Check out some of the submissions: djno.ca/international-work

Hey Elon everything Trump touches dies.

I have NEVER ever seen this:

March Break, folks are headin south....Not anymore!

Dude.
Right on Canada. Elbows up for sure!
#cdnpoli

Elon hopefully is headed for bankruptcy! Terrible businessman.

Druggie Fraud is only Team Canada for as long as it benefits him personally.

Not to mention all those non profits that bill Medicaid will be out of work,their employees out of work. This will start a domino effect for workers and there will be no safety nets.

And what battlefield power is there going to be to plug them in? Waste of money.

~THIS👇 How to nominate the leader of your choice for the Liberal party!

Remember Doug Ford just gave this man who just did a nazi salute $100M of Ontario’s money the day after Trump won, and has never mentioned it again. And because we have no #cdnmedia anymore, neither have they.
#onpoli #cdnpoli

Trump is going to start WWIII for corporate greed!

Doug Ford needs to go.

I WILL MAKE SURE NONE OF YOU CAN SAY I DIDN'T FUCKING WARN YOU THIS TIME 🔥✊️✨️

2. Second is a mother daughter in NE part of the city whose home is infested with black mold, affecting their health. Landlord won't budge. Anything they could both go to together; even very temp. Also very urgent.

Know anyone with a couple of rooms? PLEASE @ or DM.

Desperately looking for temp housing for three women (two together) in dangerous situations.

1. One is in a rooming house with unsafe people. She has had to call the police. Needs a room. ASAP. Tried to get her a guest suite in our building but they are booked.

Downtown #Toronto, urgent.

Becoming disabled is *the* most radicalizing thing that can happen to you because it happens atop whatever marginalizations you already have, amplifies them into a laser focus.

For cishet white men, it can be the first time they've *ever* experienced marginalization.

Happy Holidays! 🤣🤣🤣

Life under Trump 2020.
It was not great.
It was an absolute nightmare.

Trump is the grim reaper.

With Elon Musk, an unelected plutocrat, six weeks from becoming co-President of the United States, many people are just starting to research who he really is—that is, beyond the basics most already know.

Or, rather, think they know—as most of those basics are untrue.

This thread reveals the truth.
