Liberals Fear Closing Arms Export Loophole Would Anger U.S. A leaked briefing document gives the full picture behind the government’s talking points.

The Liberal government just voted down Bill C-233, which would have regulated arms exports to the United States, including those that are resold to Israel.

They opposed the bill because they are afraid of upsetting their masters in Washington.

Breaking: Liberal govt today voted down No More Loopholes Act, legislation that would have closed major loophole that allows Canadian military exports to reach Israel through US.

This loophole has connected Canada to ICE operations, Israeli genocide, and US attack on Venezuela.

Arms Embargo Now!

This makes no sense. This is the wastewater dashboard for #Kamloops where I live. Covid is the highest it has been all year and Influenza is also rising again.

Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls in its genocidal war on Gaza.

On International Women's Day, we look at the number of women and girls Israel killed in Gaza in 2025.

The idea that imperfect victims aren’t worth defending is much bigger than me, and is something I had to speak out about.

What kind of world does it create when only some of us are deemed worthy of institutional support and safety?

As a lil update, I'm giving myself the day off tomorrow because of all this.

I need some rest after being on the phone with police all day today and dealing with this bullshit until way too late last night.

So, I'm really sorry, but no podcast this week :(

I hope you guys don't mind ❤️

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Israel denies cancer treatment for Palestinian child over Gaza address Judge claims the petition to get the five-year-old boy medical treatment in Israel is an attack on the establishment

Israel has denied a 5-year-old Palestinian boy from receiving cancer treatment because his address is listed to be in Gaza.

“The meaning of the ruling is to provide support for an illegal policy that, in effect, sentences sick children to death.”

Winter Olympic athletes are rightfully taking COVID-19 precautions - The Sick Times Despite a lack of COVID-19 precautions implemented by the 2026 Winter Olympics organizers in Italy, some athletes, teams, and their loved ones are protecting themselves from airborne pathogens by mask...

The risks of SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne pathogens can be severe, but the media continues to stigmatize Olympians taking precautions as "worried" and "extreme". We know #LongCOVID can affect anyone, even elite athletes.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Israel should be expelled from the UN.

This week, Israeli forces stormed and destroyed the UNRWA headquarters in East Jerusalem after forcing UN staff out at gunpoint.

This is a sustained attack on the primary international agency keeping Palestinian refugees alive.

Canadian-built machines of war “As we move from fighting the war to fighting the peace, I think we really have to see this as an opportunity for an economic renaissance" - Chrystia Freeland

Canadian-built Roshel armored vehicles are being used by ICE right now in Minneapolis, including in today's operation where ICE murdered someone else.

I wrote about this company in December. And we know this thanks to the work of World Beyond War Canada.

stakes are extremely high, literally life or death.

We do NOT need ICE or CBP to have more training or oversight

We do need all border, policing and military angencies to be defunded; end to fed & state partnerships (like sec 287g agreements); end to all detentions & deporations. Abolish borders.
