The Canadian Association of Journalists and other professional associations (including unions) must do more to protect journalists from harassment and threats of violence. This needs to stop.
Truth: "This administrative limbo creates a two-tier system. And it is difficult to come up with any explanation for the double standards other than how it feels: racism. It has to be said, and it has to be addressed." @alexneve.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Excellent op-ed by @alexneve.bsky.social re: graduate students in Gaza waiting up to two years for study visas. "A delay of weeks is processing. A delay of months is a backlog. But a delay of a year, without explanation or end, is a de facto rejection." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

My latest for the Globe and Mail:
“Let us not mistake this moment for liberation. Iranians didn’t ask for this war – it came to them. What comes next cannot continue to be bestowed through bombs. Freedom doesn’t sound like a siren.”

@democracynow.org trips up trying to explain the shifting US justification for its attack on Iran while guest, Rami Khouri, tries keep a straight face.

In court, defense counsel touted the owner's new safety policies but in cross-examination, Jamie Cote, the owner of Cote & Sons, did not respond to a critical question about which safety protocols addressed interpreting engineers’ certificates -- a major contributing factor to the deadly incident.

How does it work next time the prime minister appeals to international law and the rules-based order?
First hour of CBC Radio’s “Just Asking” (re: US-Israel attacks on Iran) and not one question about international law 🤷

Mark Carney: "Every day we're reminded...that the rules based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must."
