BREAKING!

A judge has denied the ATA’s request for an injunction against Smith’s use of the notwithstanding clause.

What the article fails to mention is Ali Al-Salem Air Base is a major hub for the AMERICAN air force.
No Canadians personnel were injured and the Canadian camp itself wasn't being targeted so in this heightened atmosphere I can understand why it would be kept on the DL for now.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Edmonton police chief faces backlash for 'educational' meeting with Israeli police | CBC News Edmonton’s police chief is facing criticism for travelling to Israel in February to meet with state policing officials as part of a counterterrorism delegation.

Good lord we suck.

If you think this isn't about Palestine protests I have a timeshare to sell you.

Nothing new though. Israeli orgs train western police forces all over the world. The RCMP are extra tight with them.

DOGE canceled research grants because they mentioned LGBTQ.

The person making the call had no experience reviewing grants and admitted no research informed the decision.

Just because you look the other way doesn't make our country or us, any less culpable.
