Today more than ever, the question of the constitutionality of anti-terrorism legislation should be reassessed. A law used only against Muslim Canadian is wrong and should be repealed

As the political and policing post-mortem unfolds into the response to the Ottawa occupation, there are some key questions that many - particularly racialized communities - will be looking to have answered. Here are some that come to mind: 🧵

Mainstream media has shown a strong pro-Israeli bias in their reporting on #Gazagenocide . When journalists like @ShreeParadkar challenge this bias, they are vilified & attacked as "anti-semite", "publicist for Hamas" or "Hamas apologists. @caj should speak up for @ShreeParadkar .

With all due respect to Rosalie Abella we cannot leave it to history to judge. When compelling evidence points to a grave risk of genocide or other international crimes is precisely the time to turn to the courts. History is haunted by failures to do so.
