This is what the Canadian government funds. This is what Canadian health care institutions endorse with their silence & censorship. They call it a humanitarian crisis but never a genocide. Oct 7 memorial at a Toronto hospital but 🤫 since then… What happened to medical ethics?
At least 104 Palestinians have been confirmed killed by Israeli forces while waiting for food aid during an early morning attack, says Gaza’s Health Ministry.

We can hope that is the case but it is objectively not based on data from patients, learners and health care workers alike. Social justice doesn’t replace medical expertise. Medical expertise should be in service of humanity hence the need to centre equity.

Israel bombed all universities as part of its genocide of Gaza
So this Palestinian, Tamer Abumousa, defended his master’s thesis in psychology in a displacement tent in Rafah which Israel bombs daily— a glimpse of the indomitable spirit of Palestinians, their love for education.

They are using snipers on civilians. Bombing specific infrastructure to further genocidal agenda.
This is not “indiscriminate b*mbing.” It is very discriminating, and criminal. I want us to stop describing wantonly evil tactical decisions as if they happen in a passion, in a daze. They are looking carefully, and making thousands of decisions to end Palestinians’ lives.

Literary establishment gives strong colonizer energy with colonized lackeys to fit EDI mandate. There is a legacy of Black and other oppressed writers centering their own traditions and aesthetics, turning away from the white gaze. Need more of that!
What the hell are we doing, CanLit, if an event celebrating political writing kicks a Black woman who lived through apartheid out for demanding we use our voice, that we speak out for injustice, for fellow writers who are dying for their work? Who are we?
