And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try."

The demonstration at Mount Sinai Hospital yesterday was reprehensible. Hospitals are places for treatment and care, not protests and intimidation.
I strongly condemn this display of antisemitism. In Toronto and across Canada, we stand with Jewish communities against this hate.
If you were truly horrified. We'd be breaking off Diplomatic Relations with Israel, as many countries have done.
You'd recognize a Palestinian state, as many other nations have done.
You'd enforce an arms embargo, which many other nations have done.
But you won't. We know.
Hate to break it to you, but you can't really fly an Indigenous flag and Canadian flag on Canada Day, and say your standing with Indigenous people. Like this is peak performance politics.
HAPPENING NOW!
Israel is dropping bombs on homes in a residential area in Saida, South Lebanon.
From Palestine to Lebanon to Syria, Israel repeatedly bombs civilian areas, and not a peep from the “international community”.
This country really does suck huh?
Like my feed the last 2 days has been, Canada joining the US to bomb Yemen, Canadian cities clearing encampments in temperatures cold enough to kill, and Alberta's energy grid failing.
We're not fine y'all.
This is such a good ad, like holy fuck this guy is gonna be PM.
This is a policy someone like myself would support. Know I won't vote conservative, but this is absolutely a winning message. The left needs to get it's shit together.
I thought you didn't wade into provincial politics?
Where the fuck was your voice when your party was kicking out Sarah Jama for standing in solidarity with Palestinians?
Images of the IDFs airstrike hitting a camp for displaced Palestinians in Rafah are horrifying.
Images so terrible I won’t share them.
The world is failing the people of Gaza.
Canada is failing the people of Gaza.
We must do everything we can to stop this.
#CeasefireNOW
What hateful messages? Gaza Lives? We don't accept your apology? From the River to the Sea?
What are you referring to Eby? It was posters and chalk, not broken windows...
Fucking disgusting comments from
@selinarobinson
but what should we expect. You agree with this shit
@Dave_Eby
?? Seriously? There's been no punishment yet so I assume you do.
And, BCNDP partisans, I know some of you follow me, your ok cosigning this? Seriously?
Man hasn't said a fucking word about Palestine.
I've heard people say this is because they're a provincial party. OK if that's the case what's with this?
Two years ago, the world watched in horror as Russia launched its unprovoked attack on Ukraine. Since then, Ukrainians have suffered unimaginable losses while demonstrating incredible strength and courage, up until this very day.
(1/3)
I've noticed alot of people losing their minds that the NDP motion recognizes Palestine as a state.
And I need to ask yall pissed about this, don't yall support a 2 state solution? Or are we admitting that was just BS coverage for Israeli apartheid now?
I've been thinking long and heard on this, and due to
@theJagmeetSingh
not being able to condemn
@jjhorgan
and the
@bcndp
treatment of the Wet'suwet'en. I can no longer donate to, volunteer for, or vote for the
@NDP
while Singh remains leader. I will focus my energy elsewhere.
Trudeau's solution to the housing crisis, isn't to build enough homes, lower prices, or expropriate ownership from landlords who own hundreds to thousands of units.
No, it's to give landlords more power to punish your general well being if you struggle to pay sky-high rents.
Young Canadians put a lot of their hard-earned money towards rent every month. We think that should count for a lot more – like towards your credit score.
Hey
@selinarobinson
is this what accountability looks like? Is this how someone who's sorry for what they said acts?
I don't think so. Blocking the guy who called you out isn't accountability. It's the opposite.
NDP MPs are now returning to posting to Twitter.
Did you notice that? They've basically been silent the last two days.
Now that Singhs statement is out, they're all posting again.
I bet a gag order came down from Central.
And now that Charlie has spoken out, the seal is broken. Every single NDP MP should be condemning Selinas statement.
If you truly believe in the statements your party has been putting out, I'd like to see a statement on this as well. Particularly from BC MPs.
"I call for the reassessment of Minister Robinson's position within the Cabinet to ensure that our leadership reflects a deep commitment to historical accuracy, empathy, and the pursuit of peace and justice for all peoples, including Palestinians and Israelis."
So I've been hiding some big personal news from Y'all for the last little while. But know that everyone who needs to know, knows, I can share it with all of you.
I'm gonna be a Dad in May, and I'm so pumped!!!
This isn't good enough. This is a pattern with you. It's actually a break from the pattern for you not to double down.
You don't get to keep saying this shit and go "oh sorry y'all"
Resign.
They told us communism was when you didn't have a house, but we can't afford shelter now
They told us communism was when you couldn't afford food, but we can't afford food right now.
They told us communism was when you didn't own any possessions, but do you have much now?
"No fun allowed" leftism needs to die out yesterday.
Your not bringing anyone over by shitting on them having some fun in whats mostly miserable lives.
You know it's "Liberal Pharmacare" because it's not actually a full program and only covers two types of medicine. That's what makes it a Liberal program, it's half assed.
If you want to be treated like the left in France. Then you have to act like the left does in France. You have to be willing to shut shit down and team up with communists.
And let's be honest Don, the NDP isn't interested in that...
This like loblaws flame war between the cons and Libs is really funny considering both parties are bought and paid for by their lobbyists.
Like dude, your party gave over $12 million to Loblaws for new fridges 4 years ago. And you did so without a Loblaws lobbyist in the PMO...
Hey Toronto, yall should remember this the next time you vote. Instead of handing every single seat in Toronto proper and the GTA to a party who doesn't care about you.
Imagine thinking a single $500 payment to renters is going to help fix the solution
How out of touch with the rental situation do you have to be to believe this
In other words, this is people power.
When you take to the streets, when you pressure and pressure, you win. At the end of the day, the people hold the power, and if they choose to exercise it, nothing can stand in their way.
“Truth and Reconciliation is a year-round commitment.” Today is a day to reaffirm and strengthen that commitment through reflection, listening, and learning.
I was honoured to take part in Indigenous Culture Day activities at The Flats in Neepawa yesterday. Today I’m joining
If you don't support aid through UNRWA. Then you don't support the delivery of aid. Full stop.
You can talk about supporting the idea of delivering aid through other organizations all you want. It doesn't matter when UNRWA is the only org with the capabilities to distribute aid
I think this is the first MPP I've seen come out and dispute what the ONDP has been putting out there in regards to Sarah Jama. Kudos to Jill, we need to see alot more of this from caucus.
1. Literally the very first people to speak up about this was leftist Twitter.
2. Fucking everyone should be outraged. They gave a standing ovation to a Nazi...
People discovering NHL players having garbage political takes is funny to me. As someone who grew up playing hockey, it's a very, "well off financially" sport, and it's super clique ish.
It's really not to be that unexpected. Like damn, Gretzky endorsed Harper of all people.
That isn't what happened, your just lying.
But what's new when it comes to the BCNDP and this issue.
This man still hasn't condemned the genocide in Gaza FYI. Nor has any of his caucus.
Me and Catherine would like to welcome the newest little comrade to the world.
Anthony was born at 2:05 this morning. I don't think I've ever felt so proud in my life
"I've spoken out in the house for Palestine... I've used the words apartheid, I've used any of the words MPP Jama has used and I've not been removed from caucus"
Joel, you get that this makes it worse right? You get how that looks?
Instead of investing in Canada Day this year, go donate to a worthwhile Indigenous cause. I'll link two, the Unis'tot'en Camp, and the Raven Trust Legal Fund, going to help Wet'suwet'en land defenders fight on the Yintah and in the courts.
It’s spring, in the middle of a heatwave, and people think the fires are a product of a mass arson campaign? Jesus H Christ people. We’re so fucked as a species.
Vaughn is right here. Eby didn't make the decision to remove Robinson because it was the right thing to do.
He did it because the public pressure mounting was actually causing problems for the party.
Public pressure works.
The fact that the NDP is losing not only private union members, but public as well to the Conservatives is fucking embarrassing for what's supposed to be the "labour party".
While it's nice to see solidarity from the NDP on this issue.
Maybe you shouldn't have opened the door to this kinda treatment of Jama by deciding to kick her out of caucus for opposing a genocide in the first place?
It's not the best statement of all time, but it's something.
Kinda feels a little bit like a taboo has been broken. I want to see more MPs speaking out.
@JustinTrudeau
Why did you refuse to implement the recommendations of the electoral reform commission? And don’t say there wasn’t consensus, consensus was achieved in the final report. You need to answer for why you couldn’t accept the consensus.
Ya, we get it Andrew, you're a Conservative who likes to ride his bike and recycles.
If your voting BC cons, you don't give a single fuck about the environment, no matter how many academic papers you post to twitter.
I hate to break it to you Chrystia. But if your a minority, Indigenous, poor, or just an average working class Canadian. This country has never worked properly. It's always been broken. It's always been a wealth extraction project.
Hell hath no fury like a bunch of white middle class suburbanites not understanding the failures of capitalism before their eyes, and picking some conspiracy theory to fill the void.
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Dental and Pharma? Your gonna claim credit for that? You've been promising pharmacare for 40 years. You got dragged kicking and screaming to these positions and policies.
Fucking spare me.
Why do Centrist NDPers exist? Like genuine question. Why wouldn't they just join the Liberal party. Like it makes sense for the western provinces but why is it this way in the east too?
Why do y'all need 2 parties? Is it just so the left doesn't consolidate?
