"Mexican barrio"? Hadn't heard of it until asked. I’m for highlighting local businesses & cultures. But, the issue isn’t highlighting. It’s hiding homelessness through street sweeps so tourists feel more comfortable. Housing and supports, not displacement, are the solution.

Free the Palestine Action four being harshly sentenced with a "terrorism connection"! Opposing genocide is a foundation of humanity, not a terrorist cause.
🚨BREAKING -- A judge has ruled that four Palestine Action activists will be sentenced with a "terrorism connection". Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Fatema Rajwani, and Charlotte Head appeared in Woolwich Crown Court today after being convicted of criminal damage at an Elbit Systems factory in 2024. Judge Johnson ruled: "I am sure each of the defendant's offence involved serious damage to property, was designed to influence the UK government, to intimidate a section of the public, and was for the purpose of advancing a political or ideological cause". The section of the public referred to by Johnson was employees of and companies linked to Elbit Systems, which he said constitutes a "section of the public". Johnson added: "It follows I am bound by this legislation to find that the offence in each case had a terrorist connection and apply that as an aggravating factor in increasing the seriousness of the offence". This is the first time in British history that terrorism provisions have been used against direct action activists.

Alberta: "Have a drink at 6 a.m." Also Alberta: "We're closing the sites that reverse overdoses and keep people alive." You couldn't write a more backwards drug policy if you tried globalnews.ca/news/11902038/…

They were scared of Mamdani winning because now every city in every state across the whole country wants a Mamdani of their very own.

This is yet another reminder to keep all Zionists away from your children in Canada. They are violent and they support the bombing of babies in tents and cheer on the rapes of Palestinians by the IDF. They are monsters. Shun them. They are not moral people.
A Zionist woman named Sandra ATTACKED a 14 YEAR OLD activist in Montreal, Canada. A grown adult assaulting a CHILD, she definitely represents what Israel stands for.

I have watched hours upon hours of Israelis walking into ambushes hitting each other with grenades and shooting each other in the back during these abushes as their ground forces completely crumble its why they simply bomb entire areas from the air their entire army is made up of extras from the jersey shore

The cost of living is already out of control. Corporations don’t need another way to rip off Canadians at the checkout. The federal government needs to do the right thing and ban surveillance pricing before it drives up prices even more.
Jun 9
The Liberals have finally acknowledged the dangers of surveillance pricing, after the NDP raised the alarm about corporations using personal information to charge you more. But they still won't commit to banning it. The decision should be simple. If companies are mining your data to squeeze more money out of you, your government should use their power to protect you — not corporate profits.

This! This, This, This, This, This!
"There is something absurd about being told that footage of your destroyed neighborhood violates community standards, while the destruction itself continues uninterrupted. Something darkly funny about an app warning you that your post about a massacre is “too violent,” as if the violence begins with the image and not the act. The platform is offended—not by death, but by its documentation." -Taqwa Ahmed Alwawi

WOW. AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS. This is very HARD TO WATCH.

The FIFA World Cup starts today. ⚽️ Welcome to Vancouver, where we spend more energy trying to hide homelessness than ending it. Does anyone remember Expo 86 and the 2010 Olympics? Different event, same playbook. The problem isn't people experiencing homelessness. The problem is that after decades, we still haven't solved homelessness.

NEW from City Hall: In the GVRD, 100 people die every year from fatal car accidents. Today staff brought a report to bring a moderate handful of tweaks to reduce injuries and save lives in the city. ABC amended it to make the streets less safe.
