Reading through this whole list, I think this war is going to continue a while yet
Russia must unconditionally return all deported and illegally displaced Ukrainian children.
Echoes of the POW MIA movement associated with postwar Vietnam
this is a really good editorial from a palestinian-canadian
As a Palestinian Canadian, Gaza feels like the best test I can use to gauge a politician’s actual commitment to human rights. The core principle behind human rights is that they are universal (apply to everyone) and inalienable (cannot be taken away). Over the past 18 months, I have watched Israel violate just about every human right that I learned about in school, while so many Canadian politicians stayed silent. If a politician isn’t willing to fight for the human rights of Palestinians, how can we trust they’ll defend Canadian rights? You might think our existing laws safeguard your rights against those who would take them away, but I’m sure many Americans thought the same thing about due process, too. Things can change fast.
Supporting politicians who defend Palestinian human rights doesn’t mean I don’t still care deeply about domestic issues. In fact, I would argue a politician’s stance on Gaza says volumes about their commitment to a range of domestic issues, and not just Canada’s responsibility to uphold international law.
the star is generally on the good end of lib media in Canada but seeing them publish something this strident is a surprise
oh as a general canada poli post, canada's federal election is 4 days from now. carney and the LPC have very good odds to form a majority government. carney strikes me as similar to starmer for western libs, a technocrat banker that's likely to govern as a right wing neoliberal rather than a white nationalist timbit trump like poilievre
it's interesting to see the mood shift, but unless labour collapses internally at the level of MPs (not the electorate/constituents) then they'll still be able to cruise along as a majority for another ~3 years. it would take a nonconfidence vote to force an election sooner, and numbers like these really disincentivize labour MPs from breaking against their current majority.
If only there was a word to describe this.

Not really what you're after, but the movie The Rock with Cage and Connery is from 1996 and it is extremely pre-911, just no possible way it could be made afterwards. It was a big budget blockbuster about US marines going rogue and aiming chemical weapons at San Francisco. If it had been made 10 years earlier, it would have been ex-soviet mercenaries, if it had been made 10 years later then it would have been Arab terrorists, and if it was made today, the marines would have been aiming chemical weapons at Portland and they would be the good guys. Instead however, it was made in that short few years when America had no "real" enemies and so the only bad guys powerful enough to do bad guy things to America was the US military itself.
as far as goals, it seems to me that this kind of reactionary political project uses transphobia in the same way it uses homophobia and misogyny as ideological tools to enforce 'normalcy' (e.g. patriarchal nuclear family). then when people don't or can't adhere to these norms, that is the justification to cut them out of the social safety net, which in turn supports gutting the state.
That was 2024, not 2023
through this campaign jagmeet started saying correct things about gaza, explicitly using the word genocide. he hasn't been correct on this for long but he's literally the only canadian party leader who has been. elizabeth may of the GPC continued just blaming netanyahu. to be clear, I don't give jagmeet a lot of credit here, but I note the change of rhetoric nevertheless.
as far as their power in a minority government, I think they're really going to be pressed to maintain party discipline to force the libs to do anything specific. 7 seats, collapsed federal vote, no leader and no official party status will not make it easier for them to extract concessions from the LPC. it'll be curious to see who the LPC turns to to get anything done - the BQ, NDP and elizabeth May are all options and they only need 4 or 5 votes to pass measures with a majority
