Do the leaders in the EU also have stock in all the big tech companies like Carney does?

I have no more hope anymore, even if they leaked, it wouldn't change anything. People would deny them, it'd be "fake news". Like, those of us that know he's on there, already know he is, we don't need more confirmation.

Their base hasn't done anything to make me think they're *not* that stupid.

If heaven is really what they say it is, then absolutely you can suck a bag of dicks. I bet JC himself would join you.

I understand your point, but colonization never stopped. We've been watching it in North American countries through reserves/reservations, residential schools, the continuing child welfare system. Our entire political systems are set up to uphold the ongoing colonization. Israel is just being a lot more obvious about it.

Aw, even though Carney tried so hard to pass bill c-2 for daddy Trump? I wonder what their new excuse for the bullshit "border" bill will be.

I don't know about the mechanics, but a lot of activism is more aimed at making a point rather than causing extensive damage. They made their point here and made headlines, which sounds pretty effective as far as activism goes.

At this point and with how much support Israel has received from the international community, no government is willing to admit how complicit they've been in this genocide, even if it is as clear as your comment/the medic incident makes it, so they're just going to keep pretending.

I don't understand why this comment is so low. As an immigrant myself who migrated when I was very young, the answer of internalized racism is very obvious to me. It took me almost 25 years to fully open my eyes to the racist beliefs I had internalized growing up, and even being aware of it now, it takes an awful lot of self-work to unlearn certain things.

There's a video around of a drone covering the length of the group, it took it like a minute of flying straight through to cover (what that video said) was around 150,000 people. Wonderful to see.

They're actually trying to make it even harder for migrants and refugees with the introduction of Bill C-2, while pandering to the US.

>Anandasangaree said Tuesday that Bill C-2 was drafted to contain "elements that will strengthen the relationship" between Canada and the U.S.

>"There are a number of items in the bill that have been irritants for the U.S. so we are addressing some of those issues," he said. "But it's not exclusively about the United States."

CBC

It's a bill to not only make seeking refugee status more difficult, but also remove privacy protections for all canadians.

>During a technical briefing for reporters, a senior government official said that the changes were meant to improve police and intelligence agencies’ ability to apply for warrants to collect digital evidence following a series of court rulings that significantly hampered it.

Article content

>It would also increase the Canada Border Services Agency’s (CBSA) ability to search containers exiting the country by obligating transporters and warehouse operators to provide site access to border agents for export inspections.

National post (I know...)

There's lots of migrants rights groups speaking out against the bill: e.g. Migrants Rights Network

Optimistic of them to assume that Israel won't continue with other forms of genocide before March 2026. Their plan is to wipe out the population much sooner than that. Those of us outside of the US need to keep putting pressure on our politicians.

4 Canadians too. Our PM still won't call it genocide but don't worry because he said this is among many "unacceptable" things happening over there...

Oh I had no idea about the official genocide recognition that's actually very good, thank you.

That's interesting. When I was growing up I was told it had to meet all 5, and the reason for Canada's colonialism not being considered genocide is that it didn't meet all 5.

Of course we all know what Canada did to indigenous folks was actually a genocide but the government would still tell you otherwise. Either way they meet at least 4 of these. Whether you want to say it was deliberate or not I guess is up for debate but...

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do but a big difference here is that up until VERY recently, the US did not have an official language, so for them to say "English only" would be a bit more offensive than for Japan (whose official language is Japanese) to say "japanese only".

Additionally, the US is on colonized land, so English wouldn't be the native language of the land. Japan on the other hand has existed for close to 40,000 years and was not colonized in the same way (Not saying that the Japanese historically haven't been colonizers, but the island of Japan is generally not). I genuinely wouldn't even be mad about it if someone in Manitoba made a rule that was like "Ojibwe only".

But also to your point, yeah the US did recently pick an official language AND launch an "English only" campaign for a whole profession and it is extremely fucked up.

I am from the Gulf coast and have always said, when describing where I'm from "the Gulf coast", but since all this bullshit I've been making it a point to say I'm from "the Gulf of Mexico", cause fuck that guy. But also it's fucking dumb, it's all just sea, who gives a shit. Next thing you know he'll be saying the "pacific of America"

He doesn't have any secrets, he's literally telling everyone exactly what he intends to do. People haven't been listening.
