an international student movement is growing. from cornell to sciences po, students have realized that the same old leaders will not deliver for everyday people. so they're organizing, marching, and halting business as usual.
this is beautiful and must be sustained.
Students have been leading weeks-long protests across France, particularly in Paris, calling on the government to improve learning conditions, citing issues such as staff shortages and overcrowded classrooms.
Police have arrested more than 6,000 people, with reports of students being seriously injured, including a 15-year-old boy that had his hand blown off when a police stun grenade exploded during a protest in Lens.

Supporting draft legislation to bring Canada into alignment for its commitments under international treaties to prevent human rights violations, will get you demoted in this Canadian government. Says a lot about this current Canadian government.
Charlottetown MP Sean Casey says he was demoted because he supported an NDP arms export control bill. In an interview with CBC News, Casey said PMO told him yesterday that's why he was removed from his role as parliamentary secretary. cbc.ca/news/politics/casey-r…

What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.
So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.

Economist Jim Stanford on opening airports to private investors: "Whether the actual land is still publicly owned or not is almost a moot point. This is going to be Highway 407 of the skies."
Emma Jackson retweeted
Privatizing airports is a terrible deal for travellers, workers, and the public purse.
Around the world, it has led to higher travel costs, fewer jobs and worse working conditions.
Private equity moguls and fund managers love it! Once they’re in, they own a piece of a natural monopoly, and they print money for decades.
This is a mistake we do not need to make.
The alternative to privatizing our airports is to NOT DO IT.

Banning trade on goods from illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territory is long overdue. However Canada still has a free trade agreement with Israel, and continues to send weapons and arms parts to Israel while it commits genocide in Gaza. Canada must do better.
