Shame on @CalgaryOpera. ---------- "I have been informed that I have been removed from further performances of Tosca with the Calgary Opera following my display of the Palestinian flag during curtain call. I have no regret. This is the state of cultural institutions in Canada. I was informed that financial threats had been made against Calgary Opera. I hold no resentment. After the theatre, (political or otherwise) we all have to go home, and look at ourselves in the mirror. It was my honor to play the role of Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner." Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega And listen to the crowd cheer loudly as he unfurls the flag. Follow and support Gabriel here: instagram.com/reel/Delr6clN8… #FreePalestine
We are disturbed to learn that @CalgaryOpera has removed bass-baritone Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega from future performances of "Tosca" after he unveiled a Palestinian flag during the curtain call on opening night. Art is political, and artists should not be punished for expressing support for the Palestinian people as they face a genocide. This decision must be reversed.

In the middle of a trade war, Doug Ford is STILL importing electricity from the US. If he was serious about energy sovereignty, he'd invest in cheaper renewables like solar, wind and storage right here at home See my interview with Global below
NEW: The IESO, which manages the province's electricity grid, signed a contract with an American utility for power over the winter, despite the government's policies on shifting away from the US. Critics say it undermines the Premier's buy Ontario / Canada plan. #onpoli

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair continues to use the eye black beneath his eyes during NFL games to draw attention to Palestinian children, despite reportedly facing repeated fines from the league. Today, he wrote the name of Maryam Ghanem, a Palestinian girl whose harrowing footage went viral after she was seen trapped inside a burning building in which the remaining members of her family were killed. Maryam was eventually rescued, but suffered second- and third-degree burns. يواصل لاعب فريق هيوستن تكسنز لكرة القدم الأمريكية، عزيز الشعير، استخدام الطلاء الأسود أسفل عينيه خلال المباريات لتسليط الضوء على معاناة الأطفال الفلسطينيين، رغم تعرضه لغرامات متكررة من رابطة الدوري الأمريكي لكرة القدم. واليوم، كتب الشعير اسم الطفلة الفلسطينية مريم غانم، التي انتشرت مشاهدها حول العالم وهي عالقة داخل مبنى تشتعل فيه النيران، بعدما فقدت بقية أفراد عائلتها. وتم إنقاذ مريم لاحقاً، لكنها أصيبت بحروق من الدرجتين الثانية والثالثة.

Miko Peled: “The story of the Zionists is not that they came to a desert and made it bloom — it’s that they came to a blooming country and they stole it.” As Palestinians say in Arabic: اخذوها مفروشة (Akhaduha Mafroosha) — “They took it fully furnished.” Cities, farms, orchards, ports, banks, and infrastructure were already there. They didn’t create a garden from nothing; they took a country that was already in full bloom and claimed it as their own.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My brother Ali sent me these photos and told me that my siblings are very happy because, thanks to your generosity, they were able to buy warm clothes to keep them warm during the winter.
