Folks (like myself) who are using the 'genocide' to describe what is happening in Gaza right now *aren't* just "throwing it around" or using it lightly. Using genocide in this context is *precisely* what Raphael Lemkin, the scholar who coined the term, sought to capture /1
SOMEBODY DELIVER THIS HERO THEIR FLOWERS
When asked about Israel’s incoming government, which may see war criminal Eisenkot replace Netanyahu as PM, @MarkJCarney suggests that this could be an “opportunity for a new start” but emphasizes that “what matters is the steps that are actually taken.” He says that his government “looks forward to engaging with the government of Israel.”
There should be no illusions about what the Israeli election represents. Eisenkot and his presumed coalition partners have already indicated that they are likely to maintain the status quo when it comes to the genocide in Gaza, illegal settlement expansion in the West Bank, and opposition to a Palestinian state. An election does not stop these actions from being war crimes, nor does it offer relief to Palestinians under Israel’s apartheid rule.
This is not a moment to lift the pressure. We will be following closely to make sure that Israel is held accountable for its war crimes, regardless of who leads the country.

really glad to see avi tying concerns about democracy to wealth inequality because you cannot claim to support democracy if you are in favour of widening wealth inequality

Canada’s 40 billionaires increased their wealth by $95 billion last year. At a time of unprecedented wealth inequality, it’s unacceptable that this budget contains no new measures to make the very richest pay their fair share.
That’s why we’ve called for a wealth tax on the very richest that could generate up to $40 billion per year.
this is what we've been saying
You're effectively following the corporate media model. You provide soft/positive coverage of AI and it has attracted the industry to do paid partnerships with you. Sure, it's disclosed, but it makes it much harder to count on the overarching veracity of your work.

In case Canadians forgot, we DO actually have a real progressive option (since our two largest parties are right wing).
The NDP came out today proposing a wealth tax that would apply to people worth more than $10 million to pay for public grocery options, housing and healthcare.

Israel is consistently the #1 or #2 foreign recipient of Canadian charity dollars, with ~$276M CAD sent in 2024. Relative to our size, that's at least on par with the US, and Canada's tax breaks are more generous.
