Concurrent, it seems, with his surprise UAE Ambassadorship, Carney Crony Angad Singh Dhillon has been named Permanent Representative of Canada to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), with residence in Abu Dhabi, per PC Number: 2026-0980 orders-in-council.canada.ca/…
Some things never change. Before taking up his post in early 1981, incoming Canadian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, former Trudeau advisor Jacques Roy, as a routine practice, toured the country kissing Desmarais and other Ruling Elite rings
It's wild how noted lawyer France Chretien Desmarais, daughter of former PM Jean Chrétien, spouse of André Desmarais (also attending UAE CP Dinner), Deputy Chairman of Power [Elite] Corporation of Canada, seems so lowly relegated on the List.
Low-key surprised that the G&M published the entire guest list. Let's just say each segment of the Canadian ruling class was well-represented. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

I am calling on Canada to oppose the candidacy of Lana Nusseibeh, the UAE's nominee for UN Secretary General. Human rights are not negotiable. Those complicit in atrocities are unfit to lead the UN.
See my letter.

Amazing. How I had never seen this before?
10 years ago, @FlavioBolsonaro ran for mayor of Rio de Janeiro. In the debate, he passed out & shit his pants (yes, really). One of the candidates was a doctor & tried to help. His dad, Jair, yelled "communist, get your hands off my son!" & "01, did you turn yellow? Do pushups!"

Canada's unions passed a resolution calling on workers to refuse to handle weapons and military equipment destined for Israel.
We stand with Palestinian workers in their fight for peace, justice, and respect for international law.

Wow!
Canadian journalist asks Moshe Feiglin, a former Likud Member of Knesset, if he is concerned about Israel's plummeting global standing.
Feiglin's response is chilling, as it reveals the fundamental supremacist view he and many in Israel hold.
He says that the real moral supreme court is in Israel, ie with the people of Israel.
The Bible says, he explains, that those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed. As a result, it's we - Israelis - who get to judge you, rather than you judging us.
And then he adds?
"Are you with the children of God or not?"

How fitting that the UAE Crown Prince was flanked by a top Liberal Cabinet Minister key to the Gulf file over the last decade, @FP_Champagne, along with Stephen Harper, who's only intensified his ties to the GCC ties since being PM

I had missed that earlier this year, Canadian John Pagano was appointed to the U.S.-Saudi Business Council Board of Directors (the co-Chair of which is long-time friend of Canada, Lubna S. Olayan) english.aawsat.com/business/…

Appointing this UAE diplomat as the next UN Secretary General would be a cruel insult to the people of Sudan, who are currently enduring a UAE-fueled genocide.

Reminder that Russell Brand was openly embraced by the entire right wing pundit class even after the accusations came out just by pretending to be a Christian
Russell Brand’s trial is devastating. Testimony describes him as a rabid animal, demanding sex every few hours from whoever happened to be around, and taking it regardless of consent
Brand’s defense is that women knew he was a degenerate maniac, so they should have expected it by being in a room with him (several allege he attacked them in public and tried to drag them into bathroom stalls)
This is separate from FIVE disturbing allegations in Channel 4 Dispatches. Brand has zero regard for women as human beings - I can’t even imagine how many victims there truly are
Blows my mind that so many people peddle his lunacy portraying him as a truth-telling martyr being smeared by the establishment - and buy his newfound religious hucksterism
Makes sense he’s leapt into the movement of sexual offenders and pedophiles, where he belongs (other than prison)
