Putting a single Missing Person Israeli hostage poster on a wall generates a Jewish neighbourhood field, a sphere extending 5 km in all directions from the point of origin.

Wab Kinew, the fearless Ojibwe NDP premier of Manitoba, has absolutely no issue greenlighting a silica sand mining operation on the east end of Lake Winnipeg, in Treaty 5 territory. The libs in my life Just Can't Believe that the NDP loves resource development as much as every other party, no matter the identity of the person leading that party. After all, how can we Save the Planet without solar panels? If we want to Save the Planet, we will have to sacrifice a few more chunks of it on the altar of Mammon. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/canadian-premium-sand-selkirk-hollow-water-silica-mine-1.7115471 quote:A silica sand mining project will move forward in a community east of Lake Winnipeg, led by a company that plans to create manufacturing jobs in the solar sector in the Interlake — but some opponents of the project say they're still not confident the work can be done safely. Camp Morningstar is a group of several First Nations on Treaty 5 territory who have established a Land Defense camp near the proposed silica mine site. They have been pointing out for years now that previous silica sand mines in the region have been absolutely destructive for the environment and communities around them. Silica mining pumps silica fines into the air which, when ingested chronically, can cause silicosis, a sort of pulmonary fibrosis. Apparently the license application for the proposed Premium Sand mine doesn't even require respiratory PPE for workers there, the people most likely to be at risk of silicosis. The iron sulphides separated from the desirable silica sand can, when dumped into the waterway (as they almost certainly will be), decrease the pH level of the water, thereby causing it to begin to leach toxic heavy metals out of the surrounding soil. Those heavy metals thereafter remain soluble in the water, and therefore ingestible by living things. The water can also change colour, becoming orange or red.

sitchensis posted:to be fair though, discourse around traffic and car dependency has ratcheted up a lot in the past two years, much of it actually common sense. I hesitate to say it, but it does feel like the tide is beginning to turn against our car oriented culture. Maybe. I'll agree that there's a lot more noise around pro-car development now. The various government at least feel like they have to defend these ideas instead of it just being an obvious thing to do.

They are both handing their own defeats to their opponents on a silver platter. They've looked at the pros and cons of genociding brown people or maintaining power and decided that genocide wins here.

DaysBefore posted:That's all this is right? They walked by a hospital and one guy climbed a streetlight or whatever? Lmao, wonder how many children the Israeli's were blowing up at the exact same time as this vile antisemitic act Yes, that's all that happened. Reposting the great article from the other thread as well as the most disingenuous politician take yet. So we can stop bickering, local news source The Grind wrote a detailed account from a journalist who attended the rally. It's very well done and highlights the importance of local media and you should toss them some money. https://www.thegrindmag.ca/what-happened-mount-sinai-hospital-palestine-rally-passed-by/ The Grind posted: During the Feb. 12 rally, the most visibly prominent flag waver from a height was an individual dressed up in a black Spiderman costume. I noticed that individual on several structures and buildings in the two-and-a-bit hours that I was at the rally. Looking at their Instagram stories, spiderman4palestine, and at other social media posts you could see at least eight structures this person was on. These included, in rough chronological order: 1. A raised platform at Yonge and Bloor at the start of the rally, maybe construction scaffolding, along with numerous other people 2. On top of a lamppost on Yonge St. at Charles St. 3. High on a lamppost on Yonge St. just south of Wellesley St. 4. Above the under-construction awning of Mount Sinai Hospital on University Ave, with the help of at least two other people who were on the awning 5. On top of a statue in the middle divider of University Ave., just south of Mount Sinai Hospital 6. On top of a building on Dundas St., one block east of University Ave. 7. On top of the Joey Eaton restaurant on Dundas St., just west of Yonge St., and then walking along on the overhang of the entrance to 1 Dundas St. W. 8. A traffic light post at Yonge and Dundas ... At the intersection of University Ave and Gerrard St., across from Mount Sinai Hospital, a number of participants moved into the left (northbound) lane to stop traffic moving that way. The protest had stopped traffic both ways previously on Yonge St. and on College St., as protests often do. Police moved in to stop protesters from blocking the intersection at Gerrard St., seemingly intent on allowing cars to turn right and leave University Ave. through there. There was a brief standoff and pause, and then the rally’s marshalls moved the crowd out of the intersection. This is around the time when the 21-second video was taken of the person in the Spiderman costume climbing up the hospital entrance. The sub-section of the crowd visible in that video is hardly moving forward, which is something people have pointed to as evidence that the hospital was targeted. However, there was no announcement made by organizers that the rally was stopping intentionally at Mount Sinai Hospital, and the crowd left the area within about 15 or 20 minutes of arriving there. This is about as long as the crowd stayed at other intersections. It was definitely a shorter stay than at the intersections where it had started and where it would end. The total duration of the rally was a bit over three and a half hours. ... There is a federal law, C-3, which deems it an offence for anyone who “intentionally obstructs or interferes with another person’s lawful access to a place at which health services are provided by a health professional.” As far as I saw while I was passing the hospital, the entranceway was clear and no one was stopped from entering or exiting the building. Other than vague mentions, I found no specific evidence that people were prevented from entering or exiting the building. Once the intersection of Gerrard and University began clearing, a few people walked south along University Ave. through the stopped or very slow-moving cars. Many drivers rolled down their windows to express support for the protesters’ cause. Others did not. I saw one incident, which may have been the one that went viral the next day. As I saw it from around 20 metres away, there was a brief argument between someone in a car and protesters who stood near the car. One person stood in front of the car with a Palestinian flag and others stood beside it. Within a minute or two, the crowd moved away from that car without further incident. I was not right there, and did not see everything and couldn’t hear what was said. ... Jews Say No To Genocide Coalition, which includes several groups of Toronto Jews who are opposed to what Israel is doing in Gaza, took to Instagram to respond to Trudeau’s tweet, writing: “This is anti-Palestinian racism. This is a distraction from genocide. Do not let our government and media stop us from having #AllEyesOnRafa.” In response to the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre thanking Trudeau for his statement on X, Independent Jewish Voices wrote in response: “Quickly, how was the hospital ‘targeted,’ and what actual damage to Jewish individuals and communities took place? From where we’re standing, this ‘vile display’ looks pretty kosher. Antisemitism isn’t just a rhetorical cudgel you can use against people you disagree with. It’s not a specter summoned by the Palestinian flag. To combat actual antisemitism in Canada, we have to be clear about its meaning and impact. Toronto’s protest was not antisemitic.” Meanwhile it continues to grow in rumour so you have the leader of the Ontario Liberal Party tweeting this unfounded terror https://x.com/BonnieCrombie/status/1757492668198690917?s=20 Also I'm glad Oliphant is standing by his statements but I guess I couldn't be a politician because I would have immediately resigned ages ago at genocide enabling.

Latest number I could find for subsidy to the ferry was $17,000,000 in 2022, which I guess tbf is because of the stupid contract the Liberals signed. I can only assume that's gone up lol. Also between tax breaks and direct subsidy pretty sure the hydrogen refinery up in Cape Breton is in the hundreds of millions Oh and that unfinished hotel they bought to convert into transitional beds for seniors includes like $18,000,000 in consultant fees. Like holy poo poo lmao

Dreylad posted:Ah I misread the article with the part about them blocking northbound traffic. "As the protest began heading south along University Ave., it was only taking up the southbound lane of traffic. Cars heading northbound were still moving, some very fast, and protesters were occasionally in some lanes of the northbound side. I remember worrying that somebody could get hit by an oncoming car. At the intersection of University Ave and Gerrard St., across from Mount Sinai Hospital, a number of participants moved into the left (northbound) lane to stop traffic moving that way. The protest had stopped traffic both ways previously on Yonge St. and on College St., as protests often do. Police moved in to stop protesters from blocking the intersection at Gerrard St., seemingly intent on allowing cars to turn right and leave University Ave. through there. There was a brief standoff and pause, and then the rally’s marshalls moved the crowd out of the intersection." so yeah, they were heading south which is a straight line from Queen's Park to the US Consulate on the southbound side, heading past Mount Sinai on the same side of the street. the (some of the) protestors moving over and trying to block the northbound routes were being stupid, University is loving gigantic wide and has a huge treed island in the middle (it's the kind of street where you stop on that island as a pedestrian because the walk signal only covers you for one half at a time). the cops were being reasonable because one half of University is plenty for a march and it's an actual safety concern for people getting lost out of sight on the other half of the street.
