Canada's safe consumption sites have reversed 68,000+ overdoses. Still, many are being shuttered in a nationwide backlash to harm reduction. “The message is, ‘You don’t vote for me, so why do I care what happens to you?’” Inside Toronto's original SCS in the weeks before its

It seems pertinent to point out that Doug Ford's government cancelled curriculum re-writing sessions with residential school survivors in 2018 + shut down the office of the child advocate, who investigated deaths of kids in foster care, a disproportionate # of whom are Indigenous

It's no wonder CTV's coverage of Israel's violence in Gaza is so one-sided. Internal emails show journalists are forbidden from using the term "Palestine," with a senior editor making the charged claim that "Palestine...does not currently exist."

We analyzed every CTV National News broadcast since Oct 7. It’s the most popular news show in Canada—and it has a clear anti-Palestinian bias 🧵

CBC is well aware it uses sanitized language to describe Israel's killing of Gazans. They actually believe it's justified because Israel kills people "remotely" instead of face-to-face. We have an email from a CBC manager saying so: @TheBreachMedia

Hundreds of graves were found at another forced assimilation school for Indigenous children in Canada — weeks after remains of 215 children were found. 150,000 children were held in the mostly Catholic-run schools, thousands dying from abuse. The church has never apologized.

The corporations that control Canada's food market are screwing both producers and consumers—and one group of farmers has the proof. 🧵

Premier Doug Ford to First Nations: "There's going to a point where you can't just keep coming hat in hand all the time to the government. You gotta be able to take care of yourselves." Ford points to the gold mines and critical mines: "You're saying 'no, no, I don't want to

Families warned Doug Ford about the conditions at Orchard Villa, where 79 people have died with COVID, for weeks before the military’s report came out. At one point, they called his office every hour for three days and didn’t hear back #onpoli huffingtonpost.ca/entry/orchard-…

Jesse is leaving out an awful lot of details here. Not only was the “one guy” Robinson met with UBC’s president, she also suggested herself that she was directing universities on how to handle discourse on Gaza. The request to remove the statement was highly unusual. 1/2

This is very poor journalism. She met with one guy, and a week later an entirely different guy’s office asked a department to remove a statement. That’s it. That’s the entire substance of their allegation that she did it. Unless her being Jewish is to be considered evidence.

On one broadcast, CTV gave more airtime to a Canadian who experienced cancelled flights in Tel Aviv than to the only Palestinian person interviewed in Gaza.
