NEW: Public Safety Canada continues to list Israel's minister of r*pe and torture as a “key international contact.” Ben-Gvir was added to the ministry's “Reference Book” when he was well known as a convicted racist and supporter of far-right terrorism.

Incredible. ‘Yes, you almost flipped a federal riding to the NDP for the first time and nearly doubled our party membership, but where are your donations???’

One of the issues some long time BC NDP members have is that Anjali Appadurai has never donated to the party. She told me last week she decided to donate her money to specific causes she is passionate about and not directly to the party. #bcpoli

A few people are understandably skeptical about if this is true or not. But even if this is just a planted 'leak,' then the ministry is evidently scared enough of legal threats and public pressure that they felt the need to put this out in public. The pressure is working.

Jim Pattison is worth nearly $15 billion, and has a track record of anti-worker policies and views. He has more control over the lives of his employees than most politicians. But media outlets insist on fawning over him in embarrassing puff pieces.

The SS Wolfsangel symbol not only features in the headline image - other photos in the story show soldiers holding matching flags. AP are well aware of the Nazi associations of this symbol - they're just not even pretending to give a shit anymore.

I'm increasingly convinced that Joly and Trudeau's talking points on this are incoherent and contradictory because besides wanting to deliberately sow confusion, they don't actually understand the speaking notes they've been given on the topic.

Joly says Canada hasn't "approved any permits for non-lethal merchandise" to Israel since Oct. 7. I believe she misspoke, as the Canadian government's line is that they've only approved non-lethal aid, which is a meaningless category.

BREAKING: The Biden administration declared Saudi Arabia's crown prince should be shielded from lawsuits for his role in the killing of a U.S.-based journalist. That's a big contrast with President Joe Biden's campaign trail denunciations of the prince.
