Canada has created a norm that is beyond hostile to Palestinians. They have for decades been aiding and abetting the genocide of our people but now they're doing it out in the open for their own citizens to see and normalize in their minds. They want you to think this shit is normal. Fight them on it. Show us you give a shit about us.

Liberal / Tory same old story!

[allthecanadianpolitics]

New poll: Canadian voters want Jagmeet Singh as prime minister

Voters find him more favourable than Trudeau or O’Toole and think he would do a better job as prime minister than the other two.

When the 1,606 participants were asked to rate the federal party leaders as either favourable or unfavourable, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh rose to the top with 46% seeing him either as favourable or very favourable. Justin Trudeau, on the other hand—leader of the Liberal party and current prime minister—got only 37%. Conservative Party leader, Erin O’Toole was even lower, at 28%.

Speaking of low, Singh had the lowest unfavourable rating: 44% rated him as either unfavourable or very unfavourable. Compare that to Trudeau and O’Toole, each of whom received 59%.

The only demographic where Singh did worse than any other leaders was among men 55 years old and older. He tied for second place with Trudeau, at 29%, behind O’Toole, who had the old men vote secured at 45%. Singh got first place in all other age and gender combinations, and women across all age groups viewed him more favourable than the other two party leaders.

When broken down by party allegiance, Singh once again outperforms the other two, by a landslide. Among NDP voters, 92% view Singh positively. Only 78% of Liberal voters see Trudeau in a positive light. And it’s slightly lower for O’Toole, at 75% of CPC voters.

some very important info re: paid accounts~

I am not a lawyer, but I can decently interpret legalese and, being as I also suffer from tl;dr syndrome and assume others may as well, I took one for the team and went through the updated TOS for the post+ accounts and highlighted (what I understand to be) the most pertinent information, which ultimately comes down to this:

You cannot monetize copyrighted works (aka charge and earn money from fanfic, fanworks, etc) and if you do decide to put your fanworks behind a paywall via Tumblr, when you are inevitably sued, Tumblr will not protect you and will not defend you and you alone, personally, will be responsible for whatever monetary damages said lawsuit results in.

If anyone is a lawyer and knows I've gotten any of this wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me/this post.

Screenshots taken from Tumblr's TOS (updated 7-21-21), Stripe's Account Agreement, and the post+ FAQs.

1. Your paid account will not be hosted by tumblr; it is routed through a 3rd party.

2. By signing up for a paid account, you're entering into an agreement with Stripe, so in addition to Tumblr's TOS, you are also bound to Stripe's TOS.

3. Stripe, like Tumblr, will not defend you or protect you against any lawsuits.

4. Furthermore, you may end up owing Stripe money (indemnify = compensate)

5. Tumblr's TOS specifically states that you can't put any content on your post+ account that violates any laws, including laws that protect intellectual property rights of others. This is super important, because Tumblr's post+ FAQ also states that you can post anything that you would regularly post on tumblr, which I'm sure many will take to mean that gifsets, fanworks, etc are fair game, since all of that stuff can be posted on tumblr now. However, the difference is, you're not making money from the fanworks you're posting or reblogging now. Once money enters the equation, the game changes.

Tumblr is making it seem like any and all content goes for post+ accounts, knowing 90% of this site is fanworks. This is not true and you'll be opening yourself up for lawsuits if you charge for fanworks.

6. Tumblr further disclaims any and all liability in any legal issues.

tl;dr: Please do not make a post+ account, bc you will be opening yourself to lawsuits and if that happens, Tumblr's response will be not our problem, you agreed to all the terms which said you couldn't do that, sorry not sorry. Please protect yourself.

Iqaluit mayor wants city's churches to be taxed

Money could be put towards affordable housing, suggests Kenny Bell

Iqaluit Mayor Kenny Bell wants to start taxing churches in Nunavut’s capital, as the country mourns the discovery of unmarked graves at former residential schools.

Bell announced the idea in a post to Twitter after about 751 unmarked graves were discovered near the site of a former residential school in Saskatchewan earlier this week.

“My heart breaks with them … I wanted to make sure that we showed solidarity with Inuit, Indigenous and Métis people across our country that are suffering from hearing this news,” Bell said.

“We cannot allow the churches … who refuse to apologize and acknowledge their involvement in all of these deaths … to have free reign in our country anymore.”

Imagine being this reporter and seriously thinking "it's a lot of money" is a valid reason for Indigenous communities to not have clean water in a country as wealthy as Canada.

➡️Our history in Canada is horrifying, & until we acknowledge that & recognize the truth, we will continue upholding systems built on a foundation of racism, violence & harm without question.

215 Indigenous children were found buried at a Kamloops residential school site, some as young as THREE years old.

That residential school only closed in 1978. The last residential school closed in 1996. This isn't some distant history that we are talking about.

And Indigenous people continue to be oppressed in this country, the effects are very much felt in present day.

We should be collectively grieving this atrocity as a country.

Pope voices 'pain' over Canadian deaths, doesn't apologize

Francis' comments spoke of healing but not of apology.

Pope Francis on Sunday expressed his pain over the discovery in Canada of the remains of 215 Indigenous students of church-run residential schools and pressed religious and political authorities to shed light on “this sad affair.” But he didn’t offer the apology sought by the Canadian prime minister.

Francis, in remarks to faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square, also called on the authorities to foster healing but made no reference to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s insistence, two days earlier, that the Vatican apologize and take responsibility.

From the 19th century until the 1970s, more than 150,000 Indigenous children were forced to attend state-funded Christian schools, the majority of them run by Roman Catholic missionary congregations, in a campaign to assimilate them into Canadian society.
