Lift vaccine patents. Stop protecting Big Pharma's profits.

Instead of protecting big pharmaceutical companies’ profits, Justin Trudeau should be protecting human lives.

For those in Edmonton, Black Lives Matter YEG has put together an email campaign to call for redirecting funding from the police to other public support services. 32% of police calls involve no crime, and should not be handled by the police. Instead people should be directed to housing programs, mental health support programs and other appropriate social services.

https://blmyeg.ca/call-to-action is where you can go to send an email.

Shé:kon, hello. I ask that white people do not scroll past this, and that you please read it and internalize it, especially white Americans.

I've been seeing an influx of white people asking/joking about moving to Canada after the events of today (Jan.6 2021) and I want to say something about it.

Many of you talk as if Canada is any better than the U.S when it comes to things like the riots and storming of Capitol hill today. We are not.

I need you to consider how your whiteness makes you view the country north of you, because it vastly impacts it. You likely consider Canada better because we don't have (or at least you don't hear of) major police violence, or shootings, or bomb threats. Now, I don't blame you for not knowing this, but we do. Perhaps not as often, but they do happen, and they are always racially motivated.

You may consider this country to be safer, but to the many black, indigenous, and other people of colour who live up here, it's not. If anything, I would almost argue it's more deadly because we don't get the coverage on racist attacks, murders, and all of that. It gets swept under the rug so much easier up here.

Specifially talking about today's events, we've had gatherings of trump supporters at various locations across the country. I didn't know about this until very recently, even though they've seemingly been going on all day. The founder of the Proud Boys was Canadian. Our Conservative party hasn't said anything about the events of today, even though many of them have been buddy-buddy with Trump in the past.

Canada is not safer. It is just quieter. Myself and many other Canadians of colour are absolutely terrified right now, because we already can see what to expect coming up; spikes in racist violence will happen across the country, they will be talked about for 5 minutes, they will be brushed away.

Be aware that while you may feel unsafe right now, the joking (or even serious) desire to move to Canada is an ignorant one. Because while you may be feeling unsafe, you still have a massive shield. Even if you're trans, or queer, or disabled, or neurodivergent, or a woman... you are still white. You are still not the target of these people. You are not their main target, and you cannot act as if you are. The main target of these nationalistic terrorists are people of colour, particularly black people. You do not get to act as if you're at a major risk here. The only exception to this are white jewish people, as antisemitism is a major card these people play at.

So, please, look me in the eye and tell me how much safer you'd feel in Canada, just because our problems don't make news like this. The only reason you would feel safer up here is because you would once again have the shield of ignorance. Do not desire to put the blinders on again, not when black and indigenous people are getting the RCMP called on them, arresting them for peaceful protesting against pipelines that would ruin sacred land. Not when I remember at least 3 mosque attacks in the last 2 years. Not when I remember the black people who we have lost to police violence this year just in Canada. Not when I personally have seen mmiw posters for people I've recognized in communities I live in. Not when I personally have been facing quiet racism since 8 years old that has had nothing done to rectify the incidents.

White people, use your shield to protect BIPOC. Do not play victim here. You are not their targets.

Canada Petition: Designate the Proud Boys as a terrorist organization

It’s time for the Canadian government to act and designate the organization a Terrorist Entity, ensuring they are no longer allowed to operate and promote their violent ideology.

The Proud Boys, a violent far-right group founded in Canada, just helped storm the U.S. Capitol.[1]

Proud Boys members engage in violent attacks and show up armed with deadly weapons looking for trouble. They openly promote and engage in political violence.[2] Yet this group continues to exist in Canada and recruit members.

After the events in the U.S. Capitol, it is clear this organization is nothing more than a violent terrorist organization.

It’s time for the Canadian government to act and designate the organization a Terrorist Entity, ensuring they are no longer allowed to operate and promote their violent ideology.

Sign the petition calling on your MP and the government to designate the Proud Boys as a terrorist organization.

Sign the petition!

Tagging: @politicsofcanada

[abpoli]

It automatically emails your MP, the prime minister, and minister of public safety

Email text reads: Dear [recipient name will go here],

The recent events in the United States are deeply disturbing and a clear demonstration of the very real threat of far-right extremism. Radical and violent far-right groups are growing in Canada and this worries me greatly.

One such group – the Proud Boys – are among the worst. They agitate for, promote, and engage in political violence, and they were founded by a Canadian.

That is why I am calling on your government to immediately designate the Proud Boys as a terrorist organization and ensure they no longer are free to promote their violent far-right agenda in Canada.

We have seen what happens when we do not treat far-right extremists as the threat that they are. Let’s not wait to see if it can happen here as well.

Please DM me beforehand so we are on the same page with the fandom, and anything you want in your commission.

***If you want me to write about science, I’m cool with that too! I will not do your homework for you, but if you want a science concept explained to you at a level you can understand, I’m very good at that!

You know why.

[daredeviil]

ICE made a decision to order all international students whose universities are online to leave the country or risk facing immigration consequences and getting deported which essentially means that students will have to decide between leaving the US or risk their health. many countries don’t even have their borders open and some people may not even have places to go so please sign this petition which requests that international students get the option to finish their degrees and remain in the USA

[sammyblep]

this is an official whitehouse.gov petition - americans, PLEASE sign this and don't let our country's obsession with deportation ruin even more lives

China is not only breaking the law by violating the autonomy of Hong Kong, but they are also claiming jurisdiction over the entire world. China can prosecute you for violating this law no matter where you are. And depending on where you live, China might be able to arrest you on foreign land. If it is safe for you to do so, please get the word out about this, it is a blatant overreach of power and violation of basic human rights

[hurglesmurgle]

The following countries have extradition treaties with China- Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Algeria, Tunisa, Ethiopia, Angola, Namibia, South Africa, Lesotho, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Ukraine, Lithuania, Bosnia and Hertzogovina, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Azerbaijan, United Arab Emerites, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakstan, Kyrgistan, Tajikistan, Mongolia, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia.

If you are found in violation of the hong kong national security law, you could be extradited and jailed in china if you live in one of the above countries.

The law forbids "acts of secession, subversion of state power, terrorist activities, and collusion with foreign or external forces to endanger national security." These are defined very broadly, in order to apply it to as many people as possible. If it is safe for you to do so (ie, you dont live in china, hong kong, or any country with a chinese extradition treaty) please speak out about this bill
