Make no mistake #Canada's #Budget2023 is a war budget. No other federal program received more 💰 than @NationalDefence. $55 billion for @NATO & @NORADCommand programs & more weapons ⬇️ China, Russia & Iran called threats. 1/3 🧵

Canada's budget also has special feature on new fighter jets ⬇️ $19 billion for #F35s + $7B for new runways. @JustinTrudeau invests more in militarizing the Arctic than protecting it. #GroundTheF35

Govt prioritizes Ukraine over climate. #Budget2023 has 65 references to #Ukraine, only 49 mentions of #climate though we're in a #ClimateEmergency. Lots of $ for military too little for climate. Read: bit.ly/3zfklbz #Demilitarize

1/10 PM @JustinTrudeau & #NATO @jensstoltenberg just visited #Canada’s biggest fighter jet base, CFB Cold Lake, in #Alberta. Canadians should know that the land for this @RCAF_ARC base & air weapons range was stolen from First Nations 70 years ago. bit.ly/3CxYLCb 🧵⬇️
2/From 1952-1960 Liberal govt gave minimal compensation to Dene & Cree peoples for taking land then stopped all payments. Loss of land had devastating consequences: poverty, despair & trauma. They lost traditional hunting grounds & sacred sites that were under Treaties 6, 8 & 10.
3/For 7 decades, all year long, Canada’s #fighterjets conduct loud, low-level flights over reserves & they bomb, strafe and torpedo #ColdLake Air Weapons Range, it's boreal #forest habitat for endangered #caribou. Land contaminated w/ munitions & toxins from military. @IENearth
In Palestine, first thing we do under fire is identify the type of weapons israeli cops/soldiers are holding. This defines your strategy for resisting + trying to be safe. Here’s a thread on identifying weaponry for those out there fighting across Turtle Island♥️
PEPPER SPRAY
The most common is handheld from bottles that are handheld to fire extinguisher sized. The spray is usually white or orange.
Attaching images of police using pepperspray in Memphis, Minneapolis & Boston. Also Defense Technology's line of peppersprays.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEPPER SPRAY
- Pepperball pellets shot from a gun. Attached photo shows it used in Denver (the gun usually has a compartment above)
- Backpacks with a hose that sprays pepperspray
- Pepper fog generators (looks like a leaf blower)

The 72nd anniversary of the #Nakba coincides with a spike in police murders of Black ppl in the US under #COVID19. The right to life for the Black and Palestinian diasporas are deeply tied. #NakbaDay #FreePalestine #BlackLivesMatter progressive.org/dispatches/us-…
While Black ppl in the US bear the brunt of #COVID19 deaths and are being arrested and jailed by police for "not obeying social distancing," Palestinians are seeing their testing sites shutdown and destroyed by Israeli police. #NakbaDay #FreePalestine haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…
On this day of mourning, let's remember that it is within our power to #EndTheDeadlyExchange between IDF and US Police departments, #Demilitarize globally, and honor the #RightofReturn for our Palestinian family. #FreePalestine #NakbaDay #BlackLivesMatter aljazeera.com/news/2018/04/d…
