Of the 9193 Canadians who have died from COVID-19, I've linked 7547 to residential care. There are now 658 facilities on my list. Some things to note tonight ... docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Ottawa's East End Villa went in just two days from not being on an outbreak list to having 6 dead. Quebec City is seeing similar spikes, with 4 dead in two different locations (3 in Beauport and one at RPA Résidence Kirouac).
This residence has been announced by the Ministry but not yet by the CIUSSCN. It's not a stretch to imagine that it was directly linked to the Bar Kirouac outbreak (I don't mean like a person who was at the karaoke necessarily but maybe) as these are all in the same neighbourhood
Notable tonight -- Ottawa released race-based data. COVID has disproportionately targeted racialized communities -- 66% (I hate how the writers used "from" here throughout, as if these communities are the source) ottawa.ctvnews.ca/66-per-cent-of…
And, families launch lawsuit against Villa Colombo in Kleinburg. Here, we note that families are alleging that homes did not test such that they know for sure their loved ones didn't die from COVID. yorkregion.com/news-story/101…
This is likely very common and we will never know the real death toll (also my cousin died from COVID in one of the Villa Colombo residences but I can't remember if it was Kleinburg or Toronto)

Thread -- I've finally had a chance to fully listen and I think that Jesse does himself a disservice in doing this on his own. As far as an editorial goes, he needs someone to help him navigate his thoughts. This isn't an opinion rooted in journalism, it's just an opinion.
Now, he has every right to having an opinion. Of course. But someone like him has to decide what kind of opinion serves this moment best now -- one rooted in his reaction to the attacks he's experienced, his complicated feelings towards what's happening, etc ...
Or one that goes deeper into understanding the interplay between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism given the current political context. He chose the former which many feel is inadequate, from someone of his stature and with his history of critical journalism.

Something that is almost always lost in discussion about hate crimes in Canadian society is: who do hate crimes benefit?

Remember: it is politically useful to have a terrorized minority population!
When a population is terrorized, they will be less politically bold. There will be forced consensus on the community because they unite against the hatred they experiene. It distracts the community; wastes time. It makes sure that they are focused on the hatred and nothing else.
These hate crimes *serve* the state. A terrorized and distracted group is easier to govern. Easier to scapegoat. Easier to control!

And police, the only real way society has decided to deal with hate crimes, they have no real interest to stop them!

Let's take apart this article.

1. The lede: "Jewish members of CUPE have filed a human rights claim"

All of them? Oh no, just 25.
2. "alleging discrimination and antisemitism, including recent messages seen as cheering for the deadly Hamas attacks on Israel."

I don't think that a statement that has no bearing on someone's life is actually discrimination. And recent messages seen as cheering on Hamas? Rly?
3. “This has caused the complainants to feel isolated, unwelcome, scared, silenced, discriminated against, threatened and harassed.”

Not one of these members has been as threatened and harassed as Fred Hahn has. The premier of the province called him discusting. On continue ...

Anatomy of a free speech crisis -- here, the law school calls the student statement "antisemitic" and being contrary to "inclusivity, dignity, and respect."

In reading this statement, you are left with no other interpretation. Except ...

torontomu.ca/law/news-event…
If you actually read the letter, you'll find that there is nothing, nothing whatsoever and at all, antisemitic contained within the letter.

The problem is though, the students took their letter offline. So it's very hard to read what they actually wrote.
And so in the airwars, these students are horrible people and the law school is simply defending safety and diversity on campus.

Whereas in reality the students are decrying settler-colonialism (including in Canada) and the law school will punish them severely for it.

🧵In the months leading up to the shooting at the Islamic Cultural Centre in Sainte-Foy, it felt like there was a train barrelling towards a crowd and no one was doing anything to stop it.

There were smaller incidents, rising hatred, hateful rhetoric and facists were *organized*
The shooter was not a member of these organized groups. He was radicalized principally online but the organized groups helped to create a culture where he decided to commit mass murder.

And while it was feeling like it could happen at any time ...
two months before the attack, the shooter took his loaded guns to a mall with the intention of committing a mass murder. He thought he had been seen in the parking garage by security cameras loading his guns, so he changed his mind.

He sat in the mall with his guns then left.
