I'm here in Toronto, for @TheCanadaFiles, covering the second attempt to hold a Toronto stop of Dimitri Lascaris' Canada-wide tour: "Making Peace with Russia, One Handshake at a Time". Event seems all set to go, no location cancellation this time.

Event chair @PSidRyan gives an introduction to @dimitrilascaris' Toronto peace tour stop today. Ryan emphasizes how Lascaris is being attacked for daring to talk about peace instead of constant escalation. https://t.co/gY0nMzdnxAtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@PSidRyan @dimitrilascaris Dimitri Lascaris speaks about how he got to know Sid Ryan, and gives his own introduction to his Toronto peace tour stop.

@PSidRyan @dimitrilascaris Jason Baines, a Toronto organizer, gives a passionate speech calling for people to join and financially support a Toronto anti-war coalition, in the style of Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War (@HamiltonHcsw). https://t.co/x7iIUF72AYtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@PSidRyan @dimitrilascaris @HamiltonHcsw .@TheCanadaFiles revealed that a pre-Maidan coup Canadian aid program targeted judges' interpretations of Ukrainian land law, enabling a post-coup privatization drive. This was then enabled by another Canadian aid program. I asked @dimitrilascaris about the West's war on Ukraine. https://t.co/NHDiFwr4Tptwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

I asked Dimitri Lascaris about his view on the impact of his Cross-Canada peace tour on Canadian politics and political discourse.

I'm here in Montreal, for @TheCanadaFiles, covering today's stop of Dimitri Lascaris' Canada-wide tour: "Making Peace with Russia, One Handshake at a Time". Lascaris just arrived on location, after a pub location was cancelled under Ukraine supporter pressure. https://t.co/I9vJUDHOCutwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

An organizer introduces the event (in French).

Dimitri Lascaris gives an opening monologue for his Montreal stop, and leads attendees in a chant of "stop killing Ukrainians", after Ukrainian right-wingers and their allies attempted to shout him down using this chant.

I'm here in Ottawa covering an event for @TheCanadaFiles, which marks the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act, implemented in 1923. Look for more coverage over the next few hours.

Pictures just minutes before the Chinese Exclusion Act 100th anniversary event begins, on Parliament Hill.

The Winnipeg stop of @dimitrilascaris' cross-Canada tour happened last night. Lascaris praised the Winnipeg organizers for securing a third venue, after two were pressured out of hosting the event & emphasized how deplatforming attempts only bring more attention.
