I don’t know what to say anymore. As doctors, we can’t stop a genocide and we can’t end a famine.

We provided a diagnosis - genocide.

We provided a prescription to end the genocide - for Canada to end its complicity and direct involvement in Israel’s crimes now.

"Even if Gaza were provided with the finest tents, they would not last through the winter. What people are waiting for is a political solution that makes their lives less catastrophic, not another season of temporary aid."

Palestinian children now enduring their fourth winter of this! Fourth.

This whole conversation is incredible, and a reminder that we’ve never seen Pierre Poilievre or Mark Carney communicate policy on this level.

If you're a billionaire, this budget is Christmas come early.

Canadians are struggling with the cost of everything — groceries, rent, medication, and everything in between. But this budget only makes it easier for the same corporations fuelling the crisis to profit even more.

So grateful for all the work you do, @leilanifarha, in fighting for a different world. A world where every person counts, people have the right to housing, and human rights prevails. ❤️

Canada’s federal budget is out on Thursday and will likely be a corporate wishlist of weapons, AI, fossil fuels, and tax cuts.

But the @ccpa has crunched the numbers to propose an alternative federal budget for working people.

Saima Desai runs through 10 of their proposals.

A dear fellow activist, Jeff Houlahan, passed away on October 14, 2026, age 67. What an immense loss for our world. He dedicated so much time and energy to love and solidarity work, including for Palestine. He was working on this initiative right before his passing. I hope you ️‍🩹

“Writing the names of the murdered children of Gaza is a simple act that any of us can do. Azeer Al-Shaair writes a name on tape that he places on his face when he plays for the Houston Texans of the NFL. We write a name on a stone and place the stone conspicuously around our communities. We write the murdered child’s name on one side of the stone and “killed by Israel” on another side. We do this to honour and remember the murdered children of Gaza. And to remind people that children continue to be murdered everyday in Gaza.” - Jeff Houlahan

Il est temps de lancer des projets d'intérêt national pour le peuple.

En vue du budget 2026, nous demandons aux libéraux de donner la priorité à trois grands projets qui réduiront les coûts et amélioreront la vie de millions de familles, le tout financé par un impôt sur la s plus riches.

• Faire un investissement initial pour bâtir un réseau de 50 épiceries publiques.
• Tripler les investissements du gouvernement fédéral dans le logement communautaire afin de construire un million de logements hors marché pour les gens.
• Faire un investissement structurant pour le pays dans notre système de santé, y compris le financement de l'assurance-médicaments d’un océan à l’autre.

One of the precious memories I have now from visiting Cuba was meeting the therapeutic clowns at the William Soler Pediatric Hospital. As part of the Mariposa Brigade we brought many suitcases of medical supplies, infant formula, and medications to this children’s hospital. The as made treating pediatric patients in this hospital increasingly challenging because of the fuel shortages and lack of essential supplies.

Meeting and playing with the therapeutic clowns at the William Soler Pediatric Hospital reminded me of my training with Molly-Penny the therapeutic clown when I was in medical school. When there are things beyond our control, sometimes it’s important to find joy and laughter even in the most difficult moments. Kindness and care can sometimes be the best medicine. There is something deeply moving to see fellow healthcare workers valuing the importance of love as a practice of humanity in our work in medicine both within the hospital setting and beyond. And solidarity work is an expression of our love for humanity and commitment to collective liberation. Let Cuba live! 🇨🇺

Tipped off by the Palestine solidarity movement, Calabrian union workers helped to stall 17 containers bound for Israel. buff.ly/T3tUy6Y

Dockworkers went on strike across 113 ports in 22 countries to disrupt the transport of weapons of war, in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

“Canada has a responsibility to ensure that weapons and military equipment produced here are not used to harm Palestinian civilians or contribute to violations of international humanitarian law.

We call on the Government of Canada to end all direct and indirect transfers of arms and military equipment to Israel.”

When I spent time in Cuba a bit over a week ago, one of the really special moments was meeting Palestinian medical graduates, Dr. Ihab and Dr. Motee, with my friend Rania who was also on the Mariposa Brigade with me.

Cuba has been training medical students from all over the ors on medical brigades to support communities in need around the world. While facing an immensely difficult U.S. blockade, the Cuban medical system continues to train medical students from all over the world.

Meeting medical students who are training to be doctors who understand their role to advocate for changing the social and political root causes of disease and illness affecting the populations they care for, was deeply inspiring and hopeful for a practice of medicine that is grounded in international solidarity and a shared love for collective humanity and liberation.

For the children of Palestine.

this is what Ed Sheeran was trying to silence

Canada's unions passed a resolution calling on workers to refuse to handle weapons and military equipment destined for Israel.

We stand with Palestinian workers in their fight for peace, justice, and respect for international law.

Last week I was in Cuba. We bore witness to the impacts of the over six decades long U.S. blockade and siege on the people of Cuba. We brought donated medical supplies, medications, and other essential items but this is not a sustainable solution.

The people of Cuba are here is a dire lack of energy and fuel, leading to blackouts and water shortages. Food costs are high, people can’t afford to feed their families. Medication is unavailable or on extremely short supply.

This blockade maintained by the U.S. must end. Today there was a United Nations resolution on condemning the economic embargo imposed on Cuba. Canada must do more to support the people of Cuba as they continue to suffer the consequences of Western imperialism and interference with their sovereignty, independence, and self-determination. Let Cuba live! 🇨🇺

The Canadian Network on Cuba holds a news conference on Parliament Hill to call on the federal government to oppose the U.S. embargo against Cuba and strengthen economic and diplomatic ties between the two countries.

So very grateful for the birthday wishes. So much love to all the people who I have befriended on this magnificent journey we call life. The world can be a scary place with injustices everywhere we look, but the extraordinary people I’ve met along the way show me a different e - one that is filled with joy, laughter, and care. I’m so thankful for my parents who brought me into this world and taught me to not take myself or anything ever too seriously, and most importantly to be a good human being to others on this shared planet we call home. ❤️
