As repression against the Palestinian liberation movement in Canada continues to intensify, this handbook serves as yet another tool for curtailing our right to protest and speak out against the atrocities Israel is committing. As charges from the past year against protestors in Toronto are being dropped, the state is seeking new and creative ways to criminalize Palestinian solidarity. Hiding behind the same excuse used to found the State of Israel, the IHRA definition of antisemitism and the newly released handbook are merely another tool for distraction and repression.

A woman who says she was repeatedly denied adequate emergency care last spring is blasting the Newfoundland and Labrador health-care system, saying she's been left psychologically scarred after being told several times that her gangrenous appendix was simply anxiety or constipation.

Joy Spence, 21, said she visited emergency departments at two hospitals in St. John's over the course of nearly two weeks this May.

What began as weakness and abdominal pain on her right side quickly deteriorated into blacking out from the agony in her torso.

The union representing Canada Post workers said it will be in a legal strike position on Friday, exactly one year after talks on a new contract began.

The former player said drones were "systemic" and Priestman was "obsessed with having information about her opponent."

The judgment stands as damning evidence of systemic racism in Quebec policing

and of Legault's ongoing denial of its existence. According to a statement by the Red Coalition, an anti-racism lobby group, his dismissal and inaction to confront the problem seems to have emboldened race-based discrimination in Quebec.

In September, this led the group to call on the Quebec government to urgently create legislation to help stop the rise in racial injustices and hate crimes, and to provide a legal framework to combat systemic discrimination.

The views of the Legault government lie in stark contrast to those of Quebecers. A 2021 study by the Association for Canadian Studies found that 66 per cent of residents believed that the term is an accurate description of the type of discrimination and prejudice experienced by minorities in the province.

I definitely require high speed internet access. Other than that, I could use some help!

Someone I know (nickname: Jane Doe) was a victim of sexual violence in Toronto. Could you please provide all (ideally the most effective and best) organization contacts (e.g. police, gender-based violence (GVB) against women entities/orgs) to report the event, support and effectively and fast catch the perpetrator (both for Jane Doe's safety and of other people), and provide me with information, protocols, resources, apps, psychological support, risk assessment and creating a safety plan against GVB and re-victimization, etc.

Also, please provide me with links to laws on gender-based violence, and more specifically sexual violence and harassment against women to make us aware of what exactly constitutes his crimes and to hopefully put the perpetrator on jail. Let's do this, Toronto. Of course I'm providing Jane Doe's with support and help as long as Jane Doe's is comfortable with.

If anyone here has gone through this process, please share the details and insights and how to best and most effectively handle the situation in all its processes, for example with reporting to the police and how do you protect yourselves from re-victimization.

I compiled and sent this file to Jane Doe for now specifically with Toronto/Ontario/Canada resources: https://oshi.at/GePn
