Local Politics
In life, either you win, or you get something to work on and we, here in Milton Ontario, have a lot of work to do.
Current Events
First post as a published author
So today I became a published author and it is with incredible gratitude that I had the opportunity to use this new status to sign an open letter condemning the Zionist and genocidal state of Israel's murder of more than 244 Palestinian journalists. The number has grown since the time signatures started being collected.
The open letter states...
Sign a Petition. Direct support of Palestinians
So there's a Canadian petition collecting signatures called e-6662 and it's the first link on my bio. It calls for the Canadian government to cut ties with Israel in concrete ways. The fact this is sponsored by a Liberal Member of Parliament is a big deal and I'll get into why.1
A quick note on Kirk and the only way back to a sane normal
Charlie Kirk was an unarmed non-combatant and he was lethally targeted on the 10th of September 2025 on a university campus in Utah. His life ending with a long distance bullet to the neck in the USA.1
I am going to be completely morally consistent here.
The final boss of Zionist rhetoric
So one thing we need to talk about is Zohran Mamdani recently saying he will now discourage the use of the phrase "Globalize the Intifada." on the 8th of September on MSNBC.1
Dark Money and Para Social News Sources
So there was an article from Wired by journalist Taylor Lorenz about Democratic Influencers being funded by dark money on the 27th of August 20251 that has caused a mess online that doesn't seem to be going away. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then please skip this, you do not need to know, trust me.
Three quick thoughts
ContraPoints is a very successful creator of YouTube video essays that are critical of American politics and discourse from a progressive perspective. She has been silent on the genocide of the Palestinian people until about two weeks ago and while there are plenty of other commentators that have raked her comments over the coals. I want to pen my own thoughts down.
Also a Zio defended the concepts of ethno-states and I need to clarify my own thoughts there as well.
Finally AOC disappoints yet again.
Islamophobic attacks continue
Zohran Mamdani, Democratic Nominee for Mayor of New York City, has faced constant attacks targeting him for his faith since his campaign for Mayor started to see success.1
On the 2nd of July 2025, one day after Canada Day, a Muslim woman was swarmed in the city of Osahwa, her hijab pulled off of her as she was stomped in the head.2
Three Palestinian men were shot in Burlington Vermont for the sin of speaking Arabic and wearing keffiyehs, one of them will never walk again. 3
Six year old Wadea al-Fayoume was stabbed to death by his landlord in Plainfield Township, who yelled "You Muslims must die." 4
Happy Canada Day
Happy Canada Day everyone. Let's take the opportunity to talk about something our Prime Minister, Mark Carney said on CNN in late June 2025. He said, and I am paraphrasing slightly that we cannot have peace in the Middle East unless we have a 'Zionist, if you will, Palestinian state' that recognizes the right of Israel to 'not live in fear'.
This is so incredibly insane that I am left wondering what Canadian values even are anymore. Let's quickly analyze this.
Being Shia
Us Shia people are in the news a lot lately. What with the groups and countries that are directly resisting Israel outside of Palestine being Shia, and Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for Mayor of New York City being Shia as well. And since it's the start of the Islamic Month of Muharram, which is an incredibly important time for us. It's a good time to talk about what that means.
