I once talked about mushrooms, drones, and Justin Bieber with Michael Bublé.
At B.C.’s universities, a violent RCMP unit showed up to spy on student Palestine protests.

We have an incredible speaker line-up, too!! Ft Kristen as moderator; feminist migration & public law expert @jcyliew.bsky.social; @jamesyap.bsky.social, counsel in Nevsun v Araya(!!); @jeff.doctor, never lacking for 🔥 takes, esp re Indigenous sovereignty; & Jason Toney @cjpme.org, already on it.
So glad sthg like this is finally happening, largely thx to @kristenthomasen.bsky.social. Been ~2.5 years now of layers of disheartenment & sustained moral injury (5 if count covid), and a public discussion focused specifically on Canadian complicity, from a tech /tech law angle, is long overdue.
Tuesday, March 10, 4pm. FREE.
"how can concerned observers broaden their resistance to Canada’s contributions to ICE in order to mitigate and prevent complicity in violence around the world?"
The panel will feature the brilliant: @jcyliew.bsky.social @jamesyap.bsky.social @jeff.doctor and Jason Toney @cjpme.org.
Tuesday Mar 10, from 4-5:30pm.

I had the pleasure of joining Matt Galloway on CBC’s The Current this morning to talk about *that* Amazon Ring Superbowl ad. It's heartening to see the perception of commercial surveillance networks shifting toward rejection.
Saying no to bad tech is always an option.

It is really amazing to see something that you helped create and put out into the world, take on a life of its own. There are at least four independently organized upcoming micro-consultations for the #PCAI! Linking them below, if you're in the area, want to join, or as examples to follow:
I’d say US men’s hockey won fool’s gold but it’d be an insult to pyrite.
This guy gets it.
If I were the Leafs GM I’d trade Matthew’s for one of Quinn Hughes’ ghosts
🤢🥺 don’t like this feeling.
Growing up near Toronto, I am used to the bitter pain of my team losing.
Unfortunately, relatedly, I am very much not used to Auston Matthews winning.

Can I sue for IIMS? this topic and more.. 😭💔🤢
Can I sue the olympics for the stress I’m surviving? This topic and more in this week’s tort law class.. 😭🤞🏻
Incredible victory! After years of organizing across Canada, Scotia Bank has divested from Elbit Systems!
Elbit is Israel's largest weapons company, arming the occupation and genocide of Palestine.

#Amazon #Ring is still, again, and always will be in the business of leveraging its network of luxury surveillance consumers as a law enforcement tool. Via @hypervisible.blacksky.app newrepublic.com/post/206568/...
Pure corruption of the crudest sort. And Lutnick and Trump are in on it. A Detroit billionaire met with Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, hours before President Trump said he would block the opening of a new bridge connecting Detroit to Canada, officials said.
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
Very excited to say that 404 Media's zine about ICE Surveillance is here. If you ordered a print copy, I put it in the mail last week. If not, we of course think the info inside is very important so here's a free PDF. We also translated it into Spanish:

Here you go.
Canada’s government brought Roshel’s CEO on a trade mission SIX DAYS after Renee Good was murdered by ICE (and a little over a month after it came out that Roshel is contracted to sell ICE $10 million worth of armoured vehicles)
