โWhat really gets me about whatโs happening to Dresden is that this is a prime example of a government and a premier making another promise and commitment and breaking it.โ added opposition leader Marit Stiles.
Farmers are also fearful of the water contamination which would not only threaten the potable water supply of local farms but also drinkable water. Local farmer Jim Bracket also noted that the landfill could attract pests and cause ecological disturbances.
โThis is colonization dressed in a corporate suit and motivated by greed.โ said Chief Thomas of Walpole Island First Nation, located a 30 minute drive from Dresden. โThe federal government is working hand in hand with provinces [and] violating the rights of First Nations.โ

On May 25, Palestinian-Canadian filmmakers Dalia Al Ahmad and Rawan Ramini came to Western Universityโs Conron Hall to premiere their Vancouver-based documentary series โAna Falastiniโ discussing a specific part of Palestinian identity through interviews in both Arabic and English.
โItโs invisible work to many, because we work with the Deaf and hard of hearing community, if you are not a member of that community or someone close to you is, you might not see how important a part we are,โ said CUPE 2073 picket captain Seavers.
Workers for Canadian Hearing Services (CHS) are still on strike, with their Employer refusing to come to the bargaining table or exchange demands.
โWe canโt be in Gaza โ but we can be here,โ a local rally coincided with a larger global action taking place at the Rafah border crossing, where over 50 countries have united under the banner of the Global March to Gazaโa coalition demanding an end to the illegal siege.

David Heap @davidheap.bsky.social a community member, made a call for men to join the demonstrations. โItโs important for men to show up at these sort of events to show that we all support survivors. We know that ending rape culture begins with all of us in particular.โ
Norah Fraser, Co-Chair of London Council @canadiansorg.bsky.social argued it is imperative that Canada Post not be privatized: โCanada Post as a crown corporation, mandated to deliver postal service to all Canadian communities."

"It all comes down to one thing: tenants need to organize and fight for the protections they want to see in their home and in this city." A new perspective's piece on ACORN's Healthy Homes Forum
"At Museum London on February 20th, a painting of a glowing brain is displayed on an easel... The piece is called โPortrait of Elliotโ, painted by artist Natasha Beaudoin. It is based on a real MRI scan of her boyfriend, Elliot Tomlinson, who was diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst."
โI think that people showing up here together and getting to see people who are like-minded . . . [helps with] envisioning justice and what the world can look like beyond this and beyond the Canadian court system"
"Committing to educating ourselves, learning to fact check information, and critically thinking about information presented to us by political leaders, the internet, and the media is one way to mediate this threat of misinformation surrounding queer rights, education, and laws."
"To every martyr of the Nakba and every martyr since then: we carry your memory like fire in our veins. And to the world: you may try to erase us, you may bomb our cities, you may starve our people, you may ban our flags, but you will never erase the spirit of Palestine. You will never kill hope."
โThe struggle of working-class people, itโs an international struggle, right? All over the world people are facing the same kinds of attacks to their wages, their living standards, their health and safety, to their human and civil rights โ we want to be a part of that [struggle].โ
โThe Western world is complicit in the genocide, and without the Western world the genocide couldnโt have continued. Continue to struggle from outside, weโre continuing to struggle from inside.โ says Einat Gerlitz, a 21 year old Israeli Jew who refused to enlist in the Israeli military in 2022.
