The two men found guilty of mischief and firearms offences for their roles in the 2022 Coutts border blockade want the Alberta Court of Appeal to overturn their convictions, while prosecutors are seeking new trials on the more serious charge of conspiring to murder RCMP officers, for which they were acquitted.

Four appeals — two Crown and two defence — have now been filed in the cases of Anthony Olienick and Chris Carbert, who were convicted in August of mischief over $5,000 and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace.

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.

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! EDIT: Mountains are not a deal breaker. Water would be nice, but sea level rise is a concern.
