The groups TurtleIsland4Palestine (and all their subgroups) as well as Samidoun are organizing a National March on Ottawa, taking place at Parliament Hill on March 9th at 1PM. It is taking place on a Saturday at the end of the Uni spring break, to make it easier for students and others to mobilize on the same date.

If you can't go for any reason but could afford to, I recommend you donate the money you could've used on a bus ticket to one of these fundraisers, under tabs 'masterlist' or 'mutual aid'.

A $2.5 million lawsuit alleges Ottawa police wiretapped and surveilled five of its own Black, Somali officers, hasn't told them why and accuses the service of being an institution "rife with racism and discrimination that over-polices the racialized communities it has pledged to protect."

The civil action was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice by constables Liban Farah, Mohamed Islam, Abdullahi Ahmed, AhmedKhador Ali and Feisal Bila Houssein in 2023 against the Ottawa Police Services Board and three unnamed members of the Ottawa Police Service (OPS). In addition to the five officers, there are three civilian plaintiffs who are family members of two of the officers.

As first reported by CBC, the lawsuit alleges three wiretaps and a general warrant which included video surveillance were obtained "based on racist and stereotypical assumptions about Black persons of Somali origin." They don't know why the wiretap authorizations and general warrant were approved by a judge because they're sealed.

[...]

The Plaintiffs "believe that they were the subject of wiretaps for ulterior motives in breach of their Charter rights: retaliation for their complaints about racism within the OPS, their attempts to improve the OPS and stereotypes about their kinship and familial relationships," the lawsuit states.

Better late than never. Let’s hope CERTAIN OTHER COUNTRIES follow suit.
