Wrong time to rename Yonge-Dundas Sq. - The name "

People expect leaders to lead. They want action when laws are broken.
Instead of standing up to the protestors,

Yesterday,

asked why I care about the surge of hate & disinformation targeting Jews.
Unfortunately, I know about the weaponization of false allegations & denial of justice.
I refuse to stand by while 🇨🇦’s Jewish community goes through what my family & I endured.

NOT using their platforms to denounce terrorism & the annihilation of the Jewish people begs the question, would they have looked the other way during the 1st Holocaust ?

• firebombing of a Jewish deli
• busiest highway in North America again blocked, cops give out coffee
• mayor's skating party attacked, seniors & families intimidated
No arrests in any of those. That's not even a week. That's just the past five days.

Imagine: 51 apartments spread over four floors of a refurbished retirement home. But half of the 72 residents are over 70; the rest are aged 18-25. There is so much good in this idea. The Swedish experiment in intergenerational living:
Another innocent child reunited from 50 days held captive in darkness, returns to the light and love of her parents and community.

It was anything but peaceful. Blocking hospital staff from entering, shouting "infitada" over and over again. Climbing outside hospital scaffolding, banging on hospital windows. Lots of footage with sound. A horrific display of

Masks are no longer required in Melbourne. It has been that way for quite a few weeks. But many of my patients still ask me politely if I’d like them to wear a mask. They still do carry their masks.
I am quite touched by that simple gesture of respect of checking in.

Of the 129 Israeli hostages, 21 are believed to be dead. Most of the remaining hostages are men, 19 women & 3 children still captive. Include: Shiri Bibas, 32 & her 3 sons, Ariel 4 & Kfir, 11 months may be dead. Unconfirmed. What about these innocent civilians? We want answers!
Canada’s inflation rate this year is 4.1% yet Ontario’s nurses are capped at 1% increase for 3 years due to Bill 124. MPPs got a raise of 14%. Bill 124 needs to be revoked.

So why won't she help her own people. Jordan refuses to let Gazans into their country. Nice neighbors. She is showing she doesn't really care about them by her lack of action.

How is the media not constantly asking WHY Ontario hasn’t yet vaccinated every single staff and resident in our LTC homes? Instead we get trips to Pearson and stories about Trudeau and unending discussions about kids’ mental health as if the govt actually cared about our kids.
