I share in the shock at the shameful demonstrations that took place last night at Mount Sinai Hospital. I stand with my neighbours and the Jewish community in condemning this act of antisemitism.
Joe here was the chair of the board of JSpace, a progressive, pro-peace Jewish organization dedicated to Palestinian self-determination.
But he's been outspoken against anti-Jew racism.
Somehow those two things became incompatible.
During a fundraising event at Radio City Music Hall, President Joe Biden, accompanied by Stephen Colbert, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, remarks 'Dark Brandon is real,' March 2024.
We have offered RCMP support in investigating these crimes and today I announced we will be providing $1M to organizations who are supporting survivors of sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7th.
They're pro-terror rallies. They've *always been* pro-terror rallies. They will *always be* pro-terror rallies. The rallies have not made the slightest attempt to conceal this because – and I can't stress this enough – they like terror and are angry that you don't.
Homes are for Canadians to live in and should not be used as a financial asset class by foreigners. We are using all possible tools to make housing more affordable across the country—including by extending the ban on foreign ownership of housing in Canada.

First they came for the Jews, yesterday they came for the Italians.
Who will be next?
History has shown us that what starts with the Jews never ends with the Jews. We must stand together,

Why the first Starship Troopers movie failed as a parody, a thread:
Watching the movie, it was clear the director was aiming for a campy, over-the-top depiction of the Terran Federation. Perhaps not an outright mockery, but certainly a drastic departure from the serious novel.
The civilians in Rafah are people— they are mothers, children. They have names, stories— and they exist. Asking them to move again is unacceptable.
They have nowhere to go.
We need a hostage deal, for more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza and we need a sustainable ceasefire.
It has been 200 days since hostages were taken by Hamas terrorists, & remain in captivity. Families and loved ones continue to face unspeakable pain, awaiting their return.
Today, we reiterate our call on Hamas to release all hostages immediately & for a sustainable ceasefire.
The demonstration at Mount Sinai Hospital yesterday was reprehensible. Hospitals are places for treatment and care, not protests and intimidation.
I strongly condemn this display of antisemitism. In Toronto and across Canada, we stand with Jewish communities against this hate.
حادث سير جديد في القدس:
انقلاب سيارة الوزير الإسرائيلي "حاييم بيتون" في حي "رموت" في القدس وإصابة والده بجراح خطيرة وامه بجراح متوسطة وهو لم يكن بالسيارة!!
There’s a simple fix for the protests. American universities must achieve their final form by expelling ALL students leaving only sports slaves and a handful of tenured weirdos cranking out whitepapers and working on MKULTRA 2
my view on the Israel-Palestine conflict is that it’s been going on for more than a century & there are shades of gray on both sides. It’s is not a simple story of good vs evil. This may sound obvious but acknowledging complexity too often gets you tarred as a heinous person.
With

leaders, we unanimously condemned Iran’s unprecedented attack against Israel.
All parties must exercise restraint. We will continue all our efforts to work towards de-escalation. Ending the crisis in Gaza as soon as possible, notably through an immediate ceasefire, will…

This is very poor journalism.
She met with one guy, and a week later an entirely different guy’s office asked a department to remove a statement.
That’s it. That’s the entire substance of their allegation that she did it.
Unless her being Jewish is to be considered evidence.
Unvarnished bigotry, pure anti-Jew hatred and misogyny at a "Jewish-led protest" claimed by

, who are providing cover for these bigots at a Montreal synagogue.
Alright. We’ve all had our fun with American entryist and ex “DSA Canada” Dr Robotnik stand in Joe Roberts but this guy is true racist piece of fucking shit
In our hyper-polarized and echo-chambered world, you have people feeling comfortable to organise a rave to block humanitarian aid, to women and children a stone throw away being who are decimated by an indiscriminate war machine

It is with a heavy heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar. Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I was still proudly wore this ape. By extension, it is part of me.…
I dedicate Jonathan Glazer’s Oscar to the brave and brilliant men and women of the IDF and to the State of Israel. Don’t stop till the enemy is defeated.
a lot of 2000s indie, including stuff I like, feel really trapped in that era, something i enjoy because of nostalgia and associated memories. Apologies to the Queen Mary is the opposite: an album that i appreciate more every year. a historically great rock record.

The Canadian government will pay $5 million USD in compensation to Michael Spavor over his detention in China after he sued them.
You don't pay that kind of money if you insist China's reason was baseless. Korvig was a spy, Spavor paid the price.
Young Canadians put a lot of their hard-earned money towards rent every month. We think that should count for a lot more – like towards your credit score.

This was Toronto 🇨🇦 on a Saturday night in the business district a few weeks ago. Many Canadians felt it crossed a line. We respect diversity but not having it imposed upon us. Worship is not intended for the streets. That’s always been the culture, sensitivity, the way.

official PR response to criticism is that the US Army/defense industry are innovators catalysing “game change” or whatever. Hasn’t the US basically lost every single war since 1945?
