"Jews" might sound like a slur to her, but that's her.
We're Jews. We're ok with it.

U of T commissioned a report on anti-Muslim/Arab racism, as it should. But the authors handed in a report largely about Jews, citing Israel 198 times & "genocide" 46 times. It deems it racist to call Hamas militants in Canada security threats.
Good on U of T for rejecting it.

There’s an obsession in Canada with making things equal even when they’re not equal, a both-sidesism.
If a narrative emerges about how one group is being targeted, there’s a need to balance it out with a counternarrative that a preferred victim class is also being targeted.
This plotline, in which @avilewis is in grave danger due to imaginary Zionist extremists radicalized by a National Post op-ed (!) is an utter fabrication & an inversion of the real threats facing Jews every day. I haven't seen a shred of evidence supporting it. WTF @TorontoStar?

Another Montreal kosher restaurant broken into amid string of attacks at Jewish-owned businesses montrealgazette.com/news/loc…
Montreal is where my grandparents met. It's the city I chose when I left home. It's the city I think of as the soul of Jewish Canada.
And it's heartbreaking to see what's happening to it. But it's not too late.
I'm speaking in Montreal next week. Come. theshaar.org/event/the-polit…

The lesson from Philadelphia is that communities that care about Jews can shut down antizionist hate whenever they choose to.
Antizionist Diana Bosco was ordered by a court to stay away from the Jewish neighbourhood of Bathurst & Sheppard, where protesters menace the community every weekend. Bosco violated that court order repeatedly. Yesterday they were finally arrested.

Where are the apologies to @bariweiss?
Every honest person knows that this Trump interview was 100X more intelligently and non-partisanly skeptical, and all around superior to anything the old CBS would have produced.

Philly’s massive pushback against the antizionist hate movement today is a shining example to those who actually care about brotherly love, social justice and civil rights.
Bravo.
This is called stomping out hate.

The slow and steady march of Canada's journalism industry becoming nearly completely subsidized by and reliant on government money continues, ...as the subsidies now spread beyond print to TV and radio newsrooms, following heavy lobbying:
$501 million in spending over five years. $85 million ongoing.
Today's budget:
"Budget 2026 proposes to extend eligibility for the Canadian Journalism Labour Tax Credit to the production of audio and audiovisual news. Audio and audiovisual news organizations that qualify as a QCJO and meet existing CJLTC-specific Canadian ownership requirements would be eligible to claim the tax credit in respect of the salary or wages of an eligible newsroom employee.
Qualifying organizations would be entitled to the same 35-per-cent credit rate and annual labour expenditure limit of $85,000 per employee that apply to written news production. "
