Great new song from Sarah! (of course, I'm biased but it's a good 'un. Bonus feature: The video was shot in PEI.) https://t.co/mXikkg2ru1

Wow! We applaud these 300+ Canadian Jewish communal leaders and philanthropists:

"[W]e believe it is imperative that we speak out at this time to challenge these pending judicial changes in a clear, urgent, and unequivocally strong voice."

@PoppyNoor Great story on Tennessee (now Colorado) doctor. Painful to read; but thank you.

Occasionally, The Gazette spikes one of my cartoons as with this, meant for Saturday's paper. They have reasons for doing so, and are always polite about it, allowing me to post the killed cartoon on platforms to garner public reaction. Would you have printed this?

@CitizenTalin @CBCRadioCanada "grape·shot | ˈɡrāpˌSHät |
noun historical
ammunition consisting of a number of small iron balls fired together from a cannon." I wonder what they'll hit this time.

@finnertymike @pvanrens Umm, what kind of cheese did you bring?

I’m too busy getting updates and writing to feel much emotion right now but my 15 year-old just said to me “Aba, that photo really moved me. It’s a far-right Jew and an Islamist Arab and they’ve just decided to put everything aside and work together”

Live, from Israel, it is Saturday Night. Some 3000 people in Tel Aviv under the banner "Jews & Arabs Refuse to Hate."

ICYMI: “One million Quebecers can’t read or write and we have the lowest graduation rates in the country, but ‘Bonjour-Hi!’ is a threat to the French language? We never tackle the real issues.”

How do you film a documentary during a pandemic? Take a look at how our professor @BarryLazar tackled it and what it was like for students! ⤵ https://t.co/u0TtgkURkN

@bruceanderson @adamvettorel @cschlesak @northandnavy @CantinaGia @sghottawa @carolesaab @nljco @nacgirl @JimWatsonOttawa @petermansbridge @powerstim @RobSilver Short term this great. Long term it has to be affordable housing. In Quebec housing and homelessness each fall under different portfolios at the municipal, provincial and federal levels - that is 6 different departments to deal with one issue. How can we make this work?

What a relief to get away from Trump and Covid for a day and to draw an old-fashioned Canadian cartoon bashing the CBC for The #MontrealGazette! https://t.co/Q4sSyzmWT0

This is a well written, common sense appeal to the government on behalf of restauranteurs in Quebec from @joebeef This should not fall on deaf ears.

Or keep the EC (could be too difficult to remove) but let it be as intended (pre-Jefferson) with the electors following proportional representation in their state.

With the Canadiens now clearly in position to win the Stanley Cup, Projet Montreal, seizing the opportunity to announce some good news, unveils the new parade route down St. Catherine street.

@brenkjm Hi - I saw the NYT piece. Fascinating & entertaining. I am working on a short doc for a non-profit and will have to Zoom the intvus. Could you share advice on how you filmed and recorded them for "That's Rediculous." Much appreciated, ([email protected])

A letter to Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman:

Right does not matter to Donald Trump. But it matters to you. It matters to this country and to its people. It will always matter.

And with those words, you have left an indelible mark on our nation’s conscience and history.
