If provinces don't start spending the appropriate amount of money on fire prevention through controlled burnings, perhaps someone can train small teams in communities to do so.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Honest question, Minister @EvanLSolomon: why does an intelligent, good guy like you, with a background in communications, repeat the absurd cliché that “antisemitism has no place… anywhere in Canada?”
The opposite is obviously true.
By every metric, antisemitism has a large and growing place in Canada.
So can we please just drop that ridiculous bromide and start to confront the painful reality that we, as a society, have allowed history’s oldest and most pernicious hatred to metastasize in Canada?
Of course this is not reducible to a partisan question, but surely some responsibility for the sickening growth in antisemitism falls to the national government that has been in office for over a decade.
The government that, as a matter of policy, dropped the Harper government’s formal acknowledgement of the the uniquely pernicious and durable nature of antisemitism?
The government that has funded vile antisemites through parodic “anti racism” programs.
The government that rewarded the perpetrators of the deadliest pogrom of Jews since the Shoah with recognition of a non existant Palestinian “state.”
The government that restored and increased funding to one of the greatest sources of violent antisemitism: UNWRA, which poisons the minds of Palestinian children with Jew hatred.
A government that has done nothing to address the problem of rampant antisemitism in many of Canada’s universities, where scapegoating Israel as the “collective Jew” (to quote Irwin Cotler) has become commonplace.
And a government whose naive approach to multiculturalism, immigration, and integration is willfully blind to the sad but undeniable reality that antisemitism is deeply embedded in certain cultures.
To all of those in office: enough with the cliches every time there is a new outrage targeting the Jewish community.
Real leadership is required, which means risking and spending political capital.
Destroying buildings is not genocide. Warning people that you’re going to destroy their buildings before you do, is definitely not genocide. Stopping the war when we got our hostages back shows it never was genocide. Targeting and taking out people who murdered, raped and abducted our fellow citizens is justice, not “ongoing” genocide. The famine that never happened is not genocide. Taking quotes out of context does not prove genocide. And for all of you who continue to lie about this and treat it like it’s just a simple fact like the color of the sky? You are justifying the harming and killing of Israelis and Jews. You’ve chosen the wrong side.
Nobelist Milton Friedman on socialism: “The essential notion of a socialist society is fundamentally force.”
Socialism has NEVER and WILL NEVER produce prosperity.

One of the top investigative journalists in Canada in a shrinking field. Sam Cooper nails it. Why do you think Canada's mainstream media continues to demand Poilievre's removal? They are bought off by the Liberal government who is in turn owned by China.
