Panel of Experts’ unanimous report that evidence warrants Int’l Criminal Court OTP’s laying of charges for war crimes &/or crimes against humanity against 3 Hamas military and political chiefs and 2 of Israel’s Cabinet ministers. Read it. Inform yourself. https://t.co/rQHVdendDj

Ed Broadbent’s passing comes as Canadian politics is becoming increasingly toxic, dumbed down and personal.
Swinging for the algorithms is augmenting the alienation.
We would do well to reflect on Broadbent's vision of public service.

One of Ed @Broadbent's signature accomplishments was pressuring Pierre Trudeau to include Indigenous & women's rights in the Charter of Rights & Freedoms. This hand-written first draft of what became s. 35 of the Charter hangs in the Broadbent Institute's Toronto office #cdnpoli

I’m moved by the final paragraph of this generous statement from the Star’s editorial board: “Ed Broadbent was the first New Democrat this newspaper, in this space, endorsed to be Prime Minister of Canada, ahead of the 1979 election. Today, we endorse him again.”

Remembering Peter Russell, a giant of political science in Canada | Steve Pailin remembers. A gentleman giant, I would add. Peter was a wonderful person in top of being a great and influential scholar. https://t.co/5FR9d0fkH8

"Avoid all the bloody cliches. Talk in plain language." One my of favourite Ed Broadbent quotes.

Sharing another memory below.

Thinking of Ed's family, friends, the @Broadbent Institute, and his role in Canadian politics and history.

⁦.@tonykeller1⁩ does service to push us to reflect, including: “The university should be a physically safe space. It should not be an intellectually or ideologically safe space.Universities have spent the past few decades blurring that distinction.” https://t.co/KGVnURJt6i

Looking forward to reflecting on the legacy of Peter Hogg w/ a panel of @SCC_eng judges - and to celebrating a friend and colleague who was truly an inspiration! See registration details below.

Targeting a business in this way is simply wrong and should not happen. We all need to not lose control of our emotions. We must treat others, our fellow Canadians, with respect and decency

What @tomfriedman⁩ has penned as plea to Biden needs reading by all: « The hour is late. I have never written a column this urgent before because I have never been more worried about how this situation could spin out of control. » #Israel #Palestine https://t.co/7pMBh4EiEl

“In Haifa and Jaffa, joint Jewish and Arab patrols seek to prevent violence on both sides. In the south, Bedouin residents risk their lives to search for victims of Hamas terror. In the shadow of war, Arab-Jewish solidarity initiatives emerge.” https://t.co/vnFrIEFJ3L.

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

The violence in Palestine and Israel is heartbreaking. I share the despair so many of you are feeling, and worry what the days to come may bring.

Please read our full statement.

Big congratulations to @WabKinew & the Manitoba NDP for making history with a victory tonight.
