@_animal_spirits@KevinVuongxMP Intent matters. Oct 7 was the most horrific massacre, they would have murdered a million if they could have. Israel, responding to a war, with attempt to spare civilian lives is no where near comparable. Wake up
Minister Anand,
I seriously doubt you believe any country factors in your statements into their response to missiles being fired on their population.
It's high time that both you and your ministry stop leveraging international conflicts for domestic political messaging.
3 months before “Black September” in 1970, an article in the life magazine showed the Palestinian Child Soldiers that were trained to bomb Israeli school buses, kidnap airplanes, and eventually clash with the Jordanians in an attempt to take over Jordan (until they were pushed to Lebanon were they did the exact same thing leading to the first Lebanon war).
This was my Google search exactly 6 hrs and 41 mins before Dr. Emmanuel Moss announced his departure.
My family has been in Canada since 1876. My grandfather fought a war for Canada. My father has the Order of Canada. Now I'm contemplating my exit.
Food for thought.

Since coming to power in 2015 the Liberals have appointed over 740 of our roughly 1000 federal judges, 7 of the 9 Supreme Court judges, and 100 of the 105 senators.
The government also pays roughly 30% of every reporter’s salary in Canada.
I’m no longer in public office, nor do I need to be paid to stand with a democratic ally.
I admire the Israeli people, who forged a nation out of the desert—a startup nation with the world’s highest VC per capita, the 2nd most publicly traded companies on @Nasdaq after the US.
This University of New Brunswick assistant professor has labeled the Walk With Israel event with its massive turn out a "truly shameful day for Toronto".
Since I have been quoted, I feel that it is only fair for me to comment.
I'd like to point out that anti Jewish hate is the number one form of hate crime reported at universities like the University of Toronto in volume and even more so on a proportion of population basis.
It is therefore discouraging to see this type of statement from an academic disparaging an event attended by 60,000 people, the vast majority of whom are Jewish.
So what should be expected from academia? We should expect people to relentlessly pursue the truth examining issues from every angle.
What it seems we are getting instead are blunt five word statements absent curiosity, absent critical inquiry, and quite frankly, absent balance of any kind.
It is indeed a shameful day for someone, but it is not a shameful day for Toronto or those who participated in the Walk With Israel.

I still can't get over the fact that the Canadian government is not ashamed by the fact that they are giving people money for groceries. In any normal country, this would be an abject admission of total failure.
Mark Carney is so out of touch with reality he wore a $3000 suit and his little Canadian knighthood pin and his wife wore Chanel to a photo op at a Food Basics during a recession.
And people defend him.
