60,000 at @UJAFederation’s Walk For Israel in Toronto today.
Love, love, love seeing these good people standing up for the only democracy in the Middle East, which is under siege from obscurantist forces.
Nothing can replace Jewish pride.
No challenge is too big for Jews with the heads held high.

This is an excellent point.
It's only been 6 weeks since the Senate of Canada released a detailed report with concrete recommendations on this exact topic. It's bizarre the Prime Minister wouldn't even mention it.
It's here, btw.

Carney has unveiled a new council to combat antisemitism in Canada. The lineup includes a former Liberal minister who is a Muslim, a DEI executive who is also Muslim, a progressive lawyer interested in social justice issues who represented pro-Palestinian encampment activists, an LGBT activist, and an Olympic speed skater.
Only one member is Jewish: Senator Marc Gold, has a long public record in Jewish communal and pro-Israel advocacy.
Seems like expertise in antisemitism was considered optional. If the goal was to reassure Jewish Canadians, this is a bizarre way to go about it.

@AlexNeve24 The campaign harassing Jewish schools & day camps through spurious CRA investigations is an attack on the viability of Jewish life in Canada. The fact this hate campaign is being amplified by former diplomats is beyond odious. Am embarrassed to have worked with these people.
@sfrantzman You forgot the National Religious. They and their hesder yeshiva student-soldiers serve at a very high rate and have been injured or killed in large numbers. They are beyond angry at haredi draft dodgers.
@IDIisrael@haaretzcom Also, pretty rich to say that the National Religious parties are aligned with the anti-draft Haredi parties when so is Likud, which is the party of the traditional non-religious, ie @sfrantzman's "middle Israel".
Per Haaretz, RZ & OY are actually more aligned with Hardal than DL

@sfrantzman Conveniently ignoring that the Modern orthodox/Dati Leumi community is serving at higher than proportional rates, and women's enlistment continues to grow
Goodness gracious. It is used in a pejorative way by those who see it as an outmoded institution, a nostalgic, sentimental attachment to a particular family. She wisely points to its virtues here, which have to do not with a family, but a long track record of stability for Canada.
