A lot of people don't know this but Stephen Harper's government covered up his death and made it sound like an accident because they didn't want to embarrass Israel.
Premier Ford justifies spending millions of taxpayers dollars on ‘Protect Ontario’ ads: “if we don’t inform people, the only choice they have is to listen to the media.”

Liberals have violated workers’ Charter right to strike, refused to take action on unpaid work in the airline sector & are scheming behind closed doors to weaken unions’ collective bargaining position. Meanwhile, unemployment is high and workers are struggling to make ends meet.
Fifteen months into Prime Minister Mark Carney’s tenure, union insiders, labour activists and lobbyists say that the Prime Minister’s Office displays a stark lack of interest in worker issues, Vanmala Subramaniam reports.
Mr. Carney’s inner circle rarely takes meetings with unions and does not sufficiently involve labour voices in consultations on important policy issues, according to 14 sources The Globe spoke to with first-hand knowledge of how the Prime Minister, his office and certain ministries have been engaging with unions over the past 15 months.
When it comes to labour relations, the tone coming out of the PMO is one of indifference, say the sources, who include senior leaders in both public sector and private sector unions, and labour policy experts who have been involved in consultations on workers’ issues both in the Carney government and under his predecessor Justin Trudeau.
Many of the sources said they believe the Prime Minister views unions as a footnote in the overall management of the country, and that his government prefers to move quickly rather than bring more voices to the table. The Globe is not identifying the sources so they could speak freely on their relationship with government.
There have been a series of concrete actions that have chafed the labour community.
Here is what actually happened in Montreal: A gunman opened fire on police outside a hotel in Côte-des-Neiges. He killed Const. Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, seriously wounded another officer and was then shot dead by police.
Michel Mizrahi, a 68-year-old civilian, was caught in the crossfire. The investigation into whose bullet killed him remains ongoing.
Authorities concluded that this was not a terrorist attack. Police indicated that Montreal’s Jewish community and Chabad were not deliberately targeted. The gunman reportedly left behind a manifesto steeped in incel grievance, misogyny and hostility toward police.
You would know none of that from these posts.
@LizzySavetsky announced that a Jewish man had been “murdered by a terrorist.” @RabbiPoupko declared that “terror struck” a Jewish neighbourhood. @Saul_Sadka went further and simply invented that Chabad had been targeted, then blamed “IRGC propagandists.”
They straight lied.
They took the fact that Mizrahi was Jewish and died near Jewish institutions, then manufactured the rest: the target, the motive and the political enemy.
They wanted an 'Islamist' terror story. They wanted a Muslim, Palestinian or Iranian villain they could blame before anyone even knew what had happened.
Why are these people so thirsty to portray their own community as the target of murderous violence?
Because the imagined attack gives them political ammunition. It allows them to inflame Jewish fear, demonize Muslims and Palestinians, and smear their ideological enemies—all while pretending to speak in the language of grief
Diabolical.

A UN commission has found that Israel is committing genocide through a "deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children".
The truth always comes out in the end — and we must never, ever let it be forgotten.
PabloReports: Do you think a reset is possible with Israel while Netanyahu is still PM?
Khanna: No. A reset is not possible while there is still occupation. It’s not just Netanyahu. You have a country that has apartheid. Until that situation is resolved and human rights are recognized, there will not be the kind of reset that you are talking about.
.@ZohranKMamdani actively helping populist anti-establishment candidates in primaries is the opposite of what @BarackObama did 20 years ago.
The contrast reflects the differences between them - and shows how we're (finally) in a new political era.
This is from 20 years ago👇
Journalist asks Minister Diab if being "a landlord with 14 rental units" is a conflict of interest and if the Carney cabinet has an "unacknowledged bias".
"Not a single one of your cabinet colleagues are currently a renter or a tenant"
Canadians (correctly) looking enviously to Mamdani's victories need to realize we only do the same by defeating Liberal MPs and replacing them with NDP MPs led by @avilewis
Yep, must be "genuinely scary" for the Jewish residents of New York's 10th, one of the most Jewish districts in America, who voted tonight to replace a pro-genocide Jewish congressman with an anti-genocide Jewish congressman.

Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank, an independent UN inquiry says https://t.co/C2z0FoxakE
"The hardest decision we had to make in completing this report was.. not to name the Palestinian children, whose deaths, injuries & suffering we describe.. we didn't name them because we feared the consequences for their families"
He means Israel would go after them too.
My family and I are exposed to all sorts of threats, restrictions and hateful rethoric.
Yet we would say and do everything we have said and done against the genocide, its ideologues and profiteers, again and again.
Forever proud to stand on the side of Justice.
“What she did…was to make me think why capitalism is not only efficient and practical, but also moral” - Alan Greenspan, speaking about his guru Ayn Rand in 1974.
It's worth understanding the role that this partnership played in unleashing the savageries of the modern market.
When Greenspan was still working in the corporate sector, Rand’s ideas about the “utopia of greed” infused him with a powerful sense of mission: apparently, making money wasn’t just good for him - it was good for society as a whole.
As for those who got trampled? Rand helped with that too: “Parasites who persistently avoid either purpose or reason perish as they should,” Greenspan wrote.
This mindset served him well as Fed Chair, where he supported shock therapy in Russia (72 million impoverished) and in East Asia after the 1997 economic crisis (24 million pushed into unemployment). Not to mention attacks on welfare and trade unions in the U.S....
JD Vance, with his tight concentric circles of "love," is just the latest manifestation of this worldview.
#Israeli authorities & security forces have deliberately targeted #Palestinian children resulting in #genocide, crimes against humanity & war crimes, the @UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory & Israel says in new report. #HRC62
