@ajnabieh @joshraclaw We are often at "epes" level with Despina.

@MooShuIceCream No more [not to be named] gelato place for me. @MooShuIceCream from now on! Hang in there and stay safe. #Ottawa has your back.

Here is a link the song I shared last night, an Anthem of Courage composed by Rena Branson, which begins: "We will not underestimate our power any longer
We know that together we are strong."

Just to be clear, that means that these people are actively targeting Centretown citizens who were just planning to walk around their neighborhood.

Protesters at Confederation park, right across from City Hall and beside the NAC and Rideaul Canal, appear to be building some type of wooden structure. They've also collected a stockpile of propane tanks and diesel fuel. @CTVNews

Ottawa Police Department: Ottawa Police must evict Freedom Convoy - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/fsm9DmL7JJ via @CdnChange

[Liz Bolton @rabbiliz]

"It is clear who is allowed to protest with state and police support, and who is not."

[Joy Henderson (she/her) 🇵🇸 @Joyhenderson78]

I had to channel some rage and frustration about this convoy into something productive. Many thanks to @EVYSTADIUM for always making space for our voices. #KarenKonvoy #FluTrucksKlan #Ottawa

American friends and colleagues: in their group communications, these "protestors" in Ottawa this weekend, ostensibly opposed to vaccine mandates for cross-border truckers, call each Patriots - lest there is any confusion about who they are and what they stand for.

[Liz Bolton @rabbiliz]

On the heels of Colleyville, and lest we need a reminder that hate knows no borders. #ottcity #Ottawa #Antisemitism

And this!

Can't unconditionally condemn antisemitism? Take in this thread.

Pregnant folks in Ottawa seeking booster shots:

My insightful classmate

[Reconstructionist Rabbinical College @RRC_edu]

A few weeks ago we spotlighted the student newsletter. This week we're bringing to you another highlight from it, the Dear Vivie column. Rabbi Vivie Mayer is director of the Mekhinah year program at RRC.

Sad but not surprising that this graffiti incident also involved homophobic slurs directed at Ottawa's out gay mayor. White supremacists embrace antisemitism and homophobia side by side with racism and xenophobia.

[Joel Harden @JoelDHardenNDP]

Appalled and disgusted to see this anti-Semitic graffiti desecrating the Ottawa Courthouse. If you have any information about this vile act, contact the OPS’s Hate and Bias Crime Unit at 613-236-1222. Hate has no place in #OttawaCentre.

Gayest sukkah? Decorated and filled with members of Rainbow Haven, an Ottawa group settling queer refugees in Canada. Here's to a time of massive global open-hearted welcoming to all who need shelter. Happy Sukkot to all who celebrate. @ReconRabbis
