We must question why the apparently only TWO businesses/residents who actually have addresses on the lane are stalling - or worse - are holding out in an effort to be "bought off" - hoping for a pot-of-gold to land at their feet before they agree !? - https://t.co/QReyLDgQhl

A ceasefire deal has finally been reached in Gaza.

Devastating images of Gaza have been circulating for years. Buildings levelled to the ground, tens of thousands of people killed, among them more than 17,500 children.

But we are grateful for a sliver of hope that people stop dying.

Canada must continue to call for justice in the region and for those responsible to be held responsible. 

We will continue to pray. To stand. To hold each other close.
