@sophiaharrisCBC please ask the union: if 3300 CRA call centre employees have lost their jobs and 3500-4000 CRA call centre employees remain employed, why are only 5% of calls are getting through at all? Shouldn’t there just be longer wait times? https://t.co/4oUNbCNQxH
HERO
Not long after midnight on October 7, 47-year-old Bedouin bus driver Yussuf al-Ziadana dropped off a customer at the Supernova music festival.
A few hours later, at dawn, Yussuf received a frantic call from that same passenger, begging Yussuf to return and get him out of the hell that was unfolding.
Most people would think twice. Many would stay far away. Not Yussuf. He drove straight back into the line of fire, crammed thirty people on board his bus, and saved their lives.
Yussuf met today with Israel's President, Isaac Herzog. He told the President how his family are agricultural workers with strong ties to the many Kibbutzim in the Negev.
Herzog said, "I was excited to meet in Rahat an Israeli hero, Yussuf Al-Ziadana, who with unusual courage and determination saved the lives of least thirty young people that black Saturday from the festival in Re'im, including those who were wounded."
Yussuf said, "I am an Israeli citizen and I knew that I had to go and save them".
