@TheCJN Their “None is Too Many” book reminds us how vital Canada’s commitment to refugees must be. And particularly for Afghans and Ukrainians the country’s legislators must do better!

As a public historian of Jewish Canada during the Second World War, I stood on the shoulders of giants, and professor #IrvingAbella was one of them. So sad to hear about his passing at age 82.

@TheCJN .@ebessner @loughtred @sportsnag @philipjalves Great story of family’s desire to make a difference in a Quebec community while learning the ropes of the movie distribution biz. Who knew?

.@CBCHereandNow Yes, Massey has featured Joni, Gord & Neil. But no one commanded hall’s stage & house with as much grace as Laura Nyro in Nov. 1969. Thx to her magical voice & hall’s unique acoustics she captured the world’s attention while serenading each one of us. Never forget

.@ebessner @loughtred @sportsnag @philipjalves Movie cameras loved his villainous characters - Colin Thatcher, Windom Earle - but Kenneth Welsh was at his best on stage with just props and his command of Shakespeare. Barris Beat remembers. https://t.co/uP80PeW8rb
