The body for Muslim police officers in Britain has branded Zionism “one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred,” described the Israel Defence Force as a “Zionist terrorist group” and defended Hamas against “unverified stories about acts of violence.”

I wrote about the glaring issues with SPLC five years ago

The Jussie Smollet of the “anti-hate” industry

Manufacturing crises so that they can keep themselves in business

Which expanded to infect Canada as well

Question is - what is Canada going to do about it?

A statistic you left out. Muslim police officers outnumber Jewish ones in the UK 8:1. The NAMP claims to represent about 5,000 officers. This number grows annually. Jewish officer totals remain flat. The NAMP is the fastest growing segment in the country. It is an inevitability that politically, the police union is going to move closer to the NAMP.

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

12) You have to understand that it's extremely important to the anti-Zionist narrative to describe the Jewish experience in Muslim countries as paradisical, because that puts the entire onus of how things are now in the Middle East on nefarious Zionism.

It's a complete lie.

Canada paid $24 million to help a Chinese company make baby formula and ship 85% of it to China.

The Canada Royal Milk story has layers.

Layer 1: a Chinese dairy giant built Canada's largest infant formula plant in Kingston Ontario.

Layer 2: Canadian taxpayers contributed at least $24 million to the project.

Layer 3: early planning documents show 85% of production was intended for export to China from day one.

Layer 4: it used supply-managed Canadian milk priced and controlled to protect Canadian food sovereignty.

Layer 5: supply management advocates defend this system against American trade pressure every CUSMA cycle.

Layer 6: supply management is a major trade irritant cited in the CUSMA negotiations.

Bottom line: the system designed to keep Americans out subsidized Chinese exports.

If you were the Americans at the negotiating table, wouldn’t this make you furious?

And as a Canadian, doesn’t it anger you that we ship baby formula made with Canadian milk out of the country while parents here face sky-high prices and shortages?

[Lyndsey Fifield @lyndseyfifield]

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.

As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.

But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.

After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?

Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?

Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).

Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?

The editors said it was too much, they explained.

The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.

It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.

And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.

Still fawning after all these years.

[Sciohn Fhanne @sciohn_fhanne]

I'll try to be very careful and sensitive with this observation of Canada, because it touches on highly charged questions of ethnicity, immigration, belonging, and public space.

But here goes.

I've walked around Mississauga's Celebration Square on multiple evenings, and one thing I've increasingly noticed is neither hostility, nor tension, nor conflict, but something more subtle and perhaps more concerning.

Public spaces seem to become associated with particular ethnocultural communities to such a degree that many others gradually stop showing up.

The result is not segregation in any formal sense. Nobody is being excluded. Nobody is being told they cannot be there. Yet the effect can be remarkably similar. A space that is nominally shared begins to feel less shared over time.

To be perfectly clear, what troubles me isn't the presence of any particular diasporic community itself per se, but rather the gradual disappearance of the sense that these spaces belong equally to all of us as Canadians.

When a public square begins to be perceived, fairly or unfairly, as belonging primarily to one group, many others instinctively withdraw. Older-stock Canadians withdraw. Other immigrant communities withdraw. East Asians withdraw. Eastern Europeans withdraw. People who have no objection to anyone there nevertheless begin spending their evenings elsewhere.

Human beings are, for better or worse, tribal creatures. We gravitate toward familiarity. We seek places where we feel represented. We retreat when that sense of belonging is lost.

I understand this instinctively as someone from an East Asian diasporic background myself.

The bottom line here is that a healthy Canadian civilization cannot simply consist of parallel communities inhabiting the same geography. It requires common spaces where people from different backgrounds routinely encounter one another and develop some sense of collective belonging within the same civic realm.

What I increasingly worry about in Canada is not "diversity" itself, but the erosion of sharedness.

A country begins to lose something important when its public spaces cease to feel genuinely collective.

And whatever future Canada ultimately chooses for itself, it should never, ever feel like a collection of separate worlds living side by side while gradually forgetting how to inhabit the same one.

Rasha Zaid is a Windsor based Aesthetician & leader of Windsor4Palestine who is using her skillset to run for @CityWindsorON Councillor in Ward 4, which is currently held by @markmckenzie519

A weekly protestor in Windsor for almost 3 years, Rasha Zaid has called for anyone that identifies as a Zionist, one who believes that Israel has a right to exist, “must be locked up” and that “we are not free until they are not amongst us.”

Rasha Zaid accuses Israelis, including professors, doctors, and other professionals of being “serial killers on the loose” and that “they must be held accountable.”

Rasha Zaid will also let out the occasional “Allahu Akhbar” and “All The Zionist Are Racist” chants at her protests.

According to posts online Rasha Zaid believes “there is no such thing as antisemitic” and that Israelis wearing “Jude” stars as seen in the Holocaust stage their own attacks to get sympathy from the world.

Given the recent announcement of doctors leaving Canada due to growing safety concerns of Jews, you can find no better example of those creating this environment than Rasha Zaid, who may be in a position of power to make it much worse if she wins her city councilor seat in Windsor Ward 4 come this October.

Further, she will be travelling to Toronto this Sunday to the Walk With Israel for the sole purpose of harassing the families attending with their children as they walk through a gauntlet of terrorist supporters while being yelled at.

Predictably Rasha Zaid has been platformed heavily by @CTVWindsor @CBCWindsor without actually looking into her digital footprint to see what her radical rhetoric is.

This is a Notice of Public Interest to the Israeli community of Windsor regarding this radical who is applying for a position of power that holds extreme prejudice towards their minority.

"An example I gave in my speech was, imagine if an Alberta politician had come here and tried to shut down your hydroelectric business and say you couldn't develop your aluminum industry anymore."

"That's what Stephen Guilbault did to our province, and that's the reason why people are so frustrated and why they lost hope."

Canada's uneventful adoption of gay marriage in 2005 ended up persuading most of the West to follow suit. Right now we're seeing the opposite: On everything from euthanasia to harm reduction, Canada has screwed it up so badly the world is stampeding in the other direction.

[Rich Toronto @rich_toronto]

I'm seeing a lot of posts about the council on antisemitism that @MarkJCarney announced this week, and I wanted to clarify something.

The Canadian PM, despite making a statement on antisemitism, in which he felt the need to reference transphobia and Islamophobia, did NOT put together a council on antisemitism.

He created the Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion.

If he was serious about ending Jew-hatred in Canada, he would have made a statement to the country, from Parliament.

If he was serious about ending Jew-hatred in Canada, he would have assembled a Council with the mandate of fighting Jew-hatred in Canada.

If he was serious about ending Jew-hatred in Canada, he would have assembled a Council that did not contain people accused of antisemitic actions.

If he was serious about ending Jew-hatred in Canada, he would have taken action well before now.

He is not serious about ending Jew-hatred in Canada.

And he continues to show us that he's not.
