My sister Anne Golden's take on the woes of Toronto is featured in today's @NationalPost. National Post https://t.co/RLu3iVVeIB via @nationalpost

This little Toronto park could get paved over for a Billy Bishop airport expansion. Here's what locals worry would be lost https://t.co/1CbvL6AwOB

[Lake Ontario Waterkeeper @LOWaterkeeper]

Imagine if Chicago returned its waterfront to airport with jets? Today, the waterfront is the heart of economy & community. With 28 miles of accessible lakefront, 24 beaches, trails & swimming lanes, it is the city’s greatest asset.

We have to fight to save our waterfront and Toronto Island from Ford! Look at what Ford expropriated! Sign our petition at https://t.co/gtDDnus7aN! #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

What was the first clue? The Jewish nursing home that was protested in Ottawa? The Jewish day school shootings in Toronto? The genocidal chants in Montreal? Or the Al Quds Day celebrations on the erasure of Jews across Canada?

Also, an attack on a Canadian Jew is an attack on a Canadian. And an attack on a Canadian is an attack on Canada. 🇨🇦

Bill Maher:

“Israel is the Jews’ homeland and Jews have always lived there. You can look it up. It’s in this book called the Bible. Calling Jews colonizers is like calling Native Americans colonizers here. It’s ridiculous.”

He’s 100% correct.

@DrJacobsRad Your family likely fought to defend Canada and contributed to the building of numerous institutions - hospitals, universities, social service agencies - that serve all Cdns. Somehow this information has been discarded recently. Thanks for all of your contributions to Canada.

[David Jacobs @DrJacobsRad]

My family has lived in Canada since the early 1870's, just after Confederation.

We deserve to live here in peace as much as anyone else does. The recent surge in antisemitism and the lack of action by the federal government has been nothing short of shocking.

[Rachel Chernos Lin @rchernoslin]

I share the many concerns raised about the planned Al-Quds Day demonstration amid escalating antisemitic violence and I support the Premier’s call for an injunction. If the event proceeds, @TorontoPolice must enforce the law to ensure the safety of every resident in Toronto.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

This afternoon, I’ve instructed my Attorney General to pursue an injunction against the Al-Quds Day demonstration planned for Toronto.

Hate, violence and intimidation have no place on the streets of Canada and our government will fight it however we can.

[Jack Schlossberg @JBKSchlossberg]

The attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield is horrific.

We can’t ignore the rise in hate and antisemitism any longer.

We NEED to increase security funding for houses of worship.

I have been calling on Congress to DOUBLE funding for the nonprofit security grant program.

[Yael Bar tur @yaelbt]

Jews cannot worship anywhere in the world outside of Israel without heavily armed security. This is not normal.

@MacLeodLisa @disdainismyname @fordnation Ban it.

Words are not enough to counter relentless antisemitism in Canada https://t.co/kg9ClvdhX0

[Josh Matlow @JoshMatlow]

The Science Centre. Ontario Place. The Toronto Islands. Exhibition Place. Greenbelt. The Ford government keeps stealing from the people - and his friends are getting rich. We must take a stand. I want a province where tax dollars are actually spent on priorities, local governments are respected as partners and the focus is on you.

[Diane Wilson 🇨🇦 @wilson50]

@TomPark1n We’ve debated this before. Nobody wants jets. Our Toronto islands are precious. @fordnation seems hell bent on destroying Toronto’s waterfront. Ontario place is gone. Now this? Tourists and Torontonians alike love the islands. Keep it that way.

[Diane Wilson 🇨🇦 @wilson50]

Many people oppose this idea @fordnation. Ford confirms plan to seize land from Toronto to expand island airport #onpol https://t.co/P93P31867D
