Ambassador @MoedIddo sent Prime Minister @MarkJCarney a letter requesting that the Prime Minister and the government of Canada halt the Nakba Exhibition from display at the federal Canadian Human Rights Museum, set to open tomorrow.
The Right Honourable Lester B Pearson, a great Canadian leader and an instrumental figure in creating the 1947 UN Partition Plan, countered this distorted "Nakba" narrative in real time by rightfully affirming that "A Jewish state in the Land of Israel, a national home, is a sine qua non for every arrangement."
After more than a week, the Prime Minister's office has not responded to the Ambassador's letter, which outlines deeply troubling concerns for the shared values between Canada and Israel and the hate this exhibit will ultimately breed, expressed moreover by the Canadian Jewish community.

I drove over to Canada yesterday for some sightseeing. My wife and I pulled up to the Canadian crossing station. The agent at the window was really nice and all smiles as he asked us the typical questions and put our information in the computer.
Then, he saw something on the screen. His facial expression went blank. He looked down at my passport. Looked back at the screen. Back at the passport. Back at the screen. No more smiles. Straight face.
He told me to pull around for an inspection.
My wife and I got out and three officers searched every square inch of my truck. They found nothing and sent us on our way.
Iโm still on a list from J6. And, that list is apparently shared with other countries.
A message from the founder of Track Ukraine about why you need to call your congressperson about Ukraine today.
We cannot look away from what Russia is doing. Pick up the phone right now and let your representative know that you won't tolerate congress abandoning Ukraine๐บ๐ฆ๐ค๐บ๐ธ
@JakeLandauTO@JasperQLee Tbh I think thats exactly why they shouldnt get it
Its not the PM nor official oppositions house, it belongs to Canada, give it to the PM instead and let OO find their own place
One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.โCanada trade.
The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).
The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.
Here's the story:
For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it โ six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. Itโs a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.
So why isn't it open?
Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesnโt want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.
In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.
It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.
Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires โ holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.
So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.
Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.
@Rx410 Kinda same w Theresa May too tbh
A successful Brexit just wasnโt possible, May was fucked either way there, and heโs def not perfect but is overhated and the stuff Kier needs to do to fix the UK will take a while and be unpopular, like canning the triple lock
RIGHT NOW ๐จ MOSCOW, Zelensky is targeting civilian infrastructure in Moscow, including energy sector.
There will be a massive retaliation from Moscow towards Kiev. This all the fault of NATO's meddling in Ukraine in 2014, breaching the Warsaw pact.
