Unilever / Magnum stopped Ben & Jerry’s from creating a flavor for Palestine — so I’m doing it
myself.
I’ve got a watermelon, an empty pint, and I need your help:
Name the flavor or suggest ingredients
Or design the pint packaging
Tag @yobencohen, @MagnumGlobal use #JusticeforPalestine to submit
Use your voice when Ben & Jerry’s can’t — to secure peace, justice, and dignity in Palestine

It is with deep regret that I announce I am no longer Artist-in-Residence at the Atlantic Veterinary College effective immediately. I've begun a collection of political paintings entitled 'O Canada'. The administration gave me a choice: remove a painting or leave.
I’ve just recorded my last contribution for the BBC after 39 years. It’ll be on the next edition of From Our Own Correspondent on @BBCRadio4 and @bbcworldservice
Now onward to new adventures… As my hero Marcelo Bielsa might say, ‘Vamos Carajo!’
BBC management is closing @BBCHARDtalk after three decades holding power to account around the world. Here are some thoughts ⬇️
‘I feel really, really cross at incredibly dumb decisions’: Stephen Sackur on the end of HARDtalk – and leaving the BBC theguardian.com/media/2025/mar…
@cathmckenna A wonderful idea! Having a discounted "Discover Canada" travel pass for domestic plane, train and bus travel (like some European countries have), would be a great incentive!
We should have the biggest ever Visit Canada tourism campaign this summer. We are an awesome, beautiful country that we are happy to share with people that appreciate Canada & Canadians. And if you don’t like us (as my Irish, very proud Canadian father would say) “Eff Off!”
Add sports to the list of things that a US-Canada trade war could affect. @AdamMinter explains why hockey is set up to take a big hit trib.al/0RUMEae via @opinion
It's National Flag Day in Canada today 🇨🇦. To celebrate the flag's 60 years, here is a postal 1st day cover from 1965 to commemorate the birth of the flag. In 1990, the designer of the flag, Dr. George Stanley, kindly signed the envelope for me. Happy Flag Day 🇨🇦.
Canada’s ambassador to the UN @BobRae48: “And by the way, we’re not the 51st state. We’re a sovereign, independent country. Our leader deserves to be treated with respect and we deserve to be treated with respect. And that’s the way we want to proceed”
It is time...for the most anticipated guessing game of the year!
Guess the opening date for skating this season, and you could win an official Rideau Canal Skateway toque, beanie or pair of mitts.

@stephensackur If anything, there should be more programs like Hard Talk in this world of increasing "fake news"; not removing them. You, Stephen Sackur, are superb at getting at the truth. I hope the BBC reverses its decision to cancel the program.
The outpouring of support for @BBCHARDtalk over the last 48 hours has been extraordinary. Thank you. We are proud of our journalism. And it’s great to know how much it is appreciated worldwide
