Interesting he left out the fact that he voted against the 2005 Civil Marriage Act, which legalized same-sex marriage across Canada despite his own father being gay. What a guy.





The American autopen strikes again. Defending the indefensible. Rousseau is rightly out because he didn’t learn French in his entire lifetime. When it’s a job requirement. He’s been earning over 10 million a year. In pay, bonus and options. When Quebec language laws since 1977 requires bilingualism and French as the language of business of the company for Quebec operations of the company. He’s been leading the company for years. When it’s a Canadian company (yes; Quebec is in Canada) when its head office is in Montreal. A bilingual Executive could run the company better. If he’s so great why didn’t he learn Quebec French? Again. Why defend the indefensible? What’s your point?










Premier Wab Kinew owes the Jewish community, and the public at large, an immediate apology. Speaking at the federal NDP convention, @WabKinew attacked U.S. policy by declaring, “Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war.” That line was an invocation of a loaded and poisonous antisemitic dog-whistle which has gained traction around north America over the past months. The idea that sinister, powerful Jewish elites are manipulating events from behind the scenes. When public figures reach for that kind of language, they enter the territory of classic antisemitic conspiracy rhetoric, whether they choose to acknowledge it or not. Jews have lived with the consequences of these narratives for generations – the content changes, the narrative does not. Premier Kinew used that frame in a major public address. That is profoundly reckless, and wholly unacceptable from a premier. He must apologize clearly, publicly, and without qualification. He must also undertake formal training on antisemitism, which B’nai Brith is prepared to facilitate, so that he understands the history of these tropes, the damage they cause, and the responsibility elected officials bear when they speak on matters touching Jewish safety and dignity. Leadership requires judgment. On this occasion, Wab Kinew showed a serious lack of it.

A large Palestinian flag is being waved on stage during @avilewis first speech as federal NDP leader. Solidarity forever. ❤️🔥🇵🇸


This is SCARY! Some Conservatives putting their bible to their chest while voting. This is coming from south of the border. Religion and State must always stay separated. 😡
