@STHLM08Gaza @EvanDyerCBC Well, she (Mai Abdulhadi) isn't Jewish though her family ran the cafe in the Montreal hospital. To his credit, Peter Mammas, the owner of Second Cup, immediately terminated their contract. Haven't had time yet but will check out your other examples.

@STHLM08Gaza @DrJacobsRad It's right there, in the photo that started this thread and your "go back to Poland" comment. Leaving aside WW2 (!) check out the late 19th-early 20th century riots and killings that made Jews seek safety in North America...and Israel. Poland resonates.

It's not just a rock and it's not just a window. It's a broken trust between the government, courts, and police services and the Canadian Jewish community.

@STHLM08Gaza @DrJacobsRad I have done research, and one of the things it tells me is that extending the violence to make Jews in Canada--many of whose forebears came to this country to escape pogroms in Eastern Europe--feel unsafe here, will not help resolve the conflict.

@STHLM08Gaza @DrJacobsRad These are Jews in Canada. Their community has made many contributions to Canadian society; they don't deserve to be persecuted for the actions of the government of another country.

@annemargaretj @liberal_party So many avenues of support for the disabled closed if they can't qualify for the Disability Tax Credit. One example: parents can't set up a Henson Trust for a disabled adult child without it.

The majority of disabled Canadians can’t even apply for the tax credit b/c they don’t have a dr or their dr wont fill out all the paperwork. Even then most get rejected. The @liberal_party promised to get us out of poverty but even if we can get it $200/month is an insult.

@GadSaad If you're in Toronto, you could consider donating the books to the library's Book Ends stores (one is at the Toronto Reference Library, another in North York). They sell books and other media to raise money for library initiatives. Other cities may have something similar.

I took 18 books to a used bookstore to receive some minimal store credits in exchange. They gave me $0 for 18 books! Second time this happens. Does not generate goodwill when I’m trying to support them.

@pdrobertson The posting is for a Canada Research Chair which is funded by the federal government. It, not the university, makes the rule that certain positions cannot be filled by white men. If the university doesn't follow this, it loses the funding for the research position.

On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 800 (overwhelmingly “white heterosexual”) men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment went over the top. 68 answered roll call the next morning. Now their male descendants can’t work at NL’s only university which was named in their honour.

Students from Gaza have been waiting over two years to continue their studies at Canadian universities. What the Minister won't tell you - Canada could admit these students today. This is Canada's loss. This is Canada's shame! @PSSAR

If this is legal in Canada, is an organization allowed to post jobs open only to straight white men to? If one organization can exclude them, does that mean it’s ok for other organizations to exclude everyone else? Or are human rights in Canada now for everyone other than straight white men?

@valdombre Quadira Jackson is a credible candidate for the Liberal nomination in Scarborough Southwest, where she has long been involved in community activity and actually lives. Unike Mr. Erskine-Smith.

Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith is shifting from federal to Ontario politics. He has released a video appealing to Muslims, saying he supports Palestine and opposes "Islamophobia". "It's been amazing to see our Muslim community grow in the East End, and grow every year"

@Francisowai @KarenFactsLover One should not tell them what to wear, but thankfully in this country one is free to say that as a woman, one feels the hijabi-wearer is colluding with male control over what women can wear. All the higher authorities in their religion are male.

@KarenFactsLover Telling women what to wear is same as telling women what not to wear are the same coin. Both are violation of their rights.

How many of you love this kind of diversity in which women feel the need to either cover their face or their hair to hide their sexuality??? 多元文化真的是健康的吗?多元文化真的是好的吗?Time to depart Canada. Civilization dies when we fail to make judgement. #cdnpoli

@KarenFactsLover As far as I know, only one Toronto city councillor (Ausma Malik) wears a hijab. I don't know if she's one of the people in the photo. Maybe they're councillors' staff or other city staff.

@Mostafa09212 @Oceanbreeze473 In some countries women have to wear hijabs/burkas or are beaten or even killed. That's not choice. Even in Canada where there's supposed to be choice, a young girl was murdered by the men in her family for not wearing hijab to school.

@NancyJPM @Oceanbreeze473 What are you on about? The question is simple, do women have a choice in how they dress? Yes or no? No one is talking about being inferior to a man Show me a Hijabi woman that says she's inferior to a man what a load of $hit 🤣

@Mostafa09212 @Oceanbreeze473 The problem is the hijabs and worse, the total face coverings. They proclaim that they AGREE that women are inferior to men, who don't have to cover. As a woman who reveres the early female suffragists who stood up for our rights, I absolutely deplore and reject that view.

@Oceanbreeze473 🤣 If they take off their hijabs and dress like you, would it be acceptable? Or is their ethnicity the problem? Are they the wrong colour?

@GerryPg1750 @TPAca @TPACampbell @am640 @gregbradyx Bruh... if you clear them out of the ttc they're gonna be in the general populous where everyone else is. They should stay contained in the ttc properties like they are now. I dont think its fair releasing these unstable people to the public.

🗣️ "I'm not going to be polite anymore. The TTC is a mess." Our stance is clear: Torontonians need a public transit system free from crime and disorder. Real change is overdue and our members are part of the solution.
 President @TPACampbell joined @am640 with @gregbradyx and @hank_idsinga to urge action from the City of Toronto. Tune in now.

@connor__peters @integrity_to That is late at night. People travelling with children to or from daycare or older people going to medical appointments in the middle of the day aren't being troubled by drunk Leafs fans but by drug users.

@integrity_to Getting on the bus or the streetcar after bars let out are always problematic. I've seen many a drunk Jays or Leafs fan on their way home, making a scene or leaving their beer cans around. Except you wont talk about that, because it doesnt fit your narrative to sell hoodies.

The TTC Board has officially been put on notice. Thank you to all the good citizens and transit riders who came to City Hall to deliver their impassioned deputations to the Board. Stay tuned for Part II. ✊🏻 FYI - Commissioners Ainslie, Malik, and Bravo didn’t bother showing up.
