@iainblackbc So you will spend all your time limiting the charter rights of the majority of your constituents to protect the feelings of a minority? That’s your platform?

When I am Premier, I will:
1. Bring a vote on the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism to the floor of the Legislative Assembly within the first 2 weeks of the next Legislative session – Either as the government or the Official Opposition.
2. Link Funding for BC Universities to Upholding the rights of their Jewish student body and all other religious groups acting peacefully. Require universities to enforce their code of conduct to protect students from bigotry and physical threats.
3. Immediately approve charges against Charlotte Kates and Samidoun as recommended by the Vancouver Police Department. Additionally, instruct the Attorney General to investigate other groups who have been actively partnering with Samidoun.
4. Adjust the mandatory Holocaust Education to be delivered in grade 8 and include an additional mandatory module about the evolution of antisemitism: From medieval to modern.
5. Provide additional funding to Jewish schools, places of worship and institutions to improve security, until the threat level comes down.
6. The creation of a Special Advisor on Jewish Community & Antisemitism.
7. Antisemitism training for law enforcement, politicians and public service employees.
8. Work with the Provincial Firearms Officer to ensure that licensed armed security can be employed to protect Jewish institutions.
Together, we will get BC back on track - conservativebc.ca/black/

@ProudSocialist @seastersjones Unfortunately for them, dying later in a nuclear holocaust is much worse than dying instantly at the start of it. So let that fact comfort you 😆.

Trump reveals the military is building a fallout bunker under his new ballroom:
“The military is building a massive complex underneath the ballroom.”
So nice to know that in the event of a nuclear war the corrupt politicians who caused the war will survive while we all die.

@DD_Geopolitics At some point, MAGA will wonder why the price at the pump isn’t going down.

🇺🇸 "They gave us, out of a sign of respect, 20 boats."
— Trump
This is a good example of Trump’s lies and how misinformation in MAGA circles spreads fast.
First of all... Trump starts by repeating the lie from last week that Iran allowed 8+2 boats, which never happened. Then he tries to take credit for 20 Pakistani boats from a separate deal Iran made with Pakistan, but that’s not what happened. Now major MAGA accounts on X are massively amplifying this, with some even claiming the US Navy is escorting the tankers.
None of this is true. Absolutely none of it.

@broseph_stalin @Dock_Currie He’s a “two-state solution” guy, so pro-apartheid. As others have said, he carries water for empire. The NDP doesn’t allow anti-imperialists to run for leadership, as @EnglerYves found out.

Apparently, Naomi Klein’s husband just became leader of the NDP in Canada. Is he good? (Canadians let me know)

@PawlowskiMario It wasn’t Israel that got Trump to attack Iran. It was the Americans around Trump advising him.
English
I see lots of MAGA and Russian footage here saying “it’s ok, America invaded Iran, and America also is supplying intelligence to Ukraine”. We’ll let me explain the difference:
Israel started the war in the Middle East and pulled dumb Trump into the war, most Americans are opposing the war in Iran, most of Americans are supporting Ukraine defending itself from Russian invasion. Simple as that
English
@PawlowskiMario He has to be as long as the US helps Ukraine with targeting. You don’t like it when other countries do to you what you do to them?

@HananyaNaftali The day he said “‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.’
Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.”
Then he was killed.

This is the likely path Jesus walked into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday more than 2000 years ago, and it still exists. Right here. In Jerusalem.

@samhusseini Evangelicals generally don’t consider Catholics to be real Christians

How many “Christian churches” in the US will tell their congregations about this?

JUST IN: Israeli Police prevented Cardinal Pizzaballa from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre today, as he went to say Mass. @LPJerusalem calls it a “grave precedent” which “constitutes a manifestly unreasonable and grossly disproportionate measure.” Full statement from @LPJerusalem below —— Joint Press Release The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Custody of the Holy Land Holy City of Jerusalem Palm Sunday, 29 March 2026 This morning, the Israeli Police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, together with the Custos of the Holy Land, the Most Reverend Fr. Francesco Ielpo, OFM, the official Guardian of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as they made their way to celebrate the Palm Sunday Mass. The two were stopped en route, while proceeding privately and without any characteristics of a procession or ceremonial act, and were compelled to turn back. As a result, and for the first time in centuries, the Heads of the Church were prevented from celebrating the Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This incident is a grave precedent,and disregard the sensibilities of billions of people around the world who, during this week, look to Jerusalem. The Heads of the Churches have acted with full responsibility and, since the outset of the war, have complied with all imposed restrictions: public gatherings were cancelled, attendance was prohibited, and arrangements were made to broadcast the celebrations to hundreds of millions of faithful worldwide, who, during these days of Easter, turn their eyes to Jerusalem and to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Preventing the entry of the Cardinal and the Custos, who bear the highest ecclesiastical responsibility for the Catholic Church and the Holy Places, constitutes a manifestly unreasonable and grossly disproportionate measure. This hasty and fundamentally flawed decision, tainted by improper considerations, represents an extreme departure from basic principles of reasonableness, freedom of worship, and respect for the Status Quo. The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Custody of the Holy Land express their profound sorrow to the Christian faithful in the Holy Land and throughout the world that prayer on one of the most sacred days of the Christian calendar has thus been prevented.

It has been 10 days since Hegseth and Caine last briefed on Iran. No CENTCOM briefing since 3/10, and no Pentagon daily press briefing at all. We learn more of what the U.S. military has been doing from bystander videos than DoD. Historic lack of transparency and accountability.

@StayGadot @KarlWuckert lol Someone stating that Christianity isn’t derivative of Judaism is traumatizing you? Go outside and get some air.
English
@Melloadee @KarlWuckert 2,000 years of Christian persecution will do that to you.
English
@StayGadot @KarlWuckert First, I’m not a Christian. Second, the original post is not proselytizing. It’s just stating the 2 religions aren’t related, which for some reason is triggering for you.
English
@Melloadee @KarlWuckert My only interest in Christianity is complete disinterest in how you practice your faith.
It would be nice if you matched our indifference with some of your own.
English
@StayGadot @KarlWuckert The only interest you have in Christianity is claiming that it’s based off Judaism even though Jesus had little tolerance for the precursors of modern Judaism. You took time out of your evening to make sure to make that weak argument. Go focus on your faith.
English
@Melloadee @KarlWuckert Why do you care? We have zero interest in how you practice your faith. We don't proselytise.
How about showing us the same courtesy?
English
@StayGadot @KarlWuckert Jesus was also opposed to the Pharisees, not just the Saducees. His death, resurrection and divine nature were more in line with Hellenism than Judaism. Which is why both Pharisees and Sadducees rejected his movement.
English
@Melloadee @KarlWuckert Didn't Jesus had to die in order to fulfill his theological raison d'etre?
And BTW, the Jewish leadership of the day - the Sadducees - were indeed corrupt. Sadducean Judaism vanished with destruction of Temple in 70 CE.
Rabbinic Judaism has been only game in town for 2,000 years.
