Joyeux #JourDuDrapeau national du Canada! 🇨🇦 En 1965, à la demande du premier ministre Lester B. Pearson, le CNRC a ravivé l’éclat du drapeau en établissant — pour les générations à venir — la teinte officielle de son rouge vif. ow.ly/7Cyu50YexN3 #MétrologieCNRC

Happy National  #FlagDay! 🇨🇦 When the new maple leaf flag faded from red to rust in 1965, PM Lester B. Pearson asked us to fix it. We set the official colour standard — ensuring Canada’s flag keeps its vibrant red today & for generations ow.ly/Ov3T50YexJP #NRCMetrology

Remember when the UN called for a ceasefire for Ramadan? Tomorrow night begins Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and the High Holidays. The holiest part of the Jewish year. Where are the calls for ceasefire now, as the Islamic Republic in Iran prepares to attack Israel?

WOW. So much respect for the Czech Republic for having the moral clarity and knowledge of the region’s affairs to firmly stand by Israel at the UN Thank you 🇨🇿 🇮🇱

“I have proudly served this country as a soldier, including as the Chief of Defence Staff for the Canadian Armed Forces for the majority of my adult life. I have been motivated to make my voice heard about the rising tide of antisemitism and to try and motivate other Canadians to also speak and declare that this is not acceptable. Our country is not one where hatred becomes the accepted norm. Where it becomes something that you tolerate every single day. As a collective voice, we as Canadians need to encourage our elected leaders to take the action that our laws demand when hatred has manifested in the way that we have seen it. This is about the values we must be standing up for and the country we want to be. Antisemitism isn’t just a threat against the Jewish community, it’s a threat to our democracy,” said General (retired) Rick Hillier, Honourary Patron of AFSC. The antisemitic hatred that has boiled over onto the streets over the last year is unacceptable. Leaders at all levels of government, in the media, in social and cultural organizations have a duty to speak out and to stand against it. Join us at theallies.ca to learn more.

Visiting NRCs clocks with our advisory board members…. Some of the lab books are older than me

This 14-year-old girl in New Brunswick is being brutally beaten simply because she's Jewish. When Jewish leaders from all walks of life, across various levels of government, repeatedly express that Jewish Canadians don't feel safe, this is the reason. They are not safe.

In honor of World Metrology Day, NIST is hosting a quiz on the SI (metric) units and their abbreviations! It will consist of 10 questions followed by a hint before answers are revealed. Start studying up on the SI units and their abbreviations. #WorldMetrologyDay #NISTrivia

Eden Golan, our fellow artist, cannot leave her hotel room in fear for her life because she is Jewish. This is 2024. I call on every artist to join me in condemning publicly this despicable act of hate. This is a time for choosing. Your silence is complicit. @Eurovision @macklemore

Many are celebrating the death of this young woman who was tragically killed during a burglary in Brazil. Why? Because she had the audacity to be Israeli. I swear there's some kind of term for when you want a person dead based solely on their nationality/ethnicity, but for the life of me, I just can't think of it.
