Thank you Warren and Kari for making this impt documentary. I would like join you in inviting our PM to view the film. Perhaps after touring @City_of_Vaughan with Mayor @StevenDelDuca, who recently issued a formal invite!

As I told @GilaMartow yesterday, @StevenDelDuca has become the definition of political leadership in Canada for minority populations because of his strength of character. He has grown and stepped into this moment with decency and humility. Impressive to see.

And this is why some of my former Thornhill residents are moving back from Toronto to @City_of_Vaughan:

If you elected officials want to know what leadership looks and sounds like, read this article.
@StevenDelDuca is a Liberal. People may be shocked to learn that I don't judge people by their political affiliations. Mayor Del Duca is a model for all elected officials. He has taken action, spoken out, supported my community and let his police and council know what he expects.
Vaughan is a very lucky city.

Thanks for sharing, Daniel.
May we soon celebrate freedom & safety for Persians, Jews and all others who value light & life over darkness & death.

Hava Nagila! Jews and Iranians dance to the classic Jewish folk song in front of all the terrorists at the US consulate. Al Quds Jihadis not happy. @SalmanSima is.

I want to thank Premier @fordnation for taking action by instructing the Attorney General to seek an injunction to prevent the Al-Quds Day rally.
This is a critical moment in our province and country, and leaders at all levels need to be decisive in defence of Jewish Canadians who have been unfairly targeted and terrorized since October 7th, 2023. Anti-semitism and Jew hatred can never be tolerated or glossed over and ignored.
Doug Ford@fordnation
This afternoon, I’ve instructed my Attorney General to pursue an injunction against the Al-Quds Day demonstration planned for Toronto. Hate, violence and intimidation have no place on the streets of Canada and our government will fight it however we can.

As Mayor of the first municipality in Canada to approve a bubble zone bylaw protecting all vulnerable social infrastructure, including places of worship, I am encouraged to hear that Premier @fordnation is exploring taking similar action at the provincial level. And I also commend Aurora Mayor @TMrakas for announcing his intention to bring forward a bubble zone motion in his community. Residents accessing places of worship, schools, daycares, hospitals and other similar venues should always be free from harassment and intimidation.
Colin D'Mello | Global News@ColinDMello
Premier Doug Ford, asked about protection zones around places of worship says: We're going to look at that. Ford also says he’s asked the Sol Gen to look at crime cameras around places of worship and creating special prosecution teams for hate crime. #onpoli

Mayor Del Duca is right.
Words stopped being enough long ago.
He’s done what he can as a municipal leader. It’s time for others to step up.

@StevenDelDuca I would like to see all levels of government in one room collaborating. We need to ensure that all levels of law enforcement have the support and funding they need to properly collaborate and address hatred and violence.

You may see the Command Post in your neighbourhood as @officialyrp proactively increases patrols as we continue to manage the impact of global events and an escalation in conflict in the Middle East.
Officers stationed at the Command Post will be available to field concerns, take reports and answer questions from citizens.
Hate, bigotry and violence have no place in our region. If you are the victim of a hate crime or bias incident, call police.

This is an existential moment for anyone who wants true freedom & peace.

Iranian exiles in London are singing the Israeli national anthem, Hatikvah. They’re thanking Israel for killing the dictator who has stopped them coming home.

Huge crowd chants “Trump and Netanyahu, thank you thank you!” at the rally for a free Iran in Toronto.
Many are waving Israeli and American flags.

Sedaka in Hebrew means “charity.”
Thank you Neil for following your dreams and bringing us beautiful memories - ‘Calendar Girl’ was the theme song at every Sweet 16 that I attended in the 1970’s!
CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil@CBSEveningNews
Neil Sedaka, the prominent singer-songwriter whose string of hits in the 1960s and '70s included "Laughter in the Rain," "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" and "Calendar Girl," has died. He was 86. cbsn.ws/4l5JLji

As the saying goes, “words” might not “hurt you,” but propaganda has been proven to lead to violence. Looking forward to you signing my copy, Warren!

The Hidden Hand - out tomorrow - in ebook form, to start. Hardcover comes a few weeks thereafter. Here: amzn.to/4s9oDuL It's more than two years in the making, and this is the story it tells: "October 7th, 2023 was a truly horrific day—a day in which Israeli men, women, and children were slaughtered or kidnapped, in the most barbaric fashion possible by the Iran-backed, Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas. The attack set off a bloody war, with profound consequences for both Israelis and Palestinians. That much is well known. Less known is the propaganda campaign—the narrative war—that also began on that day. Like Hamas’ war on Israel, the narrative war had been in the works for a long time. It took, and continutes to take, planning, organization, and lots of money. Paid protestors. Professional organizers. Top-notch lobby efforts. NGOs, unions, and associations working together like a well-oiled machine. And, of course, messages designed to capture the support of legislators, voters, and the media." The propaganda war against Jews, the Jewish state and the West has been deeply evil and malevolent - but very, very effective. Online and in the streets, this anti-Israel, antisemitic, pro-Palestine, pro-Hamas campaign has captured the support of millions of mainly-young people - and helped to isolate and delegitmize Israel. I'll be doing lots of media for The Hidden Hand, and our related documentary, The Campaign (here: campaigndoc.com), in the coming weeks. I hope to meet many people - and I anticipate a lot of protests and controversy. In the meantime, I hope you can pick it up and read it. And I hope to meet you soon, to talk about it.

On behalf of the City of Vaughan, I want to thank Chief Jim MacSween for his years of dedicated service and steadfast leadership. Throughout some of the most challenging moments facing our community, Chief MacSween led with strength, integrity and resolve. Under his leadership, we opened two new substations in Vaughan, strengthened our fight against crime and ensured those who threaten public safety were held accountable. Thank you, Jim. Our city — and York Regional Police — are stronger because of your leadership and commitment to keeping our community safe.

Today, I announced that I have made the decision to retire as Chief of York Regional Police, effective June 26, 2026. It has been the greatest honour of my career to lead the dedicated members of York Regional Police, who put the professionalism, compassion and commitment to public safety into action every day. I would like to thank the Police Service Board, our members, our partners and our communities for the trust and confidence you have placed in me over the past six years, and for my entire career. Being privileged to work alongside and lead thousands of exceptional people, I am retiring with immense gratitude and pride. But I am still looking forward, and my commitment over the coming months is simple: Supporting a disciplined and seamless transition, so the organization’s focus stays exactly where it belongs—on building and protecting safer communities well into the future.
