UJA has been made aware of a violent attack against members of the Jewish community involving a weapon on Thursday, April 30. While we are relieved that none of the victims were seriously injured, this reflects an escalation of antisemitic violence across the GTA. Just last week, a member of the community was physically assaulted outside a synagogue, and a Jewish-owned store was vandalized in an antisemitic incident. There can be no ambiguity about the motive. These targeted attacks are intended to threaten our community and force us to hide our identity. It won’t work. We are resilient, strong, and determined to live our Jewish lives freely and openly. Toronto Police Service (TPS) are investigating this as a suspected hate crime and are asking for the public’s help to identify the vehicle used in the attack. We have confidence police will apprehend the suspect.  Anyone with information is urged to contact police as soon as possible at (416) 808-3505 or at 222tips.com.

@vcdgf555 If prediction markets existed back, then he could have made a fortune.

Happy 15th anniversary to this tweet.

Joint Statement by CIJA, @UJAFederation, and @FederationCJA:  There is a coordinated campaign to erase Jewish life in Canada. And it is not only being waged through violence and intimidation. For months, a veritable witch hunt across various channels has targeted all Jewish community institutions with the goal of erasing Jewish life in this country. Today, this campaign, orchestrated by radical anti-Jewish and anti-Israel groups, has crossed a new threshold by attacking our community's schools, with a clear and blatant intent to weaponize the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Fringe activists have filed malicious complaints targeting 11 of our schools across Canada, as well as members of our community. The goal is not transparency, but a blatant desire to paralyze and destroy Jewish community life in Canada. Targeting our schools means targeting our children, and that is unacceptable. Let’s recall the facts: since October 7, Jewish schools have faced real threats—gunshots, incendiary devices, antisemitic graffiti, and harassment. Instead of protecting children, these malicious actors prefer to put a target on their backs, using them as pawns for their vile antisemitic propaganda, which ultimately attacks the very values of our country. CIJA, supported by leading legal experts, is actively engaged with the government to counter this offensive. While there is no indication of elevated security threat, we will continue to work with Security Networks all across the country and authorities on security and safety. Targeting Jewish schools means targeting Canadian children, which is sickening and unacceptable. We trust that Canada Revenue Agency will reject this cynical attack on the integrity of schools that, every day, proudly teach Canadian values.

@CanadianPolling This is some crazy recency bias or the question had a limit since 1980.

@other_europe @EU_Made_Simple No thanks, as a Canadian I don't want to care about politics in Belgium or Malta.

Canada wants to join thr European Union 🇪🇺🇨🇦 @EU_Made_Simple

@Chiscringle @marewho12 That's the start of Peter F Hamilton's Pandora's Star.

@marewho12 I've read a couple of books where they throw parties for people who had the brass ones to do cryosleep before the invention of safe FTL. My favorite remains a book starting with a ship landing on Mars just in time for two blokes to walk through a wormhole they invented that day.

I could see that! 🤷‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@WilliamLaceyYYC It is good for polar orbits, unlike Florida, launches would not need to thread their way between Caribbean islands to avoid populated areas.

I love when people start to dig. Perhaps my favourite line in the article was “the MLS Canso spaceport, aka Spaceport Nova Scotia, consists of a gravel road, two sea cans, and an un-serviced 25-by-35-foot concrete pad.” There definitely are some things that don’t feel right about this, ignoring the fact that the equator is a preferred location due to the “equatorial boost” rockets get (earths surface is fastest here) Definitely worth a read. halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/eve…

Rocky, the alien at the center of "Project Hail Mary," is eligible for Best Supporting Actor at the #Oscars. Puppeteer James Ortiz qualifies for Academy Award consideration in the acting categories under current rules. His performance is also eligible at the SAG Awards, where puppeteers fall under SAG-AFTRA jurisdiction. However, he is not eligible under the Golden Globes’ current rules. variety.com/2026/film/awar…

@ATRightMovies It was scripted when the low bridge was identified during location scouting. Not really improvised on set.

The canal chase in TERMINATOR 2 features the truck’s roof being ripped off, a moment improvised on set when the crew realized the truck was too tall for the bridge, so James Cameron decided to film the roof being sheared off for real.

@terrynewman The rate of students meeting the 90% attendance goal dropped below 50%. That's bad but much different than attendance falling below 50%.

You know things are bad when... Attendance at Ontario high schools has plummeted below 50 per cent, as the province looks to reward students with marks for turning up to class. Has anyone asked them why they're not attending? globalnews.ca/news/11801587/…

@NoContextHumans Potatoes are easier to grow than berries.

Yep

This is either the stupidest question, or the most profound.

@RogueWPA @kilovh @sgodofsk The UK still had post WW2 food rationing when the first Bond novels were written. Having a license to kill is great, but an unlimited expense and travel budget was better.

If you read the James Bond novels the travel porn sections are like. "Room service, please." "Connecting you, Mr Bond." "This is room service." "Yes, I will have two pieces of buttered white toast and two fried eggs, with the yolks just beginning to firm up. Oh, and do cut the toast diagonally. And a pot of coffee, very hot, with a pitcher of cream on the side. " "Excellent choice, sir."

Holy shit, the hotel has a POOL. And a BAR! You'd have to stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Sioux Falls to get that over here.

Orion's main parachute has deployed. The spacecraft has a system of 11 chutes that will slow it down from around 300 mph to 20 mph for splashdown. Get more updates on the Artemis II blog: nasa.gov/blogs/artemis/

@blumhouse Reschedule and change the name of the movie. If you don't the bad word of mouth will make it flop no matter how good or bad it is.

BRENDAN FRASER IS NOT IN LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY

Interesting use of an app designed to allow people to listen to alternate language tracks of a movie while in the theater.

It’s happening! #ArtemisII is lifting off and Canada is on board. CSA Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen launches alongside Reid Wiseman NASA, Christina Koch NASA and Victor Glover NASA for a Lunar Flyby. Send the crew your support below! 🚀⬇️
