Our Dad died tonight after a mercifully brief battle with leukaemia. Dr Frank Cooke was a teacher, Coach, McMaster Marauder, an intellectual & a proud Grampa & Great Grampa. Seems fitting that our last conversation focused on prospects of his Buffalo Bills. ❤️ you forever Dad.

@susanclairmont May I add compassionate, talented and an engaging writer to the list? 🤗

So far today I’ve been told I am:
1. a white supremacist
2. “complicit in child rape and torture”
3. an idiot
And it’s only noon.

@TheSpec A little confused about the point of this story. It's not an obit, just a recounting of things we already know about her. She hasn't died, has she?

After the Liberals trounced the Conservatives in the 1993 federal election, Hamilton East MP Sheila Copps emerged as a key player in Prime Minister Jean Chrétien’s cabinet. #HamOnt #Spec175

@PaulBerton @TheSpec I remember that raid. The list of names was the best read thing The Spec published that decade. 😂 And for the record I think the judge and the Court of Appeal got it wrong.

I’m troubled by the anti Semitism rearing it’s ugly head in the Green Party. Seems like folks just wanna be on the grandstand rather than win seats. I would never vote for a party so aggressively charging its own leader with some sort of duplicity.

@primroseannie Do you trust this doc? Given your immune situation I would think thr second jab would be a must, IMHO.
English
I had a long awaited telephone apt. with my doctor. She said I shouldn’t worry about a second jab against covid. She said I’m pretty protected now. I have auto immune issues big time. I reminded her but she dug in. What do you think?
English
@primroseannie Just toa be clear, my advice was just take $10. There's no point arguing with that level of ignorance. I agree, anti-vax and white supremacy are kissing cousins. It is a trying time.
English
@arnoldatthespec I was hoping you had advice. These are hard times that test my soul. I’m learning that anti vax and anti covid conspiracies connect to white nationalism and spawn hate. It is 😟 thanks for the advice.
English
Okay so my landlady is anti vax. She said that when I get vaccinated I will be contaminated and will be dangerous for her to come in contact with. Now she has cancelled my laundry privileges-She’ll give me $10 a month instead. What do you think I should do?

What can be done about this? I thought we were on to ethical investing. I guess not.

Tragic outcome from refusal to learn or speak the truth is that people die needlessly.
Hillel Neuer@HillelNeuer
I'm shocked to see below that Hamas supports and justifies Hitler's genocide against the Jews, because the U.N. Human Rights Council's former expert on Palestine Richard Falk—signatory to a new definition of antisemitism—always insisted Hamas was peace-loving and progressive.

Here it is folks. I was bracing for a resolution like this from NDP. The Canadian left missed an opportunity to be truly progressive on these issues & closed the door for a # of Jewish voters. So much for misplaced obsession.

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Passover. Here is a gift to keep us thinking. The faculty assoc. at U of Winnipeg held on to their insistence that antisemitism needs definition and rejection.
We must fight on as this form of hatred is a bellwether
