@FrumTikTok I believe Fooya is from Hungarian. Fuja is an expression of disgust. My grandparents z’l who spoke both Yiddish and Hungarian would always say fuj buzos which I think meant gross and smelly. I miss them 💙

She's converting to Judaism. Here are the Yiddish words she learns from her Jewish mother-in-law. **Language warning**

@politicalham @ezralevant We don’t need more hate in the world. We need more love in this world. Good night sweet Markham 😘

@dan_balaban @ezralevant Are you claiming you didn’t call me a woke leftist clown? Sigh. I’m done. You’re an asshole and not to be taken seriously. Good night.

@politicalham @ezralevant Not true. Reread the exchange. Still waiting for the answer to my original question.

@dan_balaban @ezralevant Your question was posed in bad faith. Know how I can tell? Good faith actors don’t start by calling the other person a woke leftist clown. You’re using Levant’s arrest to score cheap points, nothing else. Not today, Satan. 😂

Correction: Ezra Levant was arrested for being a performative douche canoe. Anyone suprized that they're already fundraising? Anyone? Bueller?

@politicalham @ezralevant Still refusing to answer my original question and deflecting instead. Pathetic.

@dan_balaban @ezralevant Are you seriously claiming that this exchange was about your “community”? This was really about me denying your claim to expertise you don’t possess. You’re not an energy transition expert. You’re not qualified to pontificate about future oil demand. Stay in your lane.

@politicalham @ezralevant Noted. This has been quite the enlightening exchange. Thank you for dismissing my point and our community’s concerns.

@dan_balaban @ezralevant I didn't miss your point, I dismissed it out of hand. Why? Because Ezra Levant is such a despicable, nefarious bad faith actor that nothing he says, even when there may be some truth to it, should EVER be taken seriously. He is your community's WORST messenger.

@politicalham @ezralevant You’re clearly missing the point. You’re so focused on criticizing Ezra, that you ignore the important issue he’s bringing to light. It’s not about defending Ezra’s approach to journalism. It’s about defending the Jewish community’s right to live free from harassment in Canada.

@dan_balaban @ezralevant Are you a Rebel News supporter, financial or otherwise? I’m struggling to understand why you are so vehemently defending a cancer on the Canadian news industry.

@politicalham @ezralevant I suppose your lack of response to my question gives me the answer. @ezralevant was arrested for being on the sidewalk in his own neighborhood. A largely Jewish neighborhood in Toronto overtaken by a pro-Hamas mob. Do you support them?

@dan_balaban @ezralevant The “woke left”? Is silly name calling all you’ve got? What the hell is wrong with you? Let. It. Go.

@politicalham @ezralevant You’re a clown and simply an ineffective mouthpiece for the woke left. So back to my question… Have you spoken out against the intimidation and harassment faced by my community?

@dan_balaban @ezralevant Are you seriously defending Ezra Levant to score cheap points in my thread because I refuse to acknowledge your bogus claim to be an expert on oil and gas? That’s pathetic. Get over it.

The elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is good news for all those who stand against terrorism. Sinwar was a malicious and sadistic man whose life was devoted to maximizing the suffering of innocent civilians, and he was responsible for the genocidal attacks of October 7th. Today brings some justice for countless victims and their loved ones. Hamas should immediately release the hostages, lay down its arms, and unconditionally surrender.

October 7, 2023 - One year on, words still fail to capture this day. My heart remains broken 💔 Hoping and praying for better times ahead. עם ישראל חי וקיים 💙🇮🇱💪

.@GretaThunberg I used to think you were an articulate 15-year-old, but now you’re a 21-year-old antisemitic psychopath.

This is much bigger news, as in it matters, than Singh’s statement today 👇 Aside: I think we can trace the end of the carbon tax to the Fed’s foolish decision around exempting heating oil. Lost all the arguments that day through that brazenly political decision.

@BrockWarkentin @bcshaffer Great to see it, but I think it’s ultimately a drop in the bucket compared to expected demand growth. @bcshaffer curious to know your thoughts.

@bcshaffer @dan_balaban Been seeing lots of rooftop solar, how does that play a role?

Alberta's energy-only market does its thing. Prices rise, lots of new supply comes in, prices fall. Repeat. (And no, this fall isn't due to any recently announced policy changes. It was foretold in forward markets long before that due to lots of new supply coming online)

As 1000s gathered amongst the graffiti, Calgary's Jewish community & our allies showed we will not back down in the face of hate. Thank you @CalgaryPolice & @RCMPAlberta for ensuring that our community was able to gather safely in the face of these disturbing threats & Jew hate.

@bcshaffer Amazing. I’d love to hear all about it some time!

Just emerged from the news-void bliss of the Westcoast Trail. 🏕️🌊🥾😊

Alberta has a tremendous opportunity in data centers and AI. With abundant fossil fuels and renewables, our province is well-positioned. Encouraged by Alberta’s proactive approach! #TechInnovation #DataCenters #AI calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
