The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Custos of the Holy Land report they were blocked from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem by Israeli police on Palm Sunday, calling it "a manifestly unreasonable and grossly disproportionate measure."

Canadians who kept making this an issue everyday despite the fact that many governments wanted to sidestep the issue.
Thank you.

But most of all, a deep sense of thanks to everyone who got us here.
Quebec Muslims and Jews and Sikhs and advocates who never stopped fighting.

Six years ago, I stood on the steps of the Quebec Superior as @nccm_community and @cancivlib began their challenge to Bill 21.
But most of all, a deep sense of thanks to everyone who got us here.
Quebec Muslims and Jews and Sikhs and advocates who never stopped fighting.

“Evil will overcome good”
Certainly seems like the motto of our time
Maybe we should all not be okay with this?

NOW - Netanyahu: "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good."

You can disagree with Kanyinda.
But many I know are really concerned with political parties and approaches that seem to reach for the notwithstanding clause whenever they don’t like a court decision.

Conservatives affirm Québec’s right to pursue the use of Section 33 of the Charter in relation to Québec (Attorney General) v. Kanyinda, should its government choose to do so. Here's why.

In two weeks Bill 21 will be before the Supreme Court of Canada.
In this second video in our Bill 21 series, we focus on how the distorted version of secularism promoted in Bill 21 is incompatible with Quebec societal values.

The longer this illegal war continues, the more innocent civilians in all countries pay the price. I worry for all of them. I represent a large Lebanese community, and they are greatly worried for their loved ones in harm's way. ohchr.org/en/press-brief…

Proud of a mentor of mine and my principal Jon Rossall while I was articling at @mclennanrossllp for speaking clearly here:

Scrutiny and debate are important.
There is no doubt in my mind that critiques offered by MPs at committee have already improved the text of C-9, a bill that has had deep problems.
What is solved by trying to rush the passage of this bill where many unanswered questions remain?

I’m proud of @AnthropicAI for taking a principled stance here.
I hope that others in the space, like @OpenAI, @AIatMeta take a lesson for how the power of AI has to be wielded responsibly. Period.

Nine years ago today, six Canadian Muslims were killed in a horrific Islamophobic attack while gathered in prayer at the Centre culturel islamique de Quebec. We honour the victims and stand in support with the Muslim community in Quebec and across Canada.
Hate has no place here.

Nine years ago, six individuals were murdered and many injured as a result of a brutal and violent attack at the Centre culturel islamique de Québec. Islamophobia in all its forms has no place in Canada.

My heart breaks for Sven, an amazing human being, and the whole family.
Kirsty taught me how to be a better human being
And how to be there for people on their worst day
And how to be there for people on their best day too
With love, laughter, tears, and the rest of it

And I’ll always give her credit for her quiet advocacy to successfully stop groups like the Three Percenters, Atomwaffen and the Base, which I can tell you first hand didn’t have many champions at first without folks like Kirsty Duncan. (5/6)

I’ve been gutted after the news about Kirsty Duncan.
I can’t say that she and I were best friends.
But she was there like few others were on one of my darkest days, when the IMO Mosque attack happened in Rexdale.
