@jkenney You’re seriously comparing the way Canadian forces carried themselves in Afghanistan to the actions of the IDF? Incredible the degree to which Canadian politicians like yourself are subservient to a foreign power.

Utterly pathetic. The left has become so infantilized, and so enthralled by antisemitism, that it is now deemed “hurtful” to be in the presence of the Ambassador of the world’s only Jewish country. The putative reason Nenshi gives for his humiliating statement is “civilian casualties” in Israel’s defensive war against Hamas, which executed the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and whose primary goal is the destruction of the Jewish state. If civilian casualties in a just war make a country and its representatives pariahs, that would include Canada’s role in the two world wars, Korea, and Afghanistan. Nenshi certainly couldn’t abide being in the presence of Winston Churchill or FDR. I have seen @nenshi attend @CJPAC and other pro-Israel events for years, including this Stampede. So I expected better from him. For shame.

@DianaCMcNally @NoJetsTO Keep fighting @DianaCMcNally. It's embarassing how mealy mouthed Toronto MPs have been about this attempt to bailout JP Morgan against the wishes of residents.

Today, over 30 Parkdale—High Park residents accompanied me to MP Karim Bardeesy's office. Why? To deliver my petition demanding that the federal government stop the expansion of Billy Bishop Airport, as well as be heard directly and face-to-face by his office — not just online.

@SenatorHousakos @MoedIddo @nenshi @IsraelinCanada I believe Webster’s dictionary defines this as gaslighting

Yesterday, today, and every day, I proudly and unapologetically stand shoulder to shoulder with Ambassador @MoedIddo and the great people of Israel - the only democracy in the Middle East, where freedom, human rights, and the rule of law prevail. cc: @nenshi

@MVdlJCardinal @tobi @nationalpost Yes the CBC is basically the wet dream of Joseph Stalin.

Canada needs to be thankful that we have the @nationalpost. I don’t know how they managed to avoid becoming a propaganda rag like all other legacy media, but it can’t have been easy.

@JohnJamesMI Such lovely neighbours we have.

FINAL WARNING TO CANADA: Manage your forests to prevent these fires. American lungs are paying the price for Canadian inaction, year after year. Sovereignty comes with responsibility, and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country’s airspace has not been met.

@BenSpurr Who are the donors he met with at the Fairmont last year (?) and what was promised to them

I'll be hopping in the comment section of this story at noon today to answer readers' questions about Bradford's campaign and the state of the mayor's race. Post a comment at the bottom of the story if there's something you'd like me to address. thestar.com/news/gta/brad-…

@KirkLubimov Everyone that claims to be "leaving because of the system" is just going for a bigger paycheque. At least be honest about it.

Friends of ours are looking to leave Canada. The husband is a specialist and works in our healthcare system. There are only a few of them in Alberta. He is so frustrated with the system and all the pointless middle managers and processes getting in the way of running a practice and just taking care of patients. He is done with it. He says its run like a daycare, completely behind on research and technology and has no idea why so many pointless people are employed creating unnecessary steps in the way. They are getting some amazing offers from the US.

@RedNeckStacy @alloverit727 @valdombre This seems like a highly probable story. And you’re absolutely right. We should resolve who’s right and who’s wrong by likes on Twitter.

Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas defends immigration at the Ismaili Muslim Stampede breakfast: "The newcomer to Calgary is more likely...to come here to build you a house than they are to compete for housing" "More likely statistically to come here and make you a job and start a business than they are...coming here to steal your job" "Islamophobia at this time is rising...we have seen anti-Palestinian racism"

@alloverit727 @valdombre Have you travelled to any of these countries? The caricature you paint of these countries (and people) is like taking Itamar Ben Gvir and having him represent all of Judaism.

@shayanthinks @valdombre Great, then I have no problem with you. Now why don’t you go talk to your 1.8B Sunni bros and try not to get lynched for your views.

@SmartAsiaFriend @valdombre Again you guys don't know anything about the community, since you're describing its ethos.

My grandfather insisted his sons speak English all the time - at the expense of later on creating a language barrier with his own kids. His phrase over and over: we’re in Canada now, I want you to be Canadian - you speak English! They did not live in their own “communities” and spread into the populace as much as they were allowed. The rates of intermarriage were among the highest of visible minorities. The rates of higher education were the highest. They worked with, hired, and socialized with everyone with no acknowledgment of race. They did not promote their own morals, law, dress, holidays, or rituals. You have no clue what an ideal immigration model is.

Again, you're showing your ignorance about Ismailism. It's a relatively liberal, progressive (and small) sect that interprets the Quran in the modern context. Ergo, some things in the Quran are relevant and applicable, others aren't or are problematic. The focus of the community is on contributing to civic society economically, culturally & politically and on helping those less fortunate.

No problem. Go denounce the problematic aspects of the Quran like 2:222, the “striking the wife”, how to divorce a premenustration girl, that bit about homosexuality. Repeat after me: “the Quran, while a great source of wisdom in some aspects of life, is not always applicable to modern life and respecting women, girls and members of the LGBTQ community, thus, it can be inferred that not all aspects of the Quran are accurate or should be applied” Bro if you can say that publicly, I have no problem with you or the Ismaili Muslim faith.

If the best you can come up with is that an Ismaili developer built an ugly building that differed from a computer rendering, maybe find another community to target with your bigotry? Better yet, don't be a bigot and treat people as individuals, judging them by their own actions.

@shayanthinks @valdombre This is a perfect example of what they’ve done for Calgary. Any questions?

@ShaneWenzel I am a Canadian. I can assure you it had nothing to do with the dollar. Everything to do with the President threatening us.

Come on, it’s the dollar, full stop. Canadians aren’t boycotting Florida over tariff talk, they’re staying home because the loonie’s been gutted by a decade of bad fiscal management. Blaming Trump feels good. Blaming Ottawa’s spending and productivity record would actually be honest. @JeffreyLuscombe

I've been fortunate enough to attend World Cup matches in both Toronto & Vancouver over the last 4 weeks alongside some of our clients (and potential clients 😉). After initially not being too keen on Canada co-hosting — I am glad we did. Toronto and Vancouver both did a fantastic job showcasing our beautiful country and each venue had its own unique flair. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers for delivering a safe, joyful, and unforgettable experience. And most of all — to Canada's Men's National Team for reminding us to be proud of who we are as Canadians. FIFA is a corrupt cartel. But the game is still beautiful. (Side note: Colombian fans are amazing) #worldcup #worldcup2026 #fifaworldcup #colombia #switzerland #yvr

@KaelVenn @BerntBornich I've still got faith in humanity my friend despite all evidence to the contrary

@shayanthinks @BerntBornich haha good one 😂 they have no interest in helping anyone - no money in that

Tomorrow we’re unveiling the most advanced robotic hand in human history

@BradMBradford Why would a councillor from East York, not launch his campaign in his own riding 🤔🤔 Beaches-East York: Chow: 50% Bradford: 35% Forum / June 23, 2026 Hopefully folks look into why he's so disliked in his own riding.

Thanks to everyone who joined us in Etobicoke tonight to officially kick off our campaign! I’m ready to offer the ideas and vision to make Toronto a city we can be proud of. Ready for change? Sign up to join our team: bradford26.ca/sign-up

@David_Moscrop Let the man run and grab some popcorn while he and Brad Brad Ford duke it out.

Is there some phone number I can call about this? Some sort of...snitch line?
