Join us tomorrow for our first Pay-What-You-Can matinee of MARY, MARY, MARY, MARY, a story of faith, sacrifice & rebellion from award-winning playwright Erin Shields. PWYC tickets are available at the box office on a first-come, first-served basis. 🎟 Box office opens at noon

The Toronto Star's decision to withhold the name of the shooter (Mohamed Mahdi) is a dereliction of journalistic duty. Toronto is awash in violence and lies against Jews. Every time Jews are harmed, liars claim Jews did it to themselves. It's The Star's job to refute the lies.

One of the more remarkable trends of the past 4 years has been the almost total disappearance of environmentalism from left-wing consciousness, and its replacement by various forms of anti-Judaism as the defining test of who is "progressive" and who is not.

Reminder that @avilewis, leader of the Federal NDP, believes antisemitism is just a "narrative" forced by the "Israel lobby" and that Jews are "cartoonish narcissists," "perpetrators," "supremacists" and "crybullies" who "urgently" must be made uncomfortable.

Thrilled to announce the return of Alliance For Canadian Musicals at @BeyondWallsTPM Theatre Passe Muraille as part of @Toronto_Fringe with EIGHT Canadian musicals, running June 30 to July 12, 2026.

#Exclusive: Tarragon Theatre has unveiled its 2026-27 season, which includes @katsandler's YAGA, the return of MONKS (!) and other goodies. Lots more on @globeandmail: theglobeandmail.com/culture/stage/…

@necessaryangel Well done . . . I’m looking forward to being able to read—and I assume—to see the cycle performed. Go for it!

My statement on Iran-related hostilities in the Middle East:

QUEEN MAEVE to Debut at Tarragon Theatre in Toronto broadwayworld.com/article/QUEEN-…

It’s time for us to recognize (as I think many among us do) this was NO Mistake. May have been written by mid-level staffers…but NOT a mistake. @JakeWSimons @KarenPollock100 @simonmontefiore

Constantly appalled by Air Canada’s service. This morning’s flight to Boston has passengers walking on the tarmac to board, after a 10 minute walk through a makeshift tunnel.

On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, also honor Israel's just wars of self-defense against those who sought to try a second repeat of that first terrible crime.
