Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan. George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British. Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events. And we all know why. During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way. They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin. And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his. This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin. This needs to stop.

Yesterday, I joined Prime Minister Mark Carney, colleagues, and members of the Jewish community at Holy Blossom Temple for a critical call to action against the rising scourge of antisemitism in Canada. At a time when Jewish Canadians are facing unprecedented levels of antisemitism, the Prime Minister stood in solidarity and spoke candidly about the crisis, and why no one should feel unsafe because of who they are, how they pray, or the identity they carry. He outlined the new and important anti-hate legislation and the critical new security measures, but just as importantly, he spoke about how all Canadians must stand together to fight antisemitism. 🇨🇦 Hier, je me suis joint au premier ministre Mark Carney, à des collègues et à des membres de la communauté juive au temple Holy Blossom pour lancer un appel à l’action crucial contre le fléau grandissant de l’antisémitisme au Canada. À l’heure où les Canadiens juifs sont confrontés à des niveaux d’antisémitisme sans précédent, le Premier ministre a fait preuve de solidarité et s’est exprimé sans détours sur cette crise, expliquant pourquoi personne ne devrait se sentir en danger en raison de son identité, de sa façon de prier ou de ce qu’il représente. Il a présenté la nouvelle et importante loi contre la haine ainsi que les nouvelles mesures de sécurité essentielles, mais, tout aussi important, il a souligné que tous les Canadiens doivent s’unir pour lutter contre l’antisémitisme.

"The stated mission of the boycott is to end apartheid, and I keep saying, what apartheid? My products are made by Israeli-Arabs, not Jewish Israelis." Seed + Mill, which makes sesame-based foods, is one of the brands that might be impacted by the new boycott of Israeli goods by the Park Slope Food Coop. The Coop voted this week to boycott all Israeli goods in a contentious vote. Another example of how these boycotts often end up harming the exact people they were meant to help.

Karen Bass just violated election law here. She is so accustomed to breaking the law with no accountability, she even filmed herself doing it. Well, those days are over. We just filed a formal complaint for illegally gaming the election. We must protect our democracy. Electioneering within 100 feet of a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. Soliciting votes at a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. These clear violations show a reckless disregard for the rule of law and our democratic process. Someone in a position of power should be especially respectful of our democratic laws, but this is just emblematic of Karen's mafia-like regime. It's "rules for thee, but not for me". Here is the formal complaint we filed this morning. We will uphold the rule of law and our democratic norms. Enjoy your conference calls with your lawyers, Karen!
