Jews in Canada will not hide or cower, we will not waiver in our resolve to stand against these hateful boycotts. We will never stand by idly as Jews and Jewish business are targeted. Got a feeling that Aroma will be busier than ever next week. #BDSFail x.com/AntisemitismCA…

At a time when our political, academic and corporate leaders all too often seek to obfuscate and sit on the sidelines rather than stand with us in the face of hate, let's recognize and support @SecondCupCanada. ☕️

Tonight, the anti-Israel mob decided to pay a visit to Mount Sinai Hospital. I wonder who they were targeting? The patients, or the families there to comfort them? The nurses, docs or first responders saving lives? Or maybe just the Jews, because Mount Sinai Hospital, right?

Incredible scenes as thousands gather in #Richmondhill to demand justice for #MahsaAmini and freedom for women in #Iran, and an end to the repression of the Iranian regime. #womenlifefreedom #IranProtests2022

Let’s be clear, the targeting of the Avenue Road overpass in north Toronto by the anti-Israel mob is far from random. That overpass is a few hundred meters from a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and is home to multiple synagogues and Jewish schools. As the former MP for that

An absolutely appalling antisemitic attack in downtown Toronto, targeting @chaptersindigo and Jewish CEO Heather Reisman. This is the tragic new reality for Jews in Canada. Condemnations simply won’t cut it anymore.

The decision to ban the menorah from Chanukah celebrations at #Moncton City Hall, for first time in 20 years, while the Christmas tree and angels remain, reeks of discrimination. This inexplicable decision, made under the guise of separation of church and state, is being bemoaned

In 2019 we were privileged to have @AlinejadMasih testify before the Foreign Affairs Committee in Ottawa. Her plea stands the test of time; “When Iranian women are fighting for their dignity then take a stand & make the Islamic Republic responsible.” #MahsaAmini #IranProtests2022

As a former Liberal MP and Chair of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, I am appalled to see Canada’s policy shift at the United Nations General Assembly today, that directly contradicts prior statements from this Government, by supporting a resolution that failed to

Looking back on events over the last week w/ regards to Marouf affair, I’m utterly disheartened. Taking a stand against antisemitism should be a given & yet so few of my former Liberal colleagues have done so. This truly hurts. Jewish MPs shouldn’t be left to call this out alone.

I’ve heard from so many Jews here at home that, post October 7, one of the most stark realities is having people you know, respect or maybe even love, out themselves as antisemites. Colleagues, classmates, friends, even family members, the list is long. Whether motivated by

Late this afternoon, I had the opportunity to speak by phone w/ Mississauga Mayor @carolynhparrish. I urged her to condemn the upcoming vigil for mass murderer and former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, scheduled to take place in Mississauga on Nov 26. Shamefully, she repeatedly

Waking up to these images from my local Starbucks at Bathurst and Eglinton in Toronto, an area w/ a large Jewish population. In case your struggling to read the hate graffiti, it says, “a cup of coffee, you mean a cup of blood”, “stop killing babies” and “blood on your hands”.

This video of anti-Israel protestors storming the @PeelSchools board meeting last night, forcing their way past security guards and causing trustees to flee, is incredibly disturbing. We must not accept this abhorrent behavior as the new normal in Canada.
