Any elected official is both expected to and mandated to govern and represent all of their constituents. Olivia Chow’s absence from a memorial or marker of an event that has so profoundly affected so many in Toronto, and continues to do so daily, should be recognized by the mayor. She does not have to pronounce “right” or “wrong” to the crowd, but acknowledge what a harrowing event had occurred, that she sees them and hears them. She too prays/hopes for peace and the strength for all to carry on. You (the Jewish community) matter. You are an integral part of our community and as a community we stand with you all. To not attend is to literally and figuratively turn your back on your community. Change starts at home. It is time.

(Chow doesn’t seem to understand she represents all Torontonians, not just the extreme left who ushered her in to office)
TRUDEAU UNDERMINES FREELAND
I’m baffled by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s continued loyalty to Justin Trudeau. He’s demonstrated again and again his ineptitude, fiscal irresponsibility and disregard to his constituents. Don’t forget his disrespect to women. Despite all this Freeland stands beside him blissfully nodding her head as he spouts his nonsense. Come on Chrystia you’re a smart woman. Get out of there before us voters dump both of you in the next election.
Tom Newell Niagara Falls, Ont.
(It is hard to comprehend why he continues to insist on undermining and humiliating her, equally puzzling is why she puts up with it. Some “feminist” Trudeau is. Freeland is probably waiting till next year to announce she’s isn’t running again)

CASE AGAINST HATE
It’s alarming, the rising numbers of attacks against our Jewish communities around the world. Many of my friends and clients are worried and fearful. There’s no place in today’s age for this. I refuse to believe the attacks are racially motivated but rather a desperate attempt by pro-Palestinians to put world pressure on the Israeli government to end its war campaign in Gaza. Both Christmas and Hannukah are fast approaching and it’s time for peace and reconciliation! Let us all pray for the end of bloodshed and for peace.
Perry Marinucci Richmond Hill
(Some of them chant at their hate marches for the “intifada” and from the “River to the sea” – that is racially motivated and it is appalling)
