OFF THE MARK
CUPE Ontario’s latest missive regarding its political stances against Jews is totally way off the mark. CUPE’s problem is not its ideologies, it’s the leader, Fred Hahn. Any workers’ union ought to focus only on wage and benefits packages for their members, not politics. A union’s credibility rests with its ability to negotiate responsible demands with its employer, not in its stupid and racist comments about Jews or other individuals.

AXE TO GRIND
This is the catastrophic result when union leaders are chosen from minorities who have an axe to grind. It all seems “right and just” at the time, but these ideological fanatics are more and more emboldened to push ignorant radical left theories like the racist, divisive DEI, all resulting of course in a resurrection of the centuries old cry ‘from the river to the sea.” Ignorant bloodthirsty mobs have clogged our city streets and various university campuses wearing the scurrilous Islamic keffiyeh, screaming “death to the Jews” and supporting terrorist butchers like Hamas and Hezbollah. As an LGBTQ advocate, primarily elected because of his “queerness,” Fred Hahn has been leader of CUPE for decades and, as a radical left political advocate, has predictably morphed into an angry, selfish, power-hungry despot.

COLD SHOULDER
I’d like to thank Coldplay frontman Chris Martin for thanking the audience at the Rogers Stadium for simply managing to get to “this weird stadium in the middle of nowhere.” Toronto is earning its reputation as being the worst city in North America to drive a car in — and public transit is not much better.
