CHOW MISSING…AGAIN
Sunday was the annual Walk With Israel in Toronto. More than 56,000 people were there in support, but we were missing one — the mayor of Toronto, Olivia Chow. Once again she snubs the Jewish community, as she has done before. She seems to skip many things to do with the Jewish community. It’s a sad day when this is acceptable. This used to be a wonderful city — not now.

(Chow has made her choices – as wrong as they are. It’s important to remember this when it comes time for her re-election bid. On this alone, she doesn’t deserve another term)
KING’S CANADA
It has been a long time coming. The King has finally responded to Donald Trump, and his reply did not come remotely, it was delivered from the very land of the “strong and free.” The condition that Canada must either pay $61 billion to join Trump’s Golden Dome or become the 51st state to receive it for free should now defuse itself. The message to our southern neighbour could not have been clearer than the King’s arrival and his powerful speech. With his words affirming Canada’s sovereignty, he has reinforced the nation’s independent path, signalling that its decisions will not be dictated by external pressure. His presence and address serve as an historic moment, reminding the world that Canada stands firm in its identity and future direction.

(It was indeed a strong and clear message — but have you noticed since the election the Liberals’ elbows down approach?)
CANADA ON ITS OWN
Are we Canadian or not? Having King Charles coming to Canada for the throne speech is acceptable? So much for the recent surge of being Canadian. We need to stick to our own identity and not be skirt-tied to the British monarchy. Time to separate from them, rather than Quebec and Alberta rattling the separation movement. No wonder they see no unity in Canada!

(The public remains split about the monarchy. But don’t expect any movement to sever ties any time soon)
