PROTESTING PROTESTERS
I can’t even fathom why Toronto has allowed pro-Hamas rallies. And where are the politicians? If the LGBTQ or Black or Muslim communities were treated in this unfair and egregious way, the groups would never be allowed to continue their harassment that borders on terrorism. The Freedom Convoy organizers get arrested and vilified, but these people are allowed to spew their venomous hate with impunity.

SHAMEFUL
These protesters are aware that they can protest anywhere and anytime and with no repercussions because of our weak mayor and police chief, who, for some reason, are afraid to do anything about them. There is no excuse that they can come up with to justify letting these protesters tie up our streets. The public has a right to move around our city without being harassed. We need action now, not more excuses.

TIME BOMB
While everyone has their own opinions on the war in Gaza, the fact is that the Toronto Police who vowed to protect the marchers on the annual UJA walk were derelict in their duty. A man in a kaffiyeh had a grenade strapped to his pants. I’m sure it was fake. But what if it wasn’t? And why wasn’t he arrested for promoting hate? Why do the TPS repeatedly say one thing and do another? This was a dereliction of duty!

ANOTHER CAT-ASTROPHE
The Panthers beat our Leafs in seven games, including one in overtime. They easily eliminated Tampa and they had no problem with Carolina. Despite how bad we played in Game 7, if the Panthers go on to win the Stanley Cup Final in less than seven games, does that make the Leafs the second-best team in the NHL? Don’t give up hope, there is always next year.
