@MACNational Simply put, Canadians see through the ideological hate invited to speak here. Their record speaks for itself. We see through the deception.

It’s time to stand with the people of Iran who are fighting for their freedom✌🏻 So where is Greta? Where are the flotilla activists? Where are the self-righteous liberals who have spent the past two years condemning Israel on the streets of London, Stockholm, and New York? Where are the loud, ever-present humanitarians and social justice warriors? They are nowhere to be seen. Because the truth is simple: they never cared about human rights. Their outrage was never about freedom, dignity, or universal values. It was selective political theater masquerading as moral conviction. When the cause is not about spreading chaos in the streets, demonizing Israel, or posing with Palestinian scarves, the sense of urgency suddenly disappears. When women in Iran are beaten, imprisoned, and killed by an Islamist regime, there are no marches. No symbols. No moral sermons. This silence exposes the entire project. For these activists, human rights are not universal principles but props in an ideological performance. They show up where it brings status, visibility, and the “right” enemy—and vanish when the struggle demands courage, consistency, and intellectual honesty. Iran exposes them. And the silence speaks volumes.

@SeanFraserMP I struggle with this comment and the lack of accountability within the governing body that you're part of. CDNs have been demanding tougher laws, tougher sentencing and eliminating the ridiculous way that sentences are evaluated. Your team has ignored it. What's going to change?

A disgusting and cowardly act — Canada’s National Holocaust Monument was defaced overnight. Parliament is just steps away — that’s where dissent belongs. Defacing sacred ground in honour of the millions of victims of the Holocaust in the middle of the night with spray paint isn’t protest, it’s vandalism. Someone this pathetic deserves to be identified and held accountable.

@JustinTrudeau You've been "condemning" things far too long. It's a pathetic deflection to avoid action, to make hard choices that go against preserving a specific voter base in order to do what's right for Western democratic values. We need leadership. We need moral clarity. We need a new PM.

Our so-called “leaders” continue to embarrass #Toronto with their feckless #cowardice. Tolerating intolerance does not make you a martyr for diversity, it makes you cowards who have betrayed the people who elected you to uphold our laws & keep us safe, all of us—including Jews.

They want the world to know that Toronto is no longer safe for Jews.

@MACCMuslims Riiight....and telling children to wear blue because they're "colonizers" while shouting antisemtic comments is educational. This is unacceptable and not tolerated here. If you want to be taken seriously you need to be willing to stand against immoral acts. This is/was wrong.

I don't know which is more appalling: a terrorist sympathizer shouting to a large crowd that anyone supporting Israel should be annihilated and urging people to sacrifice their lives for this cause, or the fact that in Canada today, such blatant incitement to hatred and encouragement of terrorism is permitted. Canada has now become a nation where learning to be a terrorist and thriving on hate is tolerated. This is an outrage, and we must not stand for it. We must reclaim our values and ensure that our country does not become a breeding ground for such vile ideologies.

Check out this thread from @DominicCardy. This is what leadership looks like. There is a significant shortage of it today. He's clearly and with courage stepped into the breach. Stay tuned. You'll be hearing more from him shortly. A lot more.

So, Thursday evening I was arrested at a Toronto rally for chanting "Free Palestine - from Hamas"-while Hamas enthusiasts trampled an Israeli flag. A brief 🧵 My parents taught me - don't be a bystander. That's never been more important than this week, with synagogues burning.

@thehazelmae Bo is out. Manoah is out. Tiedemann can't be called up because he's out. Martinez just got in, but is now out. Springer has been in, but playing like he's on out. Kiermier's has been basically out. Vogelbach is out. Votto was never in, but is out. Atkins should be....out.

@whocare40080374 @josephdzita @BlueJays Your right, but he also inherited a WS-contending team that had generationally impactful talent on it. He walked into a dream scenario but I think the difference is he executed and put his stamp on the team to push it over the top. He's grown a lot since the Jays. Atkins hasn't.

@BlueJays You're on your third manager since Atkins took over and the story is consistently worse. Schneider may be a scapegoat, but the track record is the same. The management's 'process' dictates most of the manager's decisions and the culture that flows organisationally.

@BlueJays 2 for 13 with runners in scoring position. Same story, different year. Refusal to acknowledge or act different. The 'process' only works if it can be executed. This management struggles to pivot when things don't work.

@FarheenMahmood2 @juliedabrusin Fact: Hamas is a terrorist organization that kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered Jews on October 7, 2023. You can oppose the bombing of Palestine AND oppose Hamas. Showing up at his house is not protest, it's intimidation.

Remind everyone — which embassy, consulate, government office, legislative building is at this specific intersection in Toronto? Seems like the target is a Jewish neighbourhood, because it is. Gutless politicians say the words to your boss — not to Twitter. If you break the law you should be punished. Apply the law to everyone who breaks it equally. Stop emboldening the antisemitism you’ve ignored for 3 months. Start there. #cdnpoli

Due to public safety concerns, the Avenue Road Bridge will be closed. There will be no access to Avenue Road from Highway 401. Police are on scene to enforce this in order to keep demonstrators, counter-demonstrators, and passing traffic safe. Stay tuned for re-opening details.

@BeisbolCardBlog @beckettcollect I had high hopes when I opened a Todd Van Poppel rookie card when I was a kid. We know how that panned out!

@JGoldberg12 Something in the works for a trade? Assuming another team with financial limitations but trade capital would see value in Espinal or Biggio.
