Recently ten lawyers and the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation sent a letter to the Law Society of Ontario to call on them to hear a motion to prevent graduates of Toronto Metropolitan University’s (TMU) law school from ever practising in the province. They want the Law Society to revoke TMU’s law degree granting authority because students at that university stood against the genocidal Jewish supremacist state.

Concurrently, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) “is lobbying the federal government to expand the grounds by which Canadian citizenship can be revoked.” According to The Maple, between March and July CIJA communicated with Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree, CSIS director Dan Rogers and Conservative MP Shuvaloy Majumdar on the matter

This vast reallocation of resources toward “defense” can only be achieved at the expense of social needs, public services, and infrastructure, even the economy itself. Accumulated debt is already skyrocketing, and further recourse to printing money would lead to hyperinflation and currency devaluation, particularly of the US dollar. The immediate objective is to fill the order books of the arms industry, in which US arms manufacturers would have the lion’s share. But the availability of military hardware, coupled with bellicose rhetoric, makes passing to action easier and points toward an increasingly violent future.

An arson at the home of Canada’s first veiled MP, who has been the party’s most vocal critic of Israel’s genocide and apartheid, follows on the heels of an assault by a Jewish Zionist at a Palestine rally in Montreal. Robert Moisecu shoved a camera into a photographer’s face, screamed slurs and uttered death threats against an Arab during a pro-Palestinian rally.

Mayor Ferrada, yesterday I asked you to make Montreal a part of history. Today, I fear your administration has chosen to miss the mark. Missing the mark of history. Missing the mark of courage. Missing the mark of greatness. Missing the mark of these Palestinian children, robbed of their dignity.
