While many cannot visit Kyiv,
and perhaps not everyone will be able to even after the war,
I’m honored to be your eyes into my beloved city and country.

It lives.

The Fifth Column: How MAGA Is Using Alberta Separatism to Break Canada Apart Alberta’s separatist movement is not what it appears to be. Behind the cowboy hats and grievance speeches about equalization payments lies…

Behind the cowboy hats and grievance about equalization lies something far more serious: foreign influence, backed by the Trump government, aimed to use legitimate frustrations as a crowbar to split Canada and hand our oil, water, and minerals to the USA.

Canada PM Mark Carney says the US and Israel war on Iran is failure of the international order.

"The current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order." "The US and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada."

While in Europe, I had more than 15 media interviews on major networks about my book.

Sadly, all discussions eventually migrated to Alberta separatism. Canada is held in very high regard and they can’t imagine why anyone would intentionally weaken Canada.🇨🇦

Ottawa has asked Oman to use its airspace to evacuate Canadians from the region.

Spanish PM Sánchez on Trump's threat to end trade:

"We are not going to be accomplices to something that is bad for the world and contrary to our values and interests simply because of fear of reprisals... We have absolute confidence in the economic, institutional & moral strength of our country."

Ironically Trump has reminded everyone why the EU was started in the first place.

I hope this kind of thing burns away petty complaints about “bureaucrats in Brussels” on a small island nation I know well.

Thank you so much for your concern, Claire. My son and I had hoped to attend last night but as I’m recovering from concussion, I didn’t feel up to driving. Strange, even though we weren’t there in person, I’m as shocked as if we had been present. Such stressful times. Be well.

Just saw the coverage on CTV/CP24, including interviews with Rabbi Landsberg, Rachel Chernos Lin, police, and others. Will look for CBC coverage tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

I’ll see if I can find it online.

Excellent!

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

Zelensky said neither Orban nor Fico have ever expressed condolences to Ukrainians killed or injured in Russian strikes, only demanding Ukraine owes them. He said restoring the Druzhba pipeline would cost Ukrainian lives as Russia repeatedly strikes energy infrastructure. #Ukraine

Short message from Toronto’s Temple Emanu-el this afternoon, following up on a more fulsome message this morning, re the discovery that the synagogue was a victim of blatant antisemitism last night. #Purim

💯 Thanks for letting me know! We’re receiving good info from the synagogue but I didn’t see the news today. Watching #CBC Power and Politics right now, but as it’s national the focus is on Canada vis-a-vis India, Iran, USA, Israel, but not local news. Maybe later.

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.

BREAKING: The UN's nuclear watchdog chief, Rafael Grossi, says inspectors have not found evidence of a coordinated Iranian program to build nuclear weapons, despite Israeli and US claims.

"A stable, law-abiding Iran will help build a stable, law-abiding Middle East. But in order to achieve that, Iran needs not a new dictatorship but self-determination and a pluralist government that respects basic rights. Right now, the Trump administration is not trying to build one."

Also, almost everything he says is a lie. The US gave Ukraine far less than he claims, and has not given anything for a year. Biden did restart weapons manufacturing all over the country. There are still shortages of air defense ammunition, everywhere, because it takes a long time to make.

Thank you. 🤗

They want you to live in fear, to disrupt your lives, especially at times of celebration. Somehow in their twisted thinking they think they are influencing world events. I'm so sorry you all have to be subjected to this madness.

Thank you so much. It seems, thankfully, that the shooting took place between the hours of last night’s & this morning’s #Purim celebrations. Unfortunately, it has happened before at other Jewish buildings in #Toronto. Definitely shocking and depressing event.

OMG! How horrifying. I can only hope the authorities can identify the person or persons responsible. In the meantime, please stay safe.

Thank you, Brigid. I really appreciate hearing from you about this. It is such a disappointing time when individuals choose to use the current world political climate to create additional stress and confusion.

I am very sad and angry that this happened to your synagogue. Violence must not be tolerated.

Translation: he didn't have enough weapons to fight his war of choice and so he is blaming Ukraine

Not going to see this kind of thing from CNN much longer
