Now that some conservatives are on Bluesky, can we start some (civil) arguments?
It's all about anti-Zionism, not antisemitism, right? Seen at Bathurst and Sheppard on Sept 14 in the heart of the Toronto Jewish community. Not sure what this has to do with Gaza. This banner is antisemitic, full stop.

The reaction @jessebrown.bsky.social's post is almost as enlightening as the post itself.
Weird how so many Canadians upset about Elon's Nazi salute didn't say anything when it happened right here, in Toronto and Montreal.

If you hit 10,000 steps getting up to grab three chocolates from the cupboard that a guest brought to a holiday party, do the steps count? (Theoretical question, asking for a friend, etc.)

Eight years ago, a budding scientist gave a commercial airline pilot a gift that would link the two for life.
Since then, they'd met in person and linked up on social media. But when she boarded a flight a week ago, she didn't expect to see him.
Then an announcement came over the PA system.

Why are 'driverless' cars still hitting things? Depends on how they 'see.'
Real 'autonomous' vehicles rely on a diverse array of sensors capable of 'superhuman' object detection. It’s not perfect.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Thankfully, it's only anti-Zionism, not overt, straightforward antisemitism.
Months of the Jewish community raising concerns about antisemitism on Canadian university campuses only for too many to ignore or deny. The streets of Montreal yesterday outside Concordia University: “the final solution is coming your way.”
