Antisemitism breeds extremism, cruelty, and conspiracy theories. Equating Jewish people with Israel's far-right government inevitably leads to antisemitism.
It leads to innocent people getting hurt, more Jewish organizations being targeted, *and* Netanyahu using fear to gain more control.

The Debate Commission should consult Federal Court decision where Rebel Media was found to be not engaged in production of original news content & not entitled to ““qualified Canadian journalism organization”” designation. Scared? Get better lawyers. Stand up for democracy.

Reminder that tariffs can be managed if we oriented our economy to helping Canadians rather than allowing people to make stupid amounts of money. The dirty secret though is that it's always about protecting profits at the expense of individuals.
