It is Jewish Heritage Month and throughout this month I am sharing stories of Canada's Jewish history.
Today, it is the tragic story of MS St. Louis, when Canada refused to allow Jewish refugees from Europe entry. Of those on board, 30% later died in The Holocaust.

Mark Carney has a unique opportunity to remake Canada in ways his predecessors would’ve struggled to find the political capital to do.
I hope he takes advantage to build ambitious, nation-building projects to bring the country together again and get serious about reducing our dependence on the US.

What'd you do tonight? I went to a rally in Cloverdale to hear @mark-carney.bsky.social speak. It was a great event. Dan Mangan, singer/songwriter, said about Carney, that it is "comforting to have an adult in the room."

It’s a recalibration of economic control.
Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.
When the dust finally settles, they will own more.
The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

There is a systematic effort to make the word “Nazi” seem like just another insult wielded by oversensitive libs.
But Elon Musk is not just a Nazi. He’s Dylann Roof in the West Wing hacking America to be more white, patriarchal & violent.
Why it matters.
