When I was a young university student, I wrote Prime Minister Chretien a letter, and left my phone number at the bottom. One morning, he called to say hello. It was the start of many years’ worth of conversations. I so value his wisdom and any moment I get to spend with him.
In Winnipeg to meet with the ✡️community. Kicked off this morning with Winnipeg Jewish Organizational Leaders engaging on addressing antisemitism - and underlying attitudes that promote it - in our schools & institutions. Meeting w/community across 🇨🇦guides my office’s work.
We love to share support from around the world. In Winnipeg everyone is united and braving the cold on the legislature lawn to #BringThemHome. 🇨🇦🇮🇱 📷 @jewishwinnipeg
We are seeing increases in both Islamophobia and Antisemitism in Canada. My riding is home to the largest Jewish population in Manitoba. They have been the primary target of hate crimes recently. I am sharing the open letter I’ve written them in the wake of these incidents.
While I wish this could have been done more quickly I am very glad that Canada has now confirmed that with a high degree of confidence Israel did not strike the hospital. I hope everyone who imputed blame to Israel will no longer jump to conclusions before the facts are in.
Analysis conducted independently by the @CanadianForces Intelligence Command indicates with a high degree of confidence that Israel did not strike the hospital on October 17, 2023. The more likely scenario is that the strike was caused by an errant rocket fired from Gaza.
Earlier today, we shared a message on social media that raised great concern regarding the situation in the Middle East. We respect and appreciate the prompt feedback received. It led us to remove the post and replace it. /2
WPS is aware of the impact that world events are having on our local communities. As a result, police presence will be increased at places of worship, schools, mosques, and synagogues which have been affected by the Middle East conflict. winnipeg.ca/news/2023-10-1…
Critically important update on our government’s support to get Canadians out of the region safely.
Last night we gathered as a community to grieve and honour the memory of Jews whose lives were barbarically cut short by terrorists. I was deeply honoured to speak. Click on the link to view my remarks. instagram.com/reel/CyQzcnngT…
We must be able to live in a world where we can long for peace, while at the same time condemning in the strongest of terms, the rape, kidnapping, and murder of children, women, and the elderly, without needing to insert a “but” at the end of that statement.
