Majority of Nothing: Premier Ford’s Al Quds Performance Art
Doug Ford’s failed 11th-hour injunction against Al Quds Day 2026 was a masterclass in political theater. Amidst a global week of antisemitic violence and the ongoing Iran war, Ontario’s majority government opted for performative optics over legislative action.

Too Little, Too Cute, & Two and a Half Years Late
Canada’s $10 million security funding is “too little, too late” as antisemitism reaches a breaking point.

Tragic. Bleak. Reality. Another 11 Jewish Lives Stolen.
11 Jews dead (so far…) simply for being Jewish. I woke up to this horrific news on the same day my community lights Hanukkah candles. I hate that there hasn’t been a celebration—THAT I CAN REMEMBER—without fear. Tragic. Bleak. Reality. We have been screaming about this. Our leaders fail us.
