Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and Canada has a lot of work to do. In some ways, we’re actually backsliding right now -- from residential school denial to rights-busting "national building projects." We gotta do a better job of defending and respecting Indigenous rights:

Someone sent me a letter saying that "being empathetic" is "how Jews lost the plot" and ended up in gas chambers. That was not, in fact, the lesson of the Shoah. And frankly I'd rather die with empathy than live without it. Hell, I'd rather die with empathy even for my enemy than live without it.

There’s no justification for shooting at any religious temple anywhere. It’s called terrorism. My cartoon in the Sept 23, 2026: www.thespec.com/opinion/edit...
An editorial cartoon from The Hamilton Spectator by cartoonist Graeme MacKay addresses antisemitism in Canada. In the top left corner, a newspaper headline reads, "News: Another Synagogue Shooting." The central focus is a large, vibrant red and orange maple leaf, a symbol of Canada, which a bright green caterpillar is eating through. The caterpillar has the word "ANTISEMITISM" written down its body in large, bold yellow capital letters, and the path it has chewed out through the center of the leaf forms a large swastika shape with black, jagged bite marks along the edges.
