“A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada…” Can we stop both siding this yet? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The elephant in the room
Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

Was going to say that if you're more committed to Zionism than democracy, then I don't know what to tell you. But this is a false choice. Voting for AES isn't choosing between democracy and Israel — or even being Jewish. Bernstein just wanted to say he's more loyal to Israel than American democracy.

Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

The "Pacific Link" pipeline is now officially a PoNI (Project of National Interest). Of course, everyone fudged their homework to pretend to meet the conditions of the MOU to make this happen, and Carney continues to fraudulent claim this is "low carbon" oil.

Setting aside the fact that Quebec cannot abolish the monarchy in any way inside the province, claiming that they would "repatriate" those funds for social causes is pure horseshit. Any kind of elected office to replace the LG would cost vastly more than the LG does (which didn't get fact-checked).

It was AFTER Confederation, took 10 years of stop-and-start planning first, and the 1881-1885 construction phase went HALFWAY across Canada—just Ontario to B.C.—without labour standards or consideration of Indigenous people. This mythologizing of the CPR is in itself a mark of unseriousness.

Oh fuck off. It was not a "neutral takedown." This is just pandering to Danielle Smith's Big Lie, and is inventing whole cloth a history of federalism that never existed, and which provinces don't actually want. Stop pretending that this is actually helping combat separatism. It's really not.

The National Post is using language that seems wildly irresponsible and dangerous here Citing ancient “Jewish law,” it labels Avi Lewis as a “rodef” The ultranationalist extremist who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin rationalized his killing on the same basis: www.theguardian.com/world/2020/o...
None of this applies, however, when a Jewish person presents a clear and present danger to the Jewish community. When that happens, Jewish thought is much more forceful: you must prevent the perpetrator from
causing harm.

Jewish law developed two character sketches to describe such scenarios. The first is known as a "mosar" — a Jewish person who informs to oppressive
authorities, potentially leading to the imprisonment, torture or death of community members. The second, called a "rodef," refers to a Jew who is actively pursuing another with the intent to harm or kill them. In both scenarios, the law is clear that a Jew is duty-bound to step in. Protecting the community and its members is the most important thing.It was around then that Yigal Amir, an earnest law student, made up his mind to kill the prime minister. Later he would insist he was not swayed by extremist rabbis; he had reached his own decision that Rabin - through his willingness to cede territory and to allow the creation of a Palestinian Authority, with its own armed police force - was a rodef and therefore a legitimate target. He got a weapon easily enough. With his brother, Amir was working on the creation of an anti-Palestinian militia. Nor was access difficult; on at least three occasions before the rally, Amir attended public events where Rabin was present. He was waiting for the right moment: he didn't want to shoot and miss.
