Perhaps its best expression of Kahanism is the mass Sukut party yesterday at the site of the Nova Oct 7 massacre. While grieving families begged them not to dance on ground on which their loved ones were murdered, they did so nonetheless www.timesofisrael.com/ground-satur...

New open access paper! On impact investment, community foundations, and social housing We ask whether social finance can truly be 'social' and find that place matters! Community foundations' impact investment responds to local housing org's scale and capital needs in a way that larger funds don't

We took a behind-the-scenes tour of #UofT’s Robarts Library with librarian & podcast host Jesse Carliner, who explored the brutalist icon’s history & secrets, including the question he gets most: is Robarts sinking under the weight of all those books? Spoiler: It’s just a myth 🎧

We now have denialists of Israeli sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners shouting at denialists of Oct 7 Palestinian sexual violence against Israelis. And all of them hate the NYT and screaming "hoax". Despicable people. All of you

For two years, I've watched some Americans on the left insist that there is no way anyone in Hamas could have committed sexual violence against Israeli Jews on October 7, 2023, or against hostages in Gaza, despite Amnesty documenting it. Now I'm seeing pro-Israel people doing the same denial.

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

A sovereign wealth fund is a great idea, Canada should have had one years ago. But the devil is in the details. What kind of projects will it invest in, and in what form? And how will the public interest truly be advanced over time? Many questions to be answered... #cdnecon /2

האם יש מקום לשיח על פציעה מוסרית? לדעתי כן. כחלק מתהליכי ריפוי וצדק מאחה של החברה הישראלית והחברה הפלסטינית, שהם בתורם חייבים להיות חלק מהסכם שלום ופיוס. לאחר שהחייל הגיע על ברכיו והתחמן לסליחתו של הילד, לאחר שהילד קיבל פיצוי על מה שעבר, אפשר ואף רצוי לדבר גם על הפגיעה בחייל.
