Québec a de nouveau invoqué la disposition dérogatoire de manière préventif. Si vous ne vous soucierez pas de la façon dont il est utilisé dans ce cas, vous vous soucierez où il sera utilisé pour porter atteinte de façon déraisonnable à un droit qui vous tient à cœur.

Today the Quebec legislature once again preemptively used the notwithstanding clause. A friendly reminder. You may not care how it is used in one case but you will care when it is used the next time to unreasonably infringe on a right you care about.

I have served with @PamDamoff for almost 9 years. She has unfailingly been caring, competent & hard working. She has made the Canadian Parliament better and her decision to not run again is a true loss to our politics.

Jewish Heritage Month starts today as we celebrate Jewish contributions to Canada. I am calling on all governments, universities and businesses to use this month to review their diversity, equity and inclusion programs to ensure that Jews are included equal to other minorities.

There can be no better collaborator to take on Jew-hate with than @DeborahLyonsSE . Together, with the help of Canadians from all faiths we will make a difference. Il n’y a pas de place pour l’antisémitisme au Canada.

Today is the first day of Jewish Heritage Month. To mark this date, @AHousefather and I met to discuss the concrete measures we’ll be taking to combat the rampant Jew-hate in this country. Aujourd’hui, c’est le premier jour du Mois du patrimoine juif. Pour marquer cette date,…

The notwithstanding clause has been in the Charter for 42 years and has never been used by the federal Parliament. I hope a few years from now I can still make this statement.

Very pleased to see the clear statement by @JustinTrudeau making clear how Jewish students are feeling at McGill & other campuses. Je suis très heureux de voir la déclaration claire de PM sur comment les étudiants juifs se sentent à McGill et sur d’autres campus.

This morning @mcgillu has advised that they have requested police assistance. I am hopeful the skillful @SPVM police will work with the administration to resolve the situation ensuring everyone’s security and well being.

Latest from @mcgillu is efforts to resolve the situation through dialogue have been unsuccessful culminating in the emergence of disturbing antisemitic rhetoric. McGill has moved to next steps of its procedure as there are threats to security & hateful rhetoric flagrantly used.

In its latest statement @mcgillu advises the encampment has tripled & that many, if not the majority are not from McGill. It also condemns the unequivocally antisemitic language & intimidation occurring. McGill leadership is meeting now on next steps. I hope for swift action.

I call on the @mcgillu administration to act. Final exams are coming up and all students need to feel safe on campus.

Encampments are a violation of university policy. City police are municipal & universities fall under provincial jurisdiction. I call upon university administrators, police (and if needed provincial governments) to act. We can’t allow what is happening in the US to happen here.

Canada has joined the US and UK in imposing new sanctions against Iran. The Iranian regime is the world’s biggest state sponsor of terror. I applaud these sanctions & again call on the government to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization.

It was important and encouraging to hear this statement from the Prime Minister in response to a question about the hateful, violent language that he and so many of us condemned over the weekend: “we have laws against hate speech, against incitement to violence, and we expect…

I have met Rachel and Jonathan on a number of occasions as they have worked non stop for the release of Hersh & all the hostages. I pray for them, all the hostage families & the hostages themselves. The war started with HAMAS’s brutal murder & kidnapping. Never forget this.

The Goldberg-Polin family has given permission for the propaganda video released by the Hamas jihadi death cult to be shared. They want the world to see the horrors their beloved Hersh has endured. He was abducted from the Nova music festival on October 7 after his arm was blown…

200 days since the world changed. 200 days since incidents of antisemitism have grown to record highs in Canada and around the world. And 200 days of brutal captivity for the hostages kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. There is not a meeting or event I attend where I don’t talk about…

Ayant vu une vidéo de cette fin de semaine, je ne peux qu’exprimer ma consternation et mon dégoût face à l’antisémitisme et la glorification du terrorisme qui ont pris place sur la Colline parlementaire. Ces discours haineux n’ont aucune place au Canada. Aucune.
