Because of Pierre Pollievre, Jewish MPs are stuck in Ottawa voting for more than 18 straight hours, kept away from celebrating Hanukkah together with family and community. This, after what’s been the hardest few months we’ve experienced as Jews in our lifetime. Shameful.

As a lover of all animals, I am distressed to learn that another shipment of horses has left Winnipeg to be slaughtered for meat overseas.
