Today we remember Raoul Wallenberg, who saved the life of 100,000 Jews in Hungary in the midst of the Holocaust. He was detained on January 17, 1945 and was never seen again. In 1985, he was made the first Honourary Citizen of Canada.

Jews who wear yarmulkes and traditional clothing have become the number one target in our nation's antisemitism epidemic.
We have their backs.

Wear your Jewishness publicly and send a powerful message amid rising Jew-hatred.
We consider political staffers to be heroes. We may not know their names, but on a terrible day these women carried a vital tool of democracy to safety. Thank you. 🙏
Here are the women — Senate aides — who had the presence of mind and courage to protect, keep safe, and transport the electoral votes before fleeing the Senate — which was under siege by domestic terrorists.
There will always be villains.
There will always be heroes.

It's been a true privilege to represent the community I love, and to help build a better Canada — together.
My note to constituents:

Today we honour
#RaoulWallenberg
, a hero of the highest order, who risked his life to save nearly 100,000 Hungarian Jews from the Nazis. He later perished in a Soviet gulag, but survives as an example of the best of humanity.
The Olympic Games held a moment of silence for the victims of the tragic Munich massacre in 1972 where11 members of the Israeli team were brutally murdered by Palestinian terror group Black September.
Finally, their memory is being honoured at this year's

Olympics.
Our team is so sorry to hear of the passing of David Caplan. He was dedicated to public service and devoted to his constituents. We are thinking of his family and friends today; may his memory be a blessing.
