The right to protest is a cornerstone of our democracy.

If they didn’t target a Jewish named hospital founded by Jews (they didn’t target the other 4 major hospitals on that street), a Jewish community center and my Jewish neighborhood in Toronto, then we wouldn’t rush to call them antisemitic. I thought this was about Israel…
Hospitals and medical workers must always be safe to provide important services for patients and their families.
Last night's protest route in front of the Mount Sinai hospital had a negative impact and that's troubling and wrong in a society that cherishes freedom of assembly
