As a Jewish MP, Melissa, can you not commit to work together across parties to fight antisemitism? Surely that makes more sense than fighting each other. Stop throwing stones from a glass house and let’s show Canadians how we can come together to fight hate.
If it’s a constant struggle to explain to the Prime Minister who has stood idly by watching Jewish communities targeted by bullets and firebombs into synagogues, schools & businesses…
If it’s a struggle to understand that the Prime Minister is playing both sides of this issue

Shame on politicizing this screening. This is about the death of many innocent people and that must be treated with respect. Leave the partisan games at the door.
At a screening on Parliament Hill today, not a single member from the government showed up to see the footage from October 7, 2023.
Not one Liberal Member of Parliament.

Was the problem that the Nazis had the word “Socialist” in their party name? I thought the problem was that they killed millions of innocent people including 6 million Jews.
Woke left goes crazy when people point out the undeniable historical fact that "national socialists" in Germany & Italy were, as the name proves, "socialists".
Fascism/socialism/communism glorifies the state over the people and always with the same horrific result.

I grew up going to the synagogue just blocks away from the Shaar Hashomayim and went there many times as a kid. This strikes a bit closer to home. Sad and disgusted but strength in seeing people stand up to condemn. There is no place for hate.
The desecration of Montreal’s Shaar Hashomayim with the most vile and abhorrent symbol of evil and hate is an utter disgrace. I ask all Canadians to stand with Shaar Hashomayin and members of the Jewish faith as we condemn this act that has no place in this country!
