Saturday was supposed to be a celebration of the 1.7M of us who are of Italian-Canadian origin. Instead, we were attacked by antisemitic pro-Hamas thugs. Let me be clear I stand unequivocally with Jewish Canadians against this hate.

I was born & raised in North York. It's my home. I know it well. There are plenty of places to protest - the highway at Avenue Rd & Wilson in a predominantly Jewish area is not one of them. The
@TorontoPolice
&
@OPP
need to work more closely together before someone gets hurt.
Due to public safety concerns, the Avenue Road Bridge will be closed. There will be no access to Avenue Road from Highway 401. Police are on scene to enforce this in order to keep demonstrators, counter-demonstrators, and passing traffic safe.
Stay tuned for re-opening details.

Demonstrations in support of the terrorist organization Hamas are being held outside of a Jewish hospital, a Jewish community centre, Jewish-owned restaurants, & on an overpass in a Jewish area of North York. They are organized by antisemitic thugs - lets call them what they are
This is Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada.
The hospital was established because Jewish doctors had no place to train or work due to anti-semitism.
Tonight a crowd is chanting for violence against Jews outside this place of healing.
