In the months after the October 7 attacks, the steady rise of antisemitism primarily sparked disbelief. My opinion piece on how the discourse has shifted to efforts to silence and thwart initiatives to protect the Jewish community. x.com/TheHubCanada/s…

“Jewish communities have long known silence. At its worst it manifested as synagogue floors covered in sand to mask the sound of feet shuffling during prayers or by those hidden to escape capture by Nazis. In today’s Canada silence comes in different ways” x.com/mgeist/status/…

Thank you to Michael Geist for pointing out what many have ignored for too long. There's a serious and ugly Jew-hatred problem going on in Canada right now. And it needs to stop. And it only stops when we demand that it does.

The recent implementation of age-gating the UK internet has led to calls for banning VPNs that get around the blocks. Canadians should know that this sort of law may be heading our way. (And also, Part 15 of #BillC2 would empower the government to order backdoors in VPNs.)
