- Ottawa principal apologizes for playing Arabic song during Remembrance Day ceremony
>In a letter issued Tuesday, the school's principal Aaron Hobbs said the intention "was to foster a message of peace and remembrance, reflecting on the importance of unity and reconciliation," but that he has since become aware the song "caused significant distress to some members of our school community." > "For this, I would like to offer my apologies," he said. > >The song title, when translated to English, roughly means "This Is Peace." Many comments on multiple Youtube videos of the song, speak of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the suffering of Palestinians, though the song itself makes no mention of the conflict in the Middle East. > >"The inclusion of a song that could be seen as politically charged was not in line with the values of respect and unity that we strive to uphold at this school," wrote Hobbs
I don't know the song but this doesn't look good.
>However, several human rights advocacy groups are now condemning the backlash, calling it anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab. > >"Just because the language is Arabic?" asked Jamila Ewais, a researcher with the Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East's anti-racism program. "What if someone was singing this language, let's say this song or like a similar song in, I don't know German or Ukrainian language?"

- Canada's IHRA handbook won't end antisemitism, only harm jewsrabble.ca Canada's IHRA handbook won't end antisemitism, anly harm jews
International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance IHRA definition of antisemitism suppresses all criticism of the state of Israel.
> As repression against the Palestinian liberation movement in Canada continues to intensify, this handbook serves as yet another tool for curtailing our right to protest and speak out against the atrocities Israel is committing. As charges from the past year against protestors in Toronto are being dropped, the state is seeking new and creative ways to criminalize Palestinian solidarity. Hiding behind the same excuse used to found the State of Israel, the IHRA definition of antisemitism and the newly released handbook are merely another tool for distraction and repression.
- CRA launched 'witch hunt' against whistleblowers who exposed millions in bogus refunds, sources say
The Canada Revenue Agency is on a "witch hunt" to find whistleblowers who may have spoken to the media and exposed how it has been repeatedly duped into paying out millions in bogus refunds to scammers, according to sources.
"The consensus is that management is nervous," one source said. "Any media contacts [they're saying]: 'Don't talk to them at all, don't talk to journalists.' I think they're very much trying to control the narrative."
According to multiple sources, the CRA's senior leadership is anxious, looking for ways to silence employees and to limit media coverage.
Last month, an investigation by CBC's The Fifth Estate and Radio-Canada revealed the tax collector has been keeping Canadians largely in the dark about how many hundreds of millions of dollars in public funds it has wrongly paid out, as well as the extent to which taxpayers have had their CRA accounts hacked by fraudsters.

- I am starting the process to immigrate to Canada from the US. Maybe unsurprisingly I find I have no ideas where I would like to live. I do enjoy mountains, and don't want to be in the heart of a city.

EDIT: Oh, Come ONNNN!!!!
