Exciting news! In just under a week, our petition calling for accountability and change has surged past 1300 signatures! This remarkable momentum is a testament to our shared commitment to making a difference. However, despite our collective voice, there's been deafening silence from Jill Andrew and Marit Stiles. We are in despair to learn that Police are investigating after a Forest Hill Starbucks (in a Jewish neighborhood) was targeted with hateful graffiti - right in Jill's riding! As of 12:45pm today, no word from Jill condemning this act of hate!
Additionally, only two out of four bathrooms affected by swastikas at Northern Secondary School have been reopened after several weeks. Did the union run out of paint that day? We need answers.
And while we have only silence from our own MPP, Jill Andrew, on a brighter note, the Provincial Education Minister has taken a significant step in holding educators accountable for hateful comments, emphasizing that off-duty conduct is relevant to their suitability to teach. This is a substantial victory in ensuring our public institutions are safe and inclusive for all.
However, troubling incidents persist. At a recent pro-Palestinian rally on Nov 12, a song played included lyrics glorifying violence against Jewish people. Problematic public figures endorsed by Jill Andrew, such as CUPE lead Fred Hahn (currently under Human Rights investigation, accused of antisemitism) along with MPPs Sarah Jama and Mathew Green were present, cheering for these disturbing sentiments. We know that Jill is 'CUPE Endorsed' and shares many views with Fred Hahn, an insidious connection that surely helped her get elected in the last cycle.
NEVER AGAIN! Now is not the time to let up. Please share this petition widely with your friends, family, and networks.
Inspired by Bari Weiss's recent speech, "You Are the Last Line of Defense," let us be unwavering in defending the values that have shaped our country into the freest and most tolerant society in history.
The leftist intellectual Sidney Hook, who broke with the Communists, and called his memoir Out of Step, used to implore those around him to “always answer an accusation or a charge” to not let falsehood stand unchallenged.
Together, we can make a difference and uphold the values that define our nation.
