I Picked the Right Name for My Blog

It seems that I couldn't have picked a better name for my blog 'The World is Upside Down'.

Look at the election in the US. On the one hand we have a former TV personality (amongst other professions) from a German background  who is currently the president and who is without a doubt the most pro-Israel and Jew-friendly president in the history of the United States. On the other we have the leading Democratic nominee who is a senator and Jewish, who comes from a Polish/Jewish background and who lost many relatives in the Holocaust. He is without a doubt the most anti-Israel (read antisemitic) candidate in US history. I'm talking about Bernie Sanders of course. 

This is the stuff one might read in a fiction novel. In fact one would have to have quite an imagination to even come up with this. I could see writing a novel with this theme and getting it rejected by publishers because it was too off the top. 

I, like most people, (even including Democrats) don't believe Bernie Sanders has a hope in hell of being the next president. Based on their performance to date, none of the Democratic candidates have that chance. Based on President Trump's performance he not only looks unbeatable, he deserves to win and G-d help us if he doesn't.

Bernie is not only a self hating Jew, but he is also a Communist (yes Trump said it correctly) and is quite willing to destroy America, a country that he despises. Whereas President Trump considers America to be the greatest country the world has ever seen and wants to make it even better, Bernie thinks that America is rotten to the core and needs to be reinvented as yet one more failed, communist state. He wants to bankrupt America with his multi-trillion dollar policies including but not limited to: free healthcare for all (which includes illegal aliens who have committed crimes), free college tuition for all (which includes illegal aliens who have committed crimes), higher taxes for all, open borders (anyone in the world including criminals can come to the US), income limits (ie. if you work your ass off and make try to get ahead, your income will be capped), more government, more spending (higher debt), cut off aid to Israel, more aid to the murderous Palestinians, etc, etc. 

Again, anyone running for the leader of the US with these horrific policies, one might think can only be the fantasy of a creative, fictional writer. But this is real. Unlike some of his competitors on the Democratic stage, he sincerely believes them and if given the chance, he will make them happen. He could easily be running for the president of communist, dictatorships or Islamic theocracies like Russia, Cuba, China or Iran. His policies mostly match theirs and he would fit right in. The notable exception is his open border policy. This btw, is one he's flip flopped on. For thirty years he was all about jobs (a laudable objective no doubt). Back then he was against open borders because he rightly claimed that the more illegal immigrants came in, the fewer jobs would be left for Americans. But now he has conceded this policy to follow the current Leftist agenda. It makes sense for them because after all, the more illegals you let in, the more votes you'll get. 

He is constantly decrying the many great things these and other countries have accomplished. At least he's not as two faced as his predecessor Obama. Obama held similar beliefs but realized that he couldn't come totally out of the closet at the time. Bernie is different. He's held those beliefs his entire life and now he sees that the time is right to not only not hide them, but shout them out at rallies and on TV to millions of viewers. His honeymoon in the Soviet Union years ago, speaks volumes. I mean, who does that?

You can see him drunk and almost naked in the USSR in this video here.

On every debate he consistently mentions how the dictator Fidel Castro helped get Cubans to be literate. That's like me saying I love dogs (which I absolutely do) and then saying how Adolf Hitler liked dogs too so he wasn't all bad. Hitler and Castro had many things in common. They were both brutal dictators who killed many innocent people. The fact that Castro helped teach his people to write is so irrelevant it hurts my ears to hear it. Tens of thousands of Cubans risked their lives to escape Cuba to come to the States on flimsy rafts, many not making it. That's how great the communist state of Cuba was and still is. My wife's cousin died in Cuba in some backwater 'hospital' because they wouldn't even examine his chest pains because he left his passport at his hotel. That's how great their medical system is. But don't tell that to Bernie. 

It should be no surprise that most young Americans love him. After all, they have been indoctrinated by Leftist educators at colleges all over the country for years. And we let them get away with it. Free stuff has an appeal to all of us. For most people, when we hear the word 'free' our ears perk up. I run the other way. For other, older Americans who love Bernie, they are simply ignorant. They have no idea what communism is or what it represents. They are sick of the wealthy getting away without paying their fair share of taxes while there is still so much poverty all around them. I am too. But I'm not nearly that naive to think that Socialism/Communism (whatever you wish to call it) is the answer. Capitalism isn't perfect. Neither is Trump. But any objective person or anyone who's studied history can't ignore the benefits of both. I'm sure I've said this before but I'll say it again. My dear mother who survived the Holocaust in a gulag in Siberia explained communism to me when I was just a child with this short story: 
"Leon, there is nothing more humiliating than being slowly starved to death in the stark cold, waiting for hours every day in long lines to get a piece of bread while listening to speakers telling us how great the Soviet Union was."

If anyone of the Democrats became president, the US and the world would suffer irreparable damage.  But if Bernie won, the economy of the States would plummet before he would even begin his acceptance speech. 

The problem is, thanks to Bernie and his quartet (AOC, Omar, et all) they have legitimized a far Left paradigm that promotes communism, antisemitism, anti-Americanism and polices that would absolutely cripple Americans. The only people that would benefit would be illegal alien criminals. I doubt the he wins and hopefully he won't but his agenda is so powerful that he's got ALL of the other Democratic candidates crawling over each other to sign on to most of his insane, far left policies. Even the so called 'moderates' have crossed the line to Bernie's party. 

Trump won't be president forever. One day a Democrat will be voted back in and the millions of Americans who voted for Bernie will have their chance to rule the world again and to put it mildly, it won't be good. 

3 Party System in the US

Here in Canada we have had a 3 party political system for many years. If we didn't have it, we would never elect a Conservative leader. The 3 main parties we've had are: Conservative, Liberal and the New Democratic Party (NDP). Canadians for the most part vote Liberal. There are a variety reasons for this and I won't get into this now. The fact is that when the NDP party is strong, they take votes away from the Liberal party and therefore give the Conservative party a chance at leading our government. So for someone like me who for the most part, votes Conservative, this is great news. Said the other way around, despite me disliking the NDP immensely, without them, we'd never have a Conservative leader. 

To be sure, there are other parties that have come and gone, like the Reform party and new parties that are trying to push their way up. Currently Canadians can vote for the Green, Libertarian, People's party, Separatist and other parties that have no chance at winning (Thank G-d).

But until now, the US has had only 2 main parties: Republican and Democrat. 

I believe in G-d and as such I see that He works in mysterious ways. On the surface of it, many of the Democrat leaders like Bernie Sanders, AOC and others like them are really outright Communists and they have millions of real followers. They rightly scare the crap out me and others who know what Communism is and the very real danger it poses. The other half like the Clintons, Biden, Bloomberg and others are certainly far Left of the Republicans but I wouldn't call them Communists or even Socialists. Perhaps I'd call them Opportunists. 

Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders

In the coming months you will see some serious cat fights between the 2 factions. One can see this happening right now. It's highly entertaining if you like the Republicans (like me). Whereas President Trump has united the Republican party big time, the Democrat party is in serious trouble of fracturing. We saw in the last election how Hilary and the Democratic party cheated Bernie and got clean away with it. I found it disturbing on the one hand but on the other, I thought that either person would destroy America and leave the world in tatters. This scenario seems on cue to replay itself but perhaps even more so. Bloomberg is using his billions (70 or more) to help ensure that Bernie loses their nomination and perhaps put either himself (he's got no real chance) or Hillary in power via a brokered convention. 

Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg

Most of the powerful players behind the Democratic party don't want the socialist/communists amongst them to lead them. But look at the choices Democrat voters have. On the one hand extreme Socialists (Trump had it right when he called them communists) like Bernie or Warren vs 'moderates' like Biden who has quite obviously lost his mind (if he ever had one). 

The process of breaking down the Democratic Party started with former President Obama who was quite happy to see the demise of America and who championed more government and more power to the state. You recall his infamous speech about how the infrastructure in America was built by the government ('You didn't build that'). He stripped down American businesses from large corporations to small ma and pop shops at every opportunity. He was schooled in Socialism and followed its doctrine. I'm not sure that he prophesied that an old Jewish communist (albeit a self hater) would one day take over what he started but no one could have (no human that is). 

To sum up: The two factions within the Democratic party hate each other, possibly as much or more than they despise the president. As such they could easily split into 2 parties. The way things are playing out, it looks like they will. It might not happen tomorrow but at the current rate, it could happen sooner that one might think. And if it does, it will be great news for the Republicans. Like my country, Canada (which has many mostly Leftwing parties and more or less only 1 Rightwing party), todays supporters of the Democratic candidates will be forced to split their votes between 2 parties (Democrat vs the new party which might be called Labour like Israel's one time formidable party). Few if any votes will be drawn from the Republican party. 

Anyway you cut it, it's great news!

Obama Mainstreamed Black Antisemitism in the US

This is an another elephant in the room story. While Jews like me and especially orthodox Jews in Toronto are relatively safe, our brothers and sisters south of the border are being killed. In the last few weeks at least 9 terrible, antisemitic attacks that include many dead, have taken place in the New York city area. From rabbis to children, any obviously looking Jewish person is a potential target for attacks. And who is doing the attacking? Black Antisemites.

I know that the Left would prefer to have us believe that the attackers were white supremacists. But unfortunately for them, they are not. That's unless people of colour can be white supremacists. As far as I know, so far at least, that's impossible. 

There are many articles and videos about the terrible attacks on TV, on the internet and in the newspapers. Although the antisemitic attacks have been ongoing for years, the murderous attacks have finally hit the mainstream media (MSM). Even my local Toronto news (CP24) talked about the murderous attacks around New York and New Jersey. But what really made me want to vomit was their constant clips of an influential black antisemite, Reverend Al Sharpton, talking about fighting racism (I noted that he never mentioned the word 'antisemitism'). He was the main guy responsible for inflaming the Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn in the early ninety's where Black on Jewish violence flourished.  One can also watch New York's mayor Bill de Blasio  blame the antisemitic attacks on white skin heads and more recently blame President Trump. This too is no less vile. Rather than admit that he himself is to blame (at least in part) for his city's troubles, he, like most left leaning politicians, are quick to blame the president for all and any problem in the world today. 

But where did this Black antisemitism come from? One can make the point that it started with Muslim slave leaders in Africa generations ago. But the current spate of Black antisemitism in the US  can and should be attributed directly to former president Obama. For starters, he was Black (at least he certainly looked Black and identified as one despite having a White mother).  And despite the libellous charges of Trump being an antisemite (I won't even bother to negate this insane charge), it's Obama who was/is the antisemite. And being two faced, he is arguably more dangerous than most. After listening to his more straightforward Black, antisemitic, preacher for 20 years, Reverend Wright, Obama was finally forced to publicly disassociate himself from him. I called him straightforward because unlike Obama, the Black reverend declared his antisemitism and for that matter, his proud hatred for Whites and even Americans publicly at church every week for years. But you might recall that it took Obama months to finally be pushed to not finally not select Wright as the White House's official clergyman. The fact that Obama even considered him for the post should have sent shock waves to the world. But as usual, the MSM gave him a pass on this. 

It also gave him a pass on his friendship with some of the nastiest antisemites in the West today. Like his friendship with the Black leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan! Apparently if you are Black you can easily get away with calling Jews anything you want and Farrakhan who has tens of thousands of Black followers who are quite happy to agree with his every word seems to have found a voice among his community.  Obama made it clear over his 8 years as president that it was okay to discriminate against Jews and of course the Jewish homeland, Israel. It wasn't long as president before he broke tradition with all previous presidents of both parties, and said out loud that 'we must put daylight between the US and Israel'. And when he got a pass from the MSM and support from most in the Democratic party, even including the Left wing Jews, he implemented those haunting words. I won't repeat my posts about his many anti-Israel, pro-Muslim actions here (you can view my older posts like this one and review them) but suffice it to say that US-Israel relations were at an all time low under his presidency. If the Black president of the US is seen in photo-ops with another Black leader who called the Jews termites then certainly he is giving the green light to others to do the same. 

                                Obama and Farrakhan at a Congressional Black Caucus Meeting

In fact the Congressional Black Caucus has befriended all of the influential Black antisemites along with their hero Obama. Other good friends of the former president include Reverend Jesse Jackson and Reverend Al Sharpton who are also antisemites who happen to be Black. Conservative Black leader Larry Elder recently admitted that today approximately 30% of American Blacks are antisemites. But you won't hear that statistic from any White source because we are too scared to broach this politically incorrect topic. 

President Obama surrounded himself with antisemites. Some were White like defense secretary Chuck Hagel,  ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power or foreign policy adviser Zbigniew Brzenzinky. But many were Black. Like national security advisor, Susan Rice or his early mentor Frank Marshall Davis. Even Obama's Black wife, Michelle had no love for Jews. She gave the International  Women of Courage award to antisemite Samira Ibrahim who quotes her hero, Hitler, often. 

I think I've made my point, as politically incorrect as it might be. Thank you President Obama! 

Welcome to the Socialist Dominion of Canada

Here is some news that none of the mainstream media (MSM) feels worthy of news coverage but I certainly feel that it does. Let me know after you read this if you agree or not.

While our national state sponsored broadcaster in Canada, the left winged CBC, has decided that it was of the utmost importance to cut a 10 second cameo appearance of President Trump out of the movie Home Alone 2 (yes folks, that's why we pay them the big bucks), they failed to report on a high school in Nova Scotia that has for a long time now, posted pictures of some of their heroes (certainly not mine and hopefully not yours): Karl Marx and Che Guevara! 

Thanks to my colleague Jeremy Valentine, who lives out east, we are all now privy to what passes as history in our Canadian schools where opinion replaces fact and feelings trump everything. 

Despite Jeremy's numerous attempts to notify the school, the department of education and the mayor of the city of Truro where this school (Cobequid Educational Center) is located, of this terrible 'mistake', he's received no replies to my knowledge.  Worse still, the pictures remain prominently displayed so that children can be brainwashed to think that these men are heroes. I urge you all to contact the school (notice I embedded the link to it above) and let them know what you think of this dreadful practice. 

Here are the pictures as they are displayed on the school walls:


Karl Marx the founder of Communism

Che Guevara the man who wrote the book on Guerrilla Warfare





















Are these the men that you would want your children to emulate? Karl Marx who came up with a  political idea called 'Communism' which helped destroy hundreds of millions of lives?
Or Che Guevara who is idolized over his poems about class struggle while killing political opponents, bringing Russia's nuclear weapons to Cuba and hanging homosexuals amongst other things? Who is running this school? It wouldn't surprise me if other schools throughout our glorious country also have posters of similar heroes. After all, if our own Prime Minister praised dictators often enough (like Cuba's Fidel Castro- Che's buddy) then why shouldn't our educational system follow suit?

Our schools are so important. They help shape the minds of our most valuable asset. Our children. It's been very obvious, to me and others that our schools have been infected with various leftist ideologies like political correctness, virtue signalling and hiding any facts, historical or current which don't fit their narrative. Look, I couldn't care less if some people idolize Che, Karl or Hitler. We live in a democracy and people are free to think what they want. But I draw the line about what our children our taught. We all should. These children are going to lead our country one day soon. And if they have been indoctrinated to think that Karl and Che are leaders worth emulating, then we are all in big trouble. 

I urge you all to write to the school principal. His name is: William Kaulbach. His email is: kaulbachw@ccrce.ca.  Here is my email to him:

Dear Principal Kaulbach,

It has come to my attention that your school has posters of Karl Marx and Che Guevara. I am sickened by the prospect of children being brainwashed to think that these men are some sort of hero. You should be too. Karl’s idea of communism helped destroy hundreds of millions of lives! Che wrote the book on guerrilla warfare, killed his political opponents and hanged homosexuals while writing poems on class struggle. Is there a shortage of good people that you could have used as heroes for your students to emulate? If you need help on this, I’m here to help.

I urge you to remove these obscene posters immediately. Also to teach your students exactly who these men were and to instruct your students and perhaps your staff (including yourself) about the dangers of communism. 

Time to Distance Myself from Faith Goldy

That beautiful, young woman is Faith Goldy. I voted for her to be my mayor of Toronto back in 2014.  Not because I thought John Tory was a bad guy. Because my main concern was that I didn’t want Toronto to become a dangerous place for my children and their children to live as is the case in most cities throughout Europe. As nice a guy that John Tory is, he is a politician first and will endorse anyone who endorses him, even if they are radical Muslims. Since our PM and in fact our country is moving to the politically correct, far left, our immigration system is being used as their political tool. Unvetted, often dangerous and more often racist Muslims from third world dictatorships are invited here at a record pace. And where do they live? Not in the North West Territories. They are moving to the big cities like Toronto. People like John Tory will not protect us from them. I thought Faith Goldy would. 

I was attacked by many of my friends for defending her. They called her a racist. A white supremacist  and worse. But until now, most of their arguments were based on hearsay. I recall when Ezra Levant fired her for doing a podcast with a neo-Nazi group. On the surface it didn’t look good. It certainly didn’t sound good. I certainly wouldn’t rush to do it. In fact I wouldn’t give them any credibility by doing that.  But I gave her the benefit of the doubt. After all when someone I respect like Israeli professor Mordechai Kedar did a TV interview with the antisemitic Arab media giant Al Jazeera, not only was he not condemned by people like me, he was applauded. Because he had the courage to debunk their lies, in Arabic, point by point. Although Faith didn’t argue with the affiliate of the white supremacist, the Daily Stormer, she didn’t endorse them either. However she was quite happy to be endorsed by them. 

But after her latest tweet, the other day she said: ‘How long must Jewish journalists whine about Nazis under all our beds while simultaneously earning shekels from scoffing at whites?  Merchants of hypocrisy.’, I have to admit that I made a mistake. 

I loved her when she attended the counter demonstration at the Bnai Brith headquarters in Toronto back in the summer of 2018, when even most Jewish leaders failed to show up to stand up to busloads of Jew hating Muslims, CUPW postal worker union members, Green party members and others. But now I see her as an opportunist. Opportunists can be dangerous. One day they are your best friend, the next day they can be your worst enemy. 

Looking at her tweet, she might have meant to say that it’s not the alt-right who are the biggest threat to Jews and other minorities, it’s the alt-left. If in fact that’s what she meant, she couldn't have picked a worse way to say it.  Perhaps she also wants to tell her alt-right supporters that she is not in the pocket of wealthy Jews like some on the far left. Okay- maybe. But either way she is either the worst communicator ever (on purpose) or she simply needs to finally come out of the closet and admit that she is a proud white supremacist. As a son of Holocaust survivors, I’m wary of the words that people use when they talk about Jews. Her words certainly invoked many nasty, antisemitic stereotypes. 

I haven’t yet heard any clarification from her on this as yet but either way she’s made her point on a number of occasions. It’s like someone who supports you but is always drunk, they do you more harm than good. I don’t hate her (yet) but it’s time to distance myself from her. I don’t need her or want her on my side. The bottom line is that I don't trust her and neither should you. Learn from my mistake. 

Welcome to Gaza at York University

The other evening an event sponsored by Herut Canada, an unapologetic Zionist organization, brought a handful of IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) reservists to speak on campus at York Univeristy in Toronto. This is their organization: https://onduty.org.il . The hostess, Lauren Isaacs is a student at York who often does presentations on her own or with other students trying to inform the masses about what Israel is, who Israelis are and what they do. They try to dispel the lies emanating from the pro-Palestinian mobs who claim that Israel is an apartheid state, that IDF soldiers kill children, remove organs from prisoners, are occupiers of their land, poison their wells and a host of other insane accusations.

The mission of the IDF reservists is to initiate a dialogue with students (who are ignorant of the facts about Israel and her neighbours) on campuses in the West, along the same lines as Herut Canada and Lauren Isaacs.

Once the event was announced, the intifada mob got wind of it as they always do and used social media to mobilize. They are a well organized group as they have been trained by their benefactors in Iran. (Yes they get funding from terrorists)

Once supporters of the event, like me, heard that the intifada mob were coming to the event in order to disrupt it and stop it as they always do, we planned to attend in order to stop them and to ensure that the event goes on. In my case as soon as I heard about it I sent a tweet to the president of York U, imploring her to do all in her power to keep the event going and the attendees safe despite any security threats.

Myself and 3 of my longtime friends decided to go to show our support and to hear the lecture from these brave IDF reservists. After parking, as we walked closer to the lecture hall, we could hear the screaming and banging. It sounded like a war zone. Megaphones were used, tables were banged upon and then we were confronted with a mass tangle of people trying to go up the stairs to the lecture hall.  There was a lot of pushing and screaming and some punching. Police and security were present and tried to separate the two sides. We eventually were ushered in quickly into the theatre room where we were handed a sheet of rules that included: You agree to be quiet until Q & A time where you will raise your hand in order to ask a question, no weapons or sticks of any kind are allowed, etc.

Within the room, security in the form of police, York security and other under cover Jewish security personnel were placed throughout (not that the IDF reservists really needed them, lol). There were a few minor interruptions when some of the intifada mobsters at random times stood up, raised their Hamas flags and started shouting. They didn't last long as most of the attendees who got into the room were Jewish or otherwise pro-Israel. They were escorted out in short order. There was a Syrian refugee who stated that he wanted to thank these reservists for saving his family from Syrian persecution in the Golan Heights. You can follow him on Twitter.  His name is Aboud Dandachi.

My friends and I left the lecture a few minutes early. From the high up view on a sort of balcony, we watched the hysterical intifada mob below us. They were about a hundred people or more.  Their leaders were often standing on tables, shouting slogans like 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' or 'Viva viva Palestina'. You could feel their hatred from a distance.

As we made our way downstairs to exit the building, my short, firecracker female friend asked me if I want to enter the hall with the intifada mob. Without thinking I said yes and in we went. I had my Israeli flag with me of course. I bravely (read stupidly) started walking through the mob and doing a circle. I lost track of my friend as I paraded around the mob with a smile on my face and my flag held high. I think at first the mob was in shock to see an old Jewish guy walking through their mob by himself with an Israeli flag. No one knew I was there and I certainly had no protection. I was also wearing my old martial arts jacket from 30 years ago. I felt a sense of pride and a very uplifting feeling that I cannot describe. I almost made it through before their leader, a woman wearing a kaffiyeh (you can see her yelling in the video clip below), grabbed my flag and tried to rip it from my hands. Before I knew it there were dozens of other people all around me trying to pull the flag away and trying to pull me down. I went crazy and with my adrenaline pumping, fought them all off with the aim of holding on to the flag at all costs. Eventually the wooden spindle broke but I had my flag intact. Out of breath I ran to a nearby, bored security guard and asked if he saw what happened, that they tried to attack me and broke my flag. He didn't even say a word, just shrugged. Here's a pic of my flag:

Eventually I found my friends and at first we were going to be escorted out through a back door along with other Jewish attendees including members of the JDL (Jewish Defence League) who were on hand to help ensure that the event took place. The route was under construction and some of us (myself included) complained. It was our event. Why must we be treated like court Jews from medieval times, sneaking out through tunnels. I received the standard answer from the guard: 'You are free to leave via any exit you want but we can't guarantee your safety if you leave through the main exit'. I wanted to tell him that it's your job to protect us, so do your job but I shut my mouth. Eventually we did decide as a group to turn around and leave through the main exit. We left without incident.

Unless you were there, words can't explain the level of vile hatred we experienced. Many peaceful people who wanted to attend the lecture could not do so or would not do so due to the scare tactics of the intifada mob. York University's poor planning as to where the lecture would take place and lack of separation between the 2 sides was blatantly obvious. If a picture is worth a thousand words then a video is worth a million. Here is a short clip of the mob that I walked through on my own. I'm sure that G-d had my back. I got out unscathed and feeling proud:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sZRPAWD1OI

I have been to many demonstration before but none with this intensity. There are many other videos now available on the internet to help you get a picture of what takes place on campus. Here is another good post.  I really did think I was in Gaza or Judea and Samaria (aka West Bank). Aboud, the Syrian refugee agrees. I feel very sorry for the Jewish students on campus who have to endure the intimidation and hate on a daily basis. During the lecture I offered my services to escort any Jewish student who is scared to go to classes. We found out that Hillel (the Jewish student body at York) wanted nothing to do with the lecture and in fact told Jewish students not to attend. Their equivalent group at University of Toronto did the same. They adopted what I call the shtetl mentality of keeping a low profile, hiding their kippot for those religious Jews that wear them in order not to cause any trouble. I understand the concept of not to incite violence. BTW, it is a Jewish concept. We have to weigh whether the benefit is worth the risk. It should be done on a case by case basis. In this case where we bring in people to inform the students at large, Christian, Muslim, Jews, atheists and others who are simply ignorant of the facts in the Middle East and the ongoing fighting there, I absolutely think that we have no choice. We must do it and support others who do. I know that in my case, I feel an even stronger connection to Israel now and to my brothers and sisters who defend Jews throughout the world. I'm sure others who attended did as well. I thank all those who attended and those who spread the word of what Jews  and Israel supporters are facing right here in 2019 in Toronto. The benefits did outweigh the risks!

My Letter to Sportsnet re: Firing of Hockey Icon Don Cherry

Don Cherry is a Canadian ice hockey icon. He's been involved in hockey either as a professional NHL player, coach or commentator for 65 years. He's brash and outspoken and that is his charm. I don't watch much hockey on TV nor am I in love with Don. I consider myself impartial.

Recently on the eve of Remembrance Day he made some comments on his TV show called Coach's Corner where he chastised people for not wearing the poppy which symbolizes Remembrance Day. He has a history of supporting Canadian war vets who sadly rely on the small donations that people give to buy a poppy on this important day. 

Here is a link to the video of his short talk on TV that ultimately got him fired from his current employer Sportsnet:  video


After hearing him being lambasted by our entire mainstream media, on social media, thrown under the bus by his colleague on the show and by just about every radio show I decided to write the following letter to his former employer. Listening to all of this, one would think that he killed someone. BTW: feel free to write them a letter at: feedback@sportsnet.rogers.com


Dear Sir/Madam,

I agree with Don Cherry! Not only was he right about some Canadians, especially some immigrants not paying enough attention to Remembrance Day, we have an obligation to educate them about our war vets. About how they saved us from real evil bigots who wanted to take over the world and silence those of us who disagreed.

Don Cherry could have used different words to tell his message but an excellent  communicator, he is not.

Nevertheless, he was speaking the truth from his heart as usual. I see it everywhere in Toronto as well. In the work place we constantly celebrate diversity. We are forced to learn about Black History (for a solid month). We put in many days of serious effort celebrating all sorts of cultures and religions with elaborate displays and events. Some immigrants take good advantage of our warm Canadian generosity, gaming the system and overextending our benefits of all kinds. Some are quick to push for private prayer rooms at the work place. But at those same organizations where employers put on excellent annual Remembrance Day presentations, I don’t see many of those people attending.

While using an ATM at the bank today, at least 3 people came in (yes they were new to Canada) who had no idea why the bank was closed. I made an effort to explain to them but they weren’t the least bit interested.

Many young people don’t know much about the great wars, the Holocaust or how our Canadian Armed Forces played a role in defending the free world. How they suffered and continue to suffer because our PM and our leftists in Canada don't seem to care about them.

Many Canadians of all colours and ages no nothing about Flanders fields or the significance of the poppy. They might have taught it at our schools years ago but I doubt that they do it anymore because our system is rigged against Canadian nationalism.

If Don wasn't a Conservative right winger, the extreme outrage perpetuated by our main stream media would never have happened. Case in point is our PM who wore black face numerous times, was caught groping numerous times, said that French Quebecers are better than English Canadians numerous times, gave millions of dollars to a convicted Muslim terrorist and even got away with interfering with a criminal case before the attorney general (aka SNC-Lavalin affair).

Don Cherry should be congratulated for having the courage to bring up this unspoken but important issue, not chastised or fired. You at Sportsnet missed a great teaching opportunity and missed the point entirely.
