Huge story from my colleague @ebessner in @thecjn. Jews faced racial discrimination in the CAF, and now... they face racial discrimination in the class-action to rectify the racial discrimination they faced in the CAF. thecjn.ca/news/jewish-canadi…
I found myself thinking a bit too much about this Macklemore–Ed Sheeran thing, so I wrote a piece for @TheCJN. My take: feeling compelled to say "Free Palestine" onstage reveals less about your morals than it does about your understanding of the conflict.

New Pod! As he attempts to repeat as an NBA champ, we discuss Chet (?ח) Holmgren's Jewish heritage.
Plus: Max Fried's road to recovery, Matt Turner's second World Cup trip and more from the world of Jews and sports

The forward facing brand of the Raptors is this friendly Canadian brand with fun branding from the 90s, and just endearing.
The truth is it’s just another Shoppers Drugmart. A vertically integrated corporate cartel with the most sterile internal culture that underpays everyone.
I understand why @BolWrld deleted this immediately but, FWIW, I produce the @menschwarmers Jewish sports podcast, and actually thought the pun was kinda funny.
The Brooklyn Nets are officially the most Jewish team in the NBA. I'm emailing them tomorrow for @menschwarmers.
Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but this looks 100% like a "fuck" of disbelief to me—like, "Fuck, can't believe I got drafted Top 10".
For @TheCJN, I wrote about #TheRehearsal and how @nathanfielder is carrying the torch of Jewish observational comedy from an outside perspective—with a 21st-century digital twist. thecjn.ca/arts-culture/with-…
Tuning into the @hellowelcomepod react pod for the first time live and am confused (but also not at all confused) by the AI-generated chat summary
My family and I stopped going to the @NFFarmerMarket this year—but the real reason is that more than half the farmers disappeared. Unless they come back, I probably won't either. Not waiting in line for DeVries Supermarket for an hour.
Reverse course: Niagara Falls Farmers’ Market permanently moving back to MacBain Community Centre niagarafallsreview.ca/news/c…

First time I've been on a podcast in a while, thanks for having me Bonjour Chai team
Can Israeli films ever be screened again at film festivals without being protested?

BONJOUR CHAI podcast @BonjourChai @BovyMaltz @MFraiman
I haven't done creative writing in maybe a decade. But for the last four years, I've been working on this fiction podcast audio drama for @TheCJN.
It's about Holocaust victims rising from mass graves as zombies.
The trailer launched today⤵️ thecjn.ca/podcasts/hear-the-…
Extreme thanks to the team at @ashkenazfest who helped make this happen.
We're doing a live reading of the play (free!) at the Ashkenaz Festival on Aug 31. Come on down if you can. ashkenaz.ca/event/justice-a-…
Kudos to my colleagues at @TheCJN for setting the record straight about what happened at Leo Baeck Day School today. Hear the head of school directly refute the conclusion jumped to by Ezra Levant et al. thecjn.ca/news/simply-not-tr…
Scenes from the Palestinian protest at Niagara Falls today. Overall normal. The only arguably egregious signs I saw:
"Zionists don't believe that God exists but they do believe he promised them Palestine"
"Stop trying to make 'Israel' happen. It's not going to happen..."
