My latest for @therovermedia.bsky.social. It's on Gaza, and Canada, and somehow the Expos come up twice. It's long. Find a comfy chair.

Summertime Blues: Thoughts on Gaza, Canada, and an Unfathomable Hunger – The Rover

It’s blatantly obvious what side the Canadian establishment has been on, no matter how much public opinion begs, pleads, implores them to differ. There’s really no debate.

Montreal Archives just posted this photo of the giant silo that used to stand between Marché Bonsecours and the Old Port. What a difference today.

As another Jewish woman in the industry, I can clear this up: It's due to her being an asshole.

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:

"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

"You can tell the world is going to hell when politicians seize the circus. That a UFC show will soon take place on the White House lawn to commemorate the Declaration of Independence and an autocratic buffoon’s birthday is the sign of a country in grotesque decay." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

“If I didn’t speak French, I wouldn’t have understood my Moroccan taxi driver when he matter-of-factly informed me that I spoke the language ‘avec l’accent de Céline Dion,’ making me howl with laughter in the back of his cab.”

Drimonis: In Morocco, I was made to feel like a Quebecer. How refreshing

Many detected my Québécois accent and colloquialisms — which, for someone accustomed to hearing I’m not a “real Quebecer,” felt validating.

Same. I’ve never felt as confident speaking French as when I was in Paris and Lyon. I felt welcomed with open arms. Here I’ve been asked what state I’m from.
