“Hey Hashem,
We know things will be ok and there is a happy ending to all of this, but we’d still appreciate some sort of sign that you have our backs…”
Today, in front of the Canadian Parliament buildings, there was a pro-Israel rally. It snowed throughout the rally. 
I woke up to countless messages with pictures of the snowflakes in that rally. 
I don’t know about you, but I will categorize this as a sign…
Either that or I’m imagining that the snowflakes look a whole lot like Stars of David. 
I’ll take it!

🇨🇦🤡 Clown Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau on the celebration 🎉 of a literal Nazi in the Canadian Parliament: It's Russian Propaganda! Russia, Russia, Russia!!!
And still no one asks what this Ukrainian Nazi was doing in Canada in the first place. Canada fought the Nazis in WWII and then it seems, took those Nazis in as refugees after the war.
Special Thanks for the video to: DD Geopolitics

Pierre Poilievre has been relentlessly going after Justin Trudeau in Canadian parliament. Trudeau has a script that he never deviates from. There are two conversations going on in this debate. There have been a lot of stabbings by repeat offender criminals, and Trudeau won’t discuss anything other than guns, not criminals getting bail over and over again, exposing normal citizens to danger they shouldn’t have to face. Canada was founded on fur trapping, so guns are part of the culture, once you’re out of the big cities. Canada has always been a safe country to live in, but that seems to be changing.

Where do I even begin? I'm appalled. The Canadian government living up to its roots in colonial-settler violence... this is beyond criminal. Contact your MP's. This erasure and anti-Palestinian racism is unacceptable.
For anyone reading this on or after February 26th, 2024 -here is more information/updates:

Nazis and other stuff.
In Canada there is a major kerfuffle about the speaker of the parliament doing an honor to a 98 year old Ukrainian man who fought Russians in WW2 and was a hero. The speaker resigned and apologized.
His mistake was pretty serious. I mean who was fighting Russians in WW2? It was the Nazi Germans. As an educated man the speaker should have tweaked to that. This guy was fighting on the side of Nazis.
There are several back stories here and I think they are important. The president of Ukraine was in town and made a speech in Parliament. That is why and when the honor was given to the old Ukrainian soldier guy. Ukraine is at war with Russia because Vladimir Putin accuses their government of being Nazis because they dare to oppose him. Everyone has heard that.
Back when the war started I did a rant explaining why Ukrainians HATE Russians. Between WW1 and WW2 there was genocide in Ukraine propagated by the Soviet Russian government. So even if Russia conquered Ukraine they would be an occupying power in a hostile country.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
When the German Army rolled across the Soviet Union in 1941 an early goal was to conquer the area that was Ukraine and access the land and resources. Many Ukrainians considered them liberators and joined German military formations organized by the Waffen SS. Yes those guys. The SS often recruited from local populations. Some of these people were conscripted or joined voluntarily, but there is no doubt they fought for the SS. Another country aligned with and fighting against Russia with the Nazis was Finland. They also hated Russians.
Nobody is accusing Finland of being Nazi, but they had their own army and were not under the orders of the SS. So there is that.
Eventually as the fortunes of war turned this Ukrainian Division restyled themselves as a new national army and dropped the SS thing. Thousands retreated across Europe to escape capture by Russian Troops and certain death. The old man in the Parliament gallery was one of those. He was a teenager when they surrendered to the Western allies. He probably was not a Nazi, but hey I don't know for sure.
Now it gets personal.
I had an uncle long dead who was an MP from Alberta. He was ethnic Ukrainian as am I obviously. He worked with the Canadian government to immigrate and settle a lot of these former soldiers. Many were admitted and settled in Canada and even the USA.
They were investigated in 1950 for possible involvement in atrocities and crimes. This was repeated in 1986 and there was no evidence of such crimes by them uncovered then. So it is very likely that this old man was not a Nazi sympathizer, or involved in any crimes as a soldier under SS command.
I have a bit of a problem with if what my uncle did was really a good thing. I know many of my relatives from that era were antisemitic. My grandfather was, but I do not know how much. He wrote stories where Jews were villains. I cannot say if that played a part or not. I grew up differently. However it is not certain that any of these former SS troops were actually Nazis.
Hell the American Military grabbed lots of rocket scientists from Germany back in that era. The man who designed the rocket that put men on the moon was in the Nazi party. His rockets were being built by slave labor during the war, but he was OK. Ferdinand Porsche was a Nazi but people still bought his cars. My Uncle saved lives. If they had been sent back to Soviet Territory death and torture was assured.
So I think it is important to recall the reason many young men joined an invading army, even though that army represented one of the most horrific episodes of human history.
Stories are never one dimensional.

Gun violence is a problem in Canada too. While the death tolls are lower, gun violence has increased since around 2009. Canada had a mass shooting in Nova Scotia in 2020, after which the government banned ‘1500 types of military-grade or assault-style firearms’. Smuggling of handguns from the United States has helped fuel increasing crimes in Canada, hence why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has proposed a freeze on handgun ownership.

The speaker of Canada’s House of Commons resigned Tuesday for inviting a man who fought for a Nazi military unit during World War II to Parliament to attend a speech by the Ukrainian president.
Just after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered an address in the House of Commons on Friday, Canadian lawmakers gave 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka a standing ovation when Speaker Anthony Rota drew attention to him. Rota introduced Hunka as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.
Observers over the weekend began to publicize the fact that the First Ukrainian Division also was known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, or the SS 14th Waffen Division, a voluntary unit that was under the command of the Nazis.
