It's not right-wing populism that endangers Jewish survival in Europe and Canada; it's the influx of Muslims. There's nothing new in the Jewish leadership's habit of kibitzing about the dangers to Jewish continuity from marauding Mormons (their sin is to convert dead Jews). Or, from Mel Gibson, whose movie "The Passion of the Christ” was supposed to unleash pogroms in Pittsburgh, as they falsely prophesied.

I decided I was going to fight for changes in the educational system to include our history, but I didn't know how to do it. I began to sing at parties for friends and was invited to perform at a folk festival in New York City in 1960 toured elementary and high schools and universities in Canada, and also prisons. I was singing songs and telling stories about our history.

Canada got one break in the Walkerton tragedy: the deadly contamination of the Ontario town's water supply, which killed seven people in the summer of 2000, came from cow manure. If the contamination had come instead from, say, a toxic chemical produced by a foreign company, that would have been worse. Then the company might well have sued Canada for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Inspired by the teachings of Smohalla, Chief Joseph of the Nez Percé in Idaho rebelled in 1877. Before he was trapped only thirty miles short of refuge in Canada, he had consistently outwitted and outfought a superior United States Army... although he forbade his warriors to scalp or to torture, the Whites massacred his women and children.

The year 1967 gave us the feeling of the one-ness of Canada, until it was rudely jolted by de Gaulle and his insensate call for a "free" Quebec. That visit robbed the Centennial year of its high shine and made the people of the other nine provinces aware as never before of the crisis of Confederation.

Today, the countries that had kept up a civilised relationship with Modi despite the US's strictures-these include Japan, Singapore, Canada, Australia, Israel[,] and even China-are happy with the knowledge that their transition to a new regime will be extra smooth. Nor will the others who changed their tune midway feel disadvantaged. It is only the US that invested politically in the witch-hunt against Modi that feels seriously threatened.

Canada, in fact, has had its own legacies of slavery, segregation, state violence, and systemic impoverishment; and Canada, no less than any other site of the African diaspora, boasts brilliant affirmations of Black life and creativity, powerfully "here,” but in complex intercultural and diasporic dialogue with the world.

Mr Grier: "OK! Let's get started with today's English lesson, eh? Today we are going to learn some 'Canadian' English. Let's start with some Canadian expressions popular right now, eh? Repeat after me:
'Neverwinter Nights will be released when it is complete.'
'Neverwinter Nights will be released this winter.'
'In Canada it's always winter.'
'Neverwinter Nights will be released soon, we promise!'"

Perhaps the time may come when it will be wise to abandon all North America but Canada, Nova Scotia, and the Floridas, but then the generality of the nation must see it first in that light, but to treat with Independence can never be possible... A sea war is the only wise plan.
