SHABBAT READING The Plague of Evil Speech: Tazria, Metzora, 5768, 5783: Jonathan Sacks, The Rabbi Sacks Legacy — The Rabbis moralised the condition of tzara’at – often translated as leprosy – the subject that dominates both Tazria and Metzora. It was, they said, a punishment rather than a medical condition. Their interpretation was based on the internal evidence of the Mosaic books […]
Robert Fife and Stephen Chase Globe and Mail, Mar. 2, 2023 “Classified documents revealed the campaign’s goals were to ensure that a minority Liberal government was returned in 2021 and that certain Conservative candidates identified by China were defeated.” China appears to have targeted Justin Trudeau in a foreign influence operation after he became Liberal […]
Omid Horeishi The Epoch Times, Apr. 19, 2023 “Citing unnamed insiders at the foundation and an internal document, La Presse said the money couldn’t be returned because the name on the donation cheque wasn’t the same name as that of the real donor.” At the centre of the controversy surrounding the Pierre Elliott Trudeau […]
James Griffiths Globe and Mail, Apr. 16, 2023 “The donations did raise some eyebrows, as did Mr. Zhang’s attendance at a cash-for-access fundraiser with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in May, 2016.” Zhang Bin, a wealthy Chinese businessman, finds himself in the middle of a controversial 2016 donation to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation that The Globe […]

SHABBAT READING: The Closeness of God: Ki Tissa: Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Covenant & Conservation, 5776, 5783 — The more I study the Torah, the more conscious I become of the immense mystery of Exodus 33.

Alexander Raskin Jersey Dying Well Group, Feb. 2, 2023 “Since Trudeau was elected in 2015, his government has single-handedly created the largest, most permissive euthanasia program in the world.” It was supposed to be easy. If journalists asked the Honourable David Lametti, Canada’s minister of justice, a difficult question about euthanasia, he simply […]
Jane Stannus Spectator Australia, Feb. 14, 2023 “… with the support for euthanasia comes the insidious pseudo-religious pressure to take one’s own life as a noble act of self-immolation on the altar of society.” Two cheers for a brief hiatus in the Canadian stampede towards suicide for all. Earlier this month, David […]
Chris Selley WSJ, Dec. 30, 2023 “Canada, however, is bizarrely obsessed with “equal rights”—and far more deferential than it should be to hopelessly out-of-touch judges who have driven both the legalization and expansion of euthanasia.” Canada’s Supreme Court held in 2015 that people with “a grievous and irremediable medical condition” had a […]
Maria Cheng AP, Aug. 11, 2022 “Canada prides itself on being liberal and accepting, “but what’s happening with euthanasia suggests there may be a darker side.” Alan Nichols had a history of depression and other medical issues, but none were life-threatening.
