Another one!
If I were an Israeli, I'd vote for Esmail Qaani.

Black and Jewish voters are more Democratic than any other groups. We are waving a giant red flag that says El Sayed is not the direction for our party.
🚨CNN Panelist and Democratic Activist Van Jones SLAMS Abdul El-Sayed for his failure to make bridges in Jewish and Black communities across Michigan and notes that hundreds of Rabbis from across America have condemned Abdul’s extremist rhetoric and extremist associations.

Just to state the obvious: It’s entirely possible to oppose aid to Israel— whether on moral, foreign policy, or financial grounds — without promoting the fiction that such aid, or Israel itself, is responsible for what Americans pay for their groceries.

In other election news, I wish we got fun ads like this in Canada.
Eisenkot's closing ad with English captions ... I'm manifesting Israel electing their first person of color (Moroccan, Mizrahi) leader tomorrow. maybe he can lean on Arab parties' support to form a minority government without the ultra-orthodox parties so that they can force the ultra-orthodox to pay their taxes and serve in the military

High quality, classy speeches from Chow and Bradford. What a great example for everybody in politics!

Congratulations @DavidWestRH - one of the two best mayors in Ontario. With only 83%, he is behind the other, @_JohnTaylor, who was acclaimed. Some of us in York Region are very lucky!

How many pollsters use multiple languages in the GTA?

Bonnie was gracious in her concession speech. Parrish is calling the voters stupid and showing who she really is. #MississaugaVotes

I appreciate this statement from Bonnie and wish her all the best. #onpoli
BREAKING: Bonnie Crombie is apologizing for suggesting to @readpolicorner that the Liberal label “wasn’t a good fit” for her. “My wording was imprecise, and I’m so sorry for the confusion I caused” she says in a statement, with half an hour left to vote. Full statement:

As somebody who always liked and supported Bonnie, I'm very disappointed in what she said. I understand that she was hurt, but 58% of OLP convention delegates put their confidence in her at the leadership review and we deserve better. I gather she thought she needed to say this to win in Mississauga, but it goes too far. Win or lose, I hope she withdraws this comment after the results are announced. #onpoli
Replying to @ahmadelbayoumi
In a scathing statement, Fraser says if Crombie “believes she was never comfortable being a Liberal, I think that probably speaks for itself.” “Being an Ontario Liberal isn’t something you wear when it’s comfortable. It’s something you believe in,” he adds. Full statement:

Fortunately, Bonnie has clarified what she meant.

If you are voting in Richmond Hill wards 1, 2 or 4 today, I highly recommend Nicole Nikolaidis.

Stop trying to convince me that El Sayed is not an antisemite. Yes, Israel gets a lot of money from the US, but Jordan, Ethiopia, and the Congo get the same amount when added together. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why he’s only talking about Israel.
This is one of the most comical ads this election cycle. Yes, Americans are chatting at the grocery store about how they can’t buy groceries because their tax dollars “go to Israel” 🙄 😂 nevermind the fact that Israel has invested 100% of military aid in the U.S. economy since Oct 7, and has also purchased over $1 billion *additional* in arms, according to DoD. Federal military aid is also prohibited from being spent on anything other than U.S. arms, so the line about healthcare is even more comical. El Sayed and his Islamist fans like Cenk Uygur want and expect American voters to be so stupid they never check. Not only is this ad insane, conspiratorial, and antisemitic — it is also flat out false. El Sayed isn’t for the people of Michigan, he isn’t even for America. He is for the Muslim Brotherhood.

This caught on in ways that I did not expect. To be clear, I'm Canadian! I am not suggesting that anybody should vote for this guy's Republican opponent. As a Jew, I'm commenting on the communications because we have similar arguments in our country. I'm glad I don't need to vote in this race, because I wouldn't like any of the options.

Contrary to the ad, in the last three years Israel has spent over $15 billion on US missile defense products while it received under $11 billion. Overall, Israel spends up to $10 billion a year on US military products. If anything, that money is a subsidy to US military suppliers.

New theory about BC turnout that haven’t seen. Last election, many centrist Liberal types were willing to vote for the NDP to stop the Conservatives. This time, they were not. #cdnpoli

Relatively normal and likeable dude replaces deeply unpleasant and polarizing political animal as leader of conservative party and wins massively, in what is surely a fluke one-off with no broader meaning or significance that anyone should pay attention to or ponder in any way.

To what extent are changes to the federal Liberal Party’s organizational structures since 2014 responsible for the decline of provincial Liberal parties? #cdnpoli
