Michael Levitt 🇨🇦🎗️
Late this afternoon, I had the opportunity to speak by phone w/ Mississauga Mayor @carolynhparrish. I urged her to condemn the upcoming vigil for mass murderer and former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, scheduled to take place in Mississauga on Nov 26. Shamefully, she repeatedly refused and stressed that she would not be taking a position. As a former MP, I’ve always felt the primary duty of any elected official is to protect our democratic values and public safety. She has done the opposite. Her failure to be an upstander at such a critical time will embolden the extremists and those who seek to endanger not just the Jewish community but all Canadians. Once again, I urge her to speak out. We are all watching.
