Oct 23, 2021: On my morning jog, I spot white birds hanging out with blackbirds, but somehow they know to hang out with their own kind. How do they even know what they look like? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciUHz4u3EAA
Summary of my day | Aug 30, 2021 - Joined my mom and niece and nephew for my mom’s zoom exercise class. Got briefed on a pitch project for an ad agency. Worked on the writing. Interviewed a comedienne in LA. Got briefed to help with another part of the project. Interviewed a woman Podcaster. Played hangman with my niece and nephew before bed.
Ideas I had:
The comedian woman said she just had funny ideas and cited to do stand up. So you can just do it. Like with anything, just do it. The podcast or woman said number one in her book of things to do to be successful is to change your mindset. You can change your outside without changing inside. I take that to mean just be positive and focus on what you can change and take action.
I decided I should just have one Facebook group where I teach all my things. And I can post my podcasts in it and we can discuss what we learned from each episode.

Video 11 from #elxn43 #Thornhill debate hosted by B’nai Brith Canada. Green Party candidate Josh Rachlis answers an audience question: What should we do about Trudeau's old costumes where he darkened his skin? I explain the problems with going into everyone's past and judging them by today's standards. I talk about how Ben Shapiro notes that this will prevent any normal people from entering politics.

These were the 4 original questions:
4 B’nai Brith Questions, 2 Minute Responses + 30 Second Replies
Each candidate gives 2 minute response, then can ask for one 30 second reply each
1. Combatting Antisemitism in Canada: B’nai Brith’s 2018 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents recorded 2,041 incidents in Canada, representing a 16.5% increase over 2017 and a new and unwelcome national high. Statistics Canada recently confirmed that in 2016, 2017 and 2018, Jews were the most targeted group in Canada for hate crimes. Do you accept the need for a national plan to combat antisemitism,
including the key elements of the eight-point plan proposed by B’nai Brith Canada? (see pages 4-5 and 29-30 of the Audit here: http://bnaibrith.ca/audit)
2. Canada, like other free nations, robustly participates in the United Nations to address many global concerns. However, many critics, including B’nai Brith Canada, have advocated against certain institutional unfairness within the United Nations, and its affiliated agencies, including an anti-Israel bias at the UN Human Rights Council and the World Health Agency, and Canadian Development Assistance funding for UNWRA schools that continue to inculcate a sense of hate towards Israel and the Jewish people. Canada may be elected to a future United Nations Security Council. How would you advocate for necessary UN reforms?
3. Rejecting Boycotts of Israel: Over the past decade, opponents of the Jewish State of Israel have
attempted to isolate it internationally by subjecting it and its citizens to a antisemitic program of
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). In 2016, the House of Commons overwhelmingly voted to
condemn the BDS Movement as an obstacle to peace. Do you agree that the BDS Movement is beyond
the pale as an attempt to resolve the Israeli-Arab conflict?
4. Supporting Strong Social Services: B’nai Brith Canada is an important provider of affordable,
sustainable housing and this country’s Jewish community has long made the provision of social services
to the less fortunate a top priority. What will your priority be to ease the burden on lower-income
Canadians, especially as the cost of living continues to rise?
