My birthday is in 1 week and I'm just grateful I made it this far
What are you grateful for today?
- Thread starter Lunaseraphim
- Start date
They announced initially bad weather for the whole week and I'm grateful it's better than expected!
Of the few times I've visited Montreal, I've seen large protests support Palestine every time, which for the longest time have been squashed in the US where it matters. It's not to say Canada is not important, but it's the US that supplies Israel with weapons, aircraft, intelligence, midair fueling and counter missile defense as well as a veto power in the UN and billions of dollars. AIPAC and other groups have had a stranglehold on establishment politics on both sides for decades. However, yesterday we saw the first major crack where every Democratic primary candidate endorsed by NYC Mayor Mamdani won with Israel being the major issue. This is an issue that for the first time has become toxic to candidates with large swaths of jewish constituents voting for these candidates, too. The rhetoric to equate antizionism with antisemitism is beginning to fall apart and the establishment, corporatist incumbent Democratic leadership is shocked. The fact that these candidates are also all socialists is the cherry on top.

Happy Birthday Luna. May your day be everything you wanted and more !
Grateful to take a long weekend out of the city
Grateful that during a summer hiatus in trips to MTL some of my favourite people are travelling my way so I get to see them closer to home.
Yeah, that's much closer to me. Still a different vibe (bc GTA traffic) but happy it lets me see some QC-QTs when they're on the road.
