The CJN's political panel reflects on a tumultuous year for Jews—and an even worse week for Justin Trudeau

JL;DR SUMMARY The CJN's political panel discusses the political upheaval in Canada, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau facing calls to resign and the implications for Jewish Canadians, particularly in light of rising antisemitism. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
