Just suggesting that, when addressing a roomful of reporters, the White House *express condolences* for the 192 of my Palestinian and Israeli colleagues killed in this conflict was enough to get a guy fired

This is a short, must-read thread if you want to understand what happened over the last few days with flight attendants in Canada.

In Toronto history news: Rob Ford's house has been torn down. Many a drive way media scrum/confrontation here + his chasing of a Toronto Star reporter out back. They've saved 2 walls of the house (white, along side). We must affix a plaque....
