If ever there was a time in our lives when the adage strength in numbers applies, this is it. It is us - those who live in Neil's riding of Mount Royal and those with a voice to influence others in our riding that will help Neil across the finish line. He cannot do this on his own.
Everybody counts.
Every single vote will count.
***
Let's start with his well known moniker: Oberman the Doberman.
Neil Oberman has been a practicing lawyer for over 25 years. Note the word practicing. He did not live off your dime. He actually works for a living and will continue to do so throughout the campaign.
He has many accredidations but we will not bore you with all of them. Just a few highlights: He was the Governor of the Quebec Bar Foundation, he is the founding member Quebec Jewish Legal Alliance of lawyers, is this year's winner of the Human Rights Award from Lord Reading Law Society for advocacy work and he regularly represents diverse clientele before the Court of Quebec, the Superior Court, and the Quebec Court of Appeal.
Oberman, who is of course fluently bilingual, is no lightweight and that's what we need.
Anthony Housefather may be the nicest guy on earth but he's attached at the hip to Justin who is an egomaniacal fool, embarrassing us countless times all over the world. He has yet to visit Israel since October 7 or watch the IDF video of hamas's brutality on that day.
Justin has not supported any Jewish community in Canada. If you think that saying this is not who we are is support take the needle out of your arm. It does less than nothing to stop the rampant antisemitism occuring on a daily basis. The encampment and now 'summer camp for hamas' at McGill is a perfect example.
Justin remains silent, choosing to go to the gay pride parade rather than march in unity with the Jews of his country.
Here's some breaking news in case you forgot:
Nice doesn't cut it any longer as we are witnessing from the endless attacks on both the Jewish people and Jewish institutions on Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Hamilton and many other communities in Canada.
The days of tut tutting that this is not who we are over. Empty words do nothing to stop people from shooting into Jewish schools, synagogues and restaurants.
And what do we mean by having a seat at the table?
It means that until Housefather, almost every federally elected candidate in the Mount Royal riding was appointed a cabinet position. As will happen when Oberman wins - G-d willing.
Housefather never, ever had a seat at the table and was never getting one. Justin kept him groveling for a small piece of the pie and Anthony kept begging for a little bit more. A perfect example of this is Anthony's fear of leaving the party. Justin finally gave him the time of day - for ten minutes - promising him the sun, moon and stars.
What came of this? Nothing. Justin has not moved the needle one inch in terms of protecting - physically - the Jews of Canada.
Neil cannot accomplish this on his own.
Remember this: Elections are a numbers game. The winner is the one with the most votes. The adage there is strength in numbers is what this game is all about.
For the first time in many years we have been given a chance to send a message to the rest of the world: the people of Canada are done with a pretty-boy leader wearing fancy socks with air between his ears.
And we're done with all his minions - including Anthony Housefather.
We'll talk...
