DoorDash brings delivery-based DashMart grocery and convenience stores to Canada

The continuing debate over the Canadian Museum for Human Rights’ Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present exhibit has focused significantly on what the exhibit leaves out.

Some critics argue that the exhibit should have explained the United Nations Partition Plan, the Arab rejection of that plan, the 1948 invasion by neighbouring Arab states, the displacement of Jews from Arab countries, Hamas, October 7, the hostages and the reasons for Israeli security measures.

Others argue with equal conviction that it should also have addressed the Deir Yassin massacre, the expansion of Israeli settlements, decades of occupation, the Right of Return, changing demographic realities and the experiences of Palestinian refugees throughout the Middle East.

All of those subjects matter. Many remain the subject of legitimate scholarly debate. But the controversy points to a broader question that extends well beyond this particular exhibit.

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My ex-wife just moved back to town and looks like a changed woman. She spent years married to me, and our kids just graduated in a city where we once lived together. That was without help from me, other than minor financial stuff.

She has found a great new job back in Winnipeg and she’ll do very well. I admire her more than any other woman I ever met, but she’s not interested in me at all.

I once had a solid, responsible job and then got into drinking, and I cheated on her. That’s why she left town. Now I’ve been sober and sorry for many years.

I asked her last weekend if I could take her out to dinner and she said no and changed the subject.
