Newsletter – August 2
Latest from Lantsman – August 2, 2024
Fires near our Jewish institutions. Antisemitic graffiti on our kosher grocery stores, businesses, and a synagogue. Gunshots, firebombing, genocidal chants in our streets.
All this — in just two weeks. It’s never been clearer that things are simply getting out of control in Justin Trudeau’s Canada.
Our core Canadian values of freedom and liberty are under attack by a radical mob — a mob that’s being encouraged by the silence and cowardice from too many of our leaders.
I want you to know: even when everyone else is silent, I will never hesitate to speak out for what’s right. The stakes are simply too high.
And I have a simple message for you: life wasn’t like this before Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister, and it won’t be like this after he’s gone. Pierre Poilievre and I are going to restore common sense, law and order to our streets.
Until then, we’ll always be the loudest voices fighting for freedom. We can’t settle for anything less. I hope you’ll join us in speaking out and taking action.
Yours,
Melissa Lantsman

Working Hard in the Community
With the leadership of Randy and Esti Cohen and Max and Estrelle Benaim, we celebrated the Bar and Bat Mitzvahs of children of fallen heroes from Israel. I want them to know, they will ALWAYS have a place here in Canada.
Thank you to the IDF Widows and Orphans Organization and the Kehila Centre for organizing this powerful evening and providing a place for the community to be together and show our love to them as the brave and resilient future.
Great hearing from students at TRCA about their summer gigs dedicated to conservation and education in our community and across the GTA.
Excited to see the next gen of engineers, geoscientists, planners, and environmental scientists launching their careers right here in our community. 🌱
I had a very important meeting with Miss Anisha. She had a list of 7 questions for me – because she is 7 years old of course – about my job, about Ottawa, and about being a girl in politics.
Thanks for stopping by with your dad.
Met with my friends from the Giusseppe Garibaldi Seniors Club and the Vaughan Seniors Club and discussed how we can make navigating the endless red tape of government more accessible to them.
Looking forward to seeing them later this summer to celebrate with their many many members in our community.
Joining families and friends in Thornhill at the Kayla’s Children Centre Annual Family BBQ celebrating the amazing team and young people who are building bridges to better futures for people with disabilities and their families.
Thank you so much to the KCC team for organizing this event and for inviting me to join in on your celebration year after year. ❤️
Jammin’ with friends in York Centre! 🎶☀️
Always a great time with friends and families in the community, and of course, my friend Roman Baber 💪
Thanks for the warm welcome!
And thanks to everyone who brings our community together and makes this happen all summer.

Will the Other Randy Please Stand Up?
Liberal lie after Liberal lie. Scandal after scandal.
First it was “Other Randy” who was mentioned in those texts. Now it’s “autocorrect’s” fault.
What’s next in the chronicals of this latest Liberal scandal? Dog ate my homework?
OR maybe something even CRAZIER like… we already have the right person…
Lantsman in the News
Ongoing investigations on 7 separate incidents of graffiti in York Region on businesses in the largest Jewish community in 🇨🇦
Jews are rightly terrified. But what is the response from Trudeau and the Liberal government? Nothing.
That’s everything that’s happening in my world. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on all the latest.
