I do not exactly read this memo as saying you can't use "Palestine". Image from the article:

Like it says you should use "Palestinian" in some cases. How can "Palestinian" exist without "Palestine"?

There are some other wild things in this note such as "Canada and many other Western Nations". Like who is deploying capital letters that way in 2023?

The vibe comes through loud and clear though; I believe the overall claims about the atmosphere.

hmmm, sorting by country CA and pasting into a spreadsheet:

  • 408 lines in total
  • each line containing an individual order of 1-28 items
  • I don't think this data shows how many of each item is ordered, only the name of each
  • 86 unique email addresses (did zero cleanup here and I see there are duplicates due to spelling errors and the same name/address using multiple email addresses)
  • of unique email addresses, here are the top cities with # of recipients: Montréal 8, Calgary 7, Québec 5, Toronto 4, Edmonton 3, Sherbrooke 3, Winnipeg 3 (I did some very simple data cleanup such as consolidating spelling variations. but I didn't do things like group suburbs into larger metro areas)
  • Sorting the unique email addresses by postal code sort of lets you eyeball geography a bit better.... by this view and all others my impression that the province of Quebec is very well represented
  • A small number of people are buying a lot of stuff. I am guessing the person who's email address contains blondie69 in Toronto is a distributor or something. They have been ordering many copies of the same items over long time. Most of them are to J.J on Jane St but a couple are to G.H on Emmet Ave. Their order is usually 3-4 items.
  • The individual email address with the most lines (54) has user name fumeurchronic and has their items mailed to an address on Place Basile-Patenaude, Montreal. Unlike blondie69, fumeurchronic has very few duplicate orders. I think this person is a real fan and collector
  • Another way to group the information would be by area code on the phone number
 

WATCH: Protesters have taken to the streets after they say students at a Halifax school were told to take off their traditional Palestinian scarves. Organizers say students wore them to class on cultural day to show pride for their community. Now they’re calling for an apology. Skye Bryden-Blom reports. – Mar 6, 2023
