Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, was a British statesman, Conservative politician and writer who twice served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party, defining its policies and its broad outreach. Disraeli is remembered for his influential voice in world affairs, his political battles with the Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone, and his one-nation conservatism or "Tory democracy". He made the Conservatives the party most identified with the British Empire and military action to expand it, both of which were popular among British voters. He is the only British prime minister to have been born Jewish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Disraeli

Ute Daniels "Postheroische Demokratiegeschichte" ist zwar schon ein paar Jahre alt, aber trotzdem ein gutes Buch, um zu verstehen, warum unser demokratisches System so funktioniert wie es eben funktioniert. Eine kleine Rezension.

Happy extraordinarily-late #Hanukkah! #Disraeli, QC was originally called Black Creek, and renamed to Disraeli 1877 in honour of Benjamin Disraeli, the PM of Great Britain in 1868.
According to the StatsCan, there are no Jewish people Disraeli. The town is overwhelmingly of French-Catholic heritage. I'm not sure how "appropriate" it is to have the sole Jewish cancel in Canada represented by a place that has no ties or significance to Jewish-Canadians and has no Jewish residents 🤔
