Canada’s Jewish community has contributed immeasurably to this country’s intellectual, cultural, and civic life, and a Canada that cannot protect one of its communities from targeted hatred and violence is a Canada that has failed its own foundational promise. If we are serious about building a nation worthy of leading in this century, we must be equally serious about defending every community that makes this country what it is. Allowing antisemitism to take root unchallenged does not only threaten Jewish Canadians, it corrodes the institutional trust, pluralism, and social cohesion that are Canada’s greatest long-term strengths.
