Six months ago today, Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust. For six months, hostages have been held in Gaza in horrific conditions. For six months, antisemitism has been widespread on Canadian streets, in our centres of learning and…

Kudos to these community builders for showing courageous leadership by speaking up and offering constructive steps that can be taken to ensure that we are building the Canada that we know can exist.

Bravo à ces bâtisseurs de communautés qui ont fait preuve d'un leadership…

According to a new national poll, young Canadians are more likely than the rest of the population to believe that the Holocaust was exaggerated, and these skeptics are more likely to hold a negative view of Jews and a favourable view of Hamas. There can be no doubt that teaching…

It was a pleasure to talk with Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath today about how Hamilton came together to ensure the Hamilton Jewish Film Festival would be able to go on, bigger and better than ever. Thanks for your leadership in working with the community to say no to hate. I look…

Absolutely wonderful news! This doesn’t happen without people stepping up, standing up and speaking up. Thanks to all who had a part in that.

Une nouvelle absolument merveilleuse ! Cela n'arrive pas sans que les gens ne s'engagent, ne se lèvent et ne s'expriment. Merci à tous…

I want to be very clear. Targeting Jewish children going to school to accuse them of weaponizing the Holocaust and antisemitism is a particularly cynical manifestation of antisemitism. My office reached out to the school that was targeted but this is bigger than one school or…

Spent a special Purim in Toronto with community. Last night, I was moved to join Temple Sinai and @robinmartinpc to honour the memory of Judih Weinstein Haggai, Canadian-Israeli murdered by Hamas on Oct 7. It was meaningful to listen to Judih’s voice recordings reading her…

A call to action from the The Globe and Mail editorial board. I continue to encourage all leaders - and all Canadians - to speak up loudly and often.
“If Jewish people cannot do something as everyday as celebrate their culture because of threats of violence, and political leaders fail…

Proud to support the launch of Network of Engaged Canadian Academics today. “Antisemitism on campus was not born in the wake of October 7. But sadly we are seeing much more overt hatred, much more overt intimidation.”

Fier de soutenir le lancement du des professeur.e.s…

Thank you Mayor Andrea Horwath for pushing back on the intimidation, threats of violence and exclusion of Jews and Jewish stories from the arts and public life. We appreciate your leadership.

Merci à la mairesse Andrea Horwath de s'opposer à l'intimidation, aux menaces de…

Excellent news from the Justice Committee. Especially in the past week - but for months now - the Jewish community has faced an avalanche of antisemitism. Thank you @ahousefather and all who support a comprehensive study of antisemitism in Canada. We stand ready to support you in…

Events in Israel and around the world- and Canada's response to them- impact the lives of Canadian Jews. Today, at 11:30am EST the global Jewish community will be uniting in prayer for the immediate safe return of the hostages. there are Canadian families who still have loved…

Bien que nous apprécions les excuses de La Presse et le fait qu'elle ait rapidement retiré la caricature offensante et antisémite, il est important qu'elle clarifie la manière dont elle empêchera que cela ne se reproduise à l'avenir. Il est important de présenter des excuses,…

I appreciate Brian Masse’s statement of apology. The next step after taking responsibility is taking action to repair the harm. My offer of a meeting stands, and I encourage Mr. Masse to reach out directly and personally to the Jewish community of Windsor.

J'apprécie les…

My team would be more than willing to sit down with Brian Masse to help him understand why stating that antisemitism against Canadian Jews cannot be fixed without a ceasefire in place was an unacceptable justification of attacks on Canadian Jews. This statement in the House of…
