OTTAWA – Some Toronto-area synagogues are finding themselves shut out of a federal program meant to fund security measures for targets of hate crimes, despite a worrying spike in antisemitism in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in Israel.
The allegations are contained within a letter sent Wednesday to Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc from Conservative party deputy leader Melissa Lantsman — calling on the federal government to put their money where their mouth is on protecting Canada’s Jewish communities.
