There is an old saying that when the United States sneezes, Canada catches a cold. Recent events in Canada, however, suggest that the US should immunize itself from a dangerously virulent virus that has swept across the nation — nowhere more so than in Montreal: Open Jew hatred.
According to the Toronto Sun, last year, Montreal has endured the most antisemitic hate crimes of any city in North America.
Indeed, since the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre in Israel, antisemitic incidents in Canada have increased by an astounding 670%.
Canadian Jews — a miniscule 1.4% of the nation’s population — were the victims of 70% of religious-based hate crimes during roughly the same period.
