Jamie Sarkonak: Canada not ‘engulfed’ in antisemitism — for the most part, study says
Aside from a few pockets, most of Canada is still morally calibrated against antisemitism.
That’s my takeaway from a study that came out earlier this month on Canadian attitudes toward Jews and Israel by University of Toronto sociologist Robert Brym. He found, through surveys taken in early 2024, that Canadians with the most negative sentiments towards Jews were Muslims, Quebecers and non-Jewish university students. Those with the most negative sentiments towards Israel, meanwhile, included Muslims and non-Jewish university students, as well as NDP supporters. The rest, not so much.
