A 34-year-old man is facing multiple charges in connection to an allegedly hate-motivated assault in Vaughan, police say.
In a news release Tuesday, York Regional Police said they were called on Saturday at around 1:45 p.m. to the area of Bathurst Street and Flamingo Road for a reported assault.
Investigators said four Jewish adults were walking home from a synagogue in the area when they were approached by a man on an electric bike.
Canadian universities are facing a series of proposed class-action lawsuits that accuse the schools of failing to protect their Jewish students from antisemitism and discrimination.
The latest, launched last week, is aimed at McMaster University. Other class-action claims involve Queen’s University, Toronto Metropolitan University, York University, Concordia University and the University of British Columbia. In several cases, the suits also name the university’s student union.
Mayor Olivia Chow’s grip on being Toronto’s chief magistrate is literally skating on thin ice.
And there needs to be some major adjustments for the mayor and others to prevent the city from falling through.
Neither Chow nor Ford will do much beyond mouthing the usual empty platitudes. Both crave those GTA Mohammedan votes.
The GTA has a larger Muslim population than Dearbornistan. The first I visited Dearborn I sensed evil. I feel the same way about the GTA today.

Days after a Jewish-owned deli in North York was set on fire in a suspected hate crime, a Toronto deputy mayor and city councillor are calling on the federal government to investigate the incident as a possible act of terrorism.
“We’re trying to emphasize the need to treat what happened here last week as an incredible escalation of what’s happening in the city. An incredible tipping point,” Deputy Mayor Michael Colle said at a news conference Monday alongside Coun. James Pasternak, calling the arson an act of “hideous, targeted intimidation.”
Terrorism? So are 100 torched churches come to think of it. But the law is never applied equally in Canada.
Video of Toronto police officers delivering coffee to anti-Israel protesters illegally occupying a major thoroughfare has intensified calls for cops to enforce the law on disruptive demonstrations.
Video posted online showed Toronto cops delivering a cardboard urn of Tim Hortons coffee to protesters occupying the Avenue Road bridge over Hwy. 401 on Saturday. The bridge has become a favourite of the anti-Israel demonstrators in recent weeks, and is located near some of Toronto’s largest Jewish neighbourhoods, which many have interpreted as an intimidation tactic against Jewish people.
Did police overreach with charges that followed the pro-Palestinian protest against Heather Reisman? How the actions of the “Indigo 11” are being judged.
Under the cover of darkness, a group gathered in downtown Toronto with posters, paint and a plan.
The pro-Palestinian activists were there to make a splash — something that would visibly link an iconic Canadian business to the killing of thousands of civilians in the Gaza Strip.
They had picked a target long linked to support of Israel: Indigo and its CEO, Heather Reisman.

Like the Covid shutdowns and the riots of 2020 before them, the Hamas atrocities of October 7 revealed the ongoing moral and political catastrophe of the West. Hamas initiated a war against Israel that immediately turned into a war against Jews everywhere. That much was clear when its opening salvo—an orgy of rape, torture, murder, and kidnapping—received fervent support among leftists worldwide. From London to Sydney and points in between, the intifada, as Lee Smith observes, has gone global.

Pro-Palestinian protests since the October 7th Hamas terror attacks on Israel have cost the British taxpayer over £20 million in policing expenses, a government review has found.
Hamas’s violent Oct. 7 attack against Israel has led to pro-Palestinian demonstrations of varying sizes around the world and a significant increase in antisemitism in Canadian cities, on a scale not witnessed since the end of the Second World War.
Toronto has experienced several pro-Palestinian demonstrations in front of the clothing chain Zara at the Eaton Centre shopping mall. It led to a tense verbal jousting last month between a masked demonstrator and passers-by, with the protester yelling, “I’ll lay you out on the floor” and threatening to put an unidentified individual “six feet deep.”
Pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed three bridges and the Holland Tunnel in Lower Manhattan, blocking off traffic and creating chaos late Monday morning.
Demonstrators from the “Shut it Down for Palestine” rally marched through City Hall Park before groups of them descended on the bridges and tunnels, police said.
Watching the terrified faces of the four bloodstained teenage girls being paraded by Hamas gunmen was beyond their parents’ worst nightmare.
The haunting images were taken just hours after they were kidnapped and Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Daniela Gilboa and Agam Berger appeared shadows of their former selves.
Three months have passed since that recording of them lined up against a wall in Gaza, their hands bound behind them – and still they are in captivity.

Hezbollah and foreign media reports claimed on Monday that the IDF killed Wissam al-Tawil, known as Jawad, a key operations commander in southern Lebanon, in an air strike in Khirbat Salem, Lebanon.
It was unclear if Jawad, a reportedly significant figure within Hezbollah, had been killed as part of ongoing exchanges of fire between the IDF and Hezbollah or whether he was specifically targeted.
The underground explosion, just before noon, could barely be heard, muffled by tons of earth covering the suspected Hamas tunnel.
On the surface in Gaza City the detonation of thousands of kilograms of explosives felt like a small earthquake. Even the heavy tanks securing the Israeli operational perimeter bounced from the shock. The effect on the buildings remaining nearby, however, was barely discernible.
