SHOCKA! Muslim – Jewish Relations In Canada Considered Bad By Many According To Poll

OTTAWA — As conflicts continue to erupt around the globe, a new survey suggests that Canadians are anxious about relationships between groups here at home — particularly between Muslim and Jewish Canadians.

The survey of 1,578 Canadians, conducted by Leger Marketing for the Association for Canadian Studies between Jan. 17 and 19, 2025, asked respondents for their perceptions of relations between Muslim, Jewish, Indigenous, white and other Canadians.

Across Canada, 43 per cent of respondents said the relationship between Muslim and Jewish Canadians was “bad.”


As expected the Islamist apologists are out in force …

Deborah Lyons, Canada’s special envoy on combating antisemitism, said in a media statement that public perceptions of the relationship between Canadian Muslims and Jews don’t always reflect real life. “In truth, these communities share far more in common than many assume, including resilience and perseverance in combating hate and discrimination,” Lyons said.

“This may indeed be what Canadians think, but it reflects a false and widespread misconception that Israel-Palestine is fundamentally a religious conflict between Jews and Muslims, rather than a political issue about human rights and international law,” Bueckert said.

A 22nd-century history book on our ‘fascist’ age

Yesterday, I watched an X video of a maybe 20-something woman berating me as a Trump voter for ignorance (vincible or invincible, she couldn’t decide).  I was told that future history books would tell us how “evil” these years were in the United States.  It would not “be about Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, but quite literally of right versus wrong.  It is about having morals or not.”  That I had, as a moral theologian, apparently not noticed that was a wake-up call.  I was grateful but scared to learn I live in such apocalyptic times.

The review will consider a root-and-branch overhaul of the current education system in England, from the first year of primary school until children turn 18.
