While it’s important see the Canadian government condemning this horrific terror attack targeting Jews in France, it’s concerning to see a lack of reflection on domestic extremism and radicalization here at home, mere days after 100s of Jewish institutions were in the crosshairs.

This was the ugly scene yesterday at Toronto Metropolitan University that greeted new and returning students at the annual clubs fair. As Jewish students gathered at the Hillel table, protesters screamed for “Intifada” and demanded “Zionism off our campus”. Let’s be clear, this is vile antisemitic

The mask is off. During a recent webinar, Toronto-based anti-Israel and BDS activist Firas Al-Najim referred to Jewish people as "deviant Jews" who "have a very treacherous and very deceiving manner" and who know how to "work with the media...convince

Melanie Joly’s reckless decision to ban arms sales to Israel, impeding its ability to defend itself against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, are likely to earn the Liberal government another thank you from the terrorists. This move flies in the face of Canada’s longstanding commitment
