Anti-Semitic incidents rise to record level in Canada
JTA, 26/04/18
Canada had a record number of anti-Semitic incidents in 2017, B’nai Brith Canada reported in its annual audit.
There were 752 incidents of harassment, vandalism and violence, a 1.4% increase over the record 1,728 last year, according to the Audit of Antisemitic Incidents released Tuesday.
The vast majority of the incidents took place in Canada’s two largest provinces: Ontario recorded nearly half the total, with 808, while Quebec had 474. The rest were scattered among the nation’s eight other provinces.
Acts of anti-Semitic vandalism doubled to 322 from 158 in what the audit called a “whopping national increase.”
The audit also saw as a “disturbing anti-Semitic trend” a rise in anti-Semitism from both the far right and far left of the political spectrum.
