TORONTO: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Monday a new federal advisory council to combat antisemitism, warning that a surge in hate crimes means the country is failing to protect Jewish Canadians. Speaking at a Toronto synagogue, Carney said antisemitism in Canada “has surged to levels not seen in the post-war period.” Of 1,342 religion-based hate crimes reported in 2024, roughly 70 percent targeted the Jewish community, which makes up about 1 percent of Canada’s population, government data shows.

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney is today set to share more details on how the government is looking to combat antisemitism and hate in Canada.
