“The government ignored people treating Jewish people badly, and now it is out of control. In just one week, people hung effigies of Jews, called for an end to Canada's Jewish community, and tore down posters of a missing Jewish girl. I want the government to admit this is a crisis.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government spent years ignoring and enabling anti-Semitism in Canada. We are now watching the consequences unfold in real time. In a single week in the country, effigies of Jews were hung in Montreal in the streets, while genocidal slogans were chanted. Government-funded organizations openly discussed a Jew-free Canada. Posters of a missing 14-year-old girl were torn down because she was Jewish. That is in just one week in Canada. Will any member on that side of the House get up and admit that we are in a full-blown crisis?”
