The Free Press recently published the results of its extensive investigation into the alarming growth of antisemitism north of the border, showing a 670% increase in antisemitic incidents in Canada that began within weeks of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
In Toronto, for example, Nazi swastikas were plastered over a poster of one of the Jewish hostages, and a window was shattered at one of the city's synagogues.
Dr. Charles McVety, president of Canada Christian College, says Jews are afraid for their safety, and the government is not helping.
"This is something we face every day," he accounts. "It's really a soft war against both Jews and Christians."
In his view, Trudeau has only made things worse.
"Our prime minister, he chimes in and he says that he will agree with the International Court and arrest Netanyahu," McVety relays. "This just fuels the antisemites. It fuels the Hamas flag-waving supporters. They are emboldened, and it has to stop."
Meanwhile, as Fox News reported in October, Justin Trudeau is facing calls for his resignation and perhaps his toughest challenge yet as the Canadian prime minister. A year out from the election, a CBC News poll found that the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, held a 20-point lead over Trudeau's Liberals.
McVety believes the election of a Conservative government would make all the difference.
