Fueled by progressive dogma that refuses to acknowledge anti-Western extremism, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has allowed Montreal to become the hottest antisemittic hotbed in the Americas.

There is an old saying that when the United States sneezes, Canada catches a cold. Recent events in Canada, however, suggest that the US should immunize itself from a dangerously virulent virus that has swept across the nation — nowhere more so than in Montreal: Open Jew hatred.
According to the Toronto Sun, last year, Montreal has endured the most antisemitic hate crimes of any city in North America.
Indeed, since the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre in Israel, antisemitic incidents in Canada have increased by an astounding 670%.
Canadian Jews — a miniscule 1.4% of the nation’s population — were the victims of 70% of religious-based hate crimes during roughly the same period.
Jewish schools in Montreal have been shot at, and Montreal universities, including my home university of Concordia, have become cesspools of anti-Jewish harassment.
As a Jewish professor who has weighed in publicly on these difficulties, the situation has gotten so precarious that I have taken an unpaid leave from Concordia University and joined Northwood University in Michigan.
Last week, Montreal was rocked by violent protests laden with antisemitic overtones.
Aggressive agitators shattered shop windows, tossed smoke bombs and torched cars. An owner of a Second Cup Café franchise, ironically located at Montreal’s Jewish General Hospital, was caught on camera expressing genocidal hate of the Jews.
Where is all of this Jew hatred coming from?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other leading Canadian and Quebec politicians seized on an anti-NATO/pro-Palestine protest held last Friday in Montreal to amplify their efforts to smear all those opposing the Gaza genocide, and the crimes of Canadian imperialism and its allies around the world, as “antisemites.”
The demonstration, organized by Divest for Palestine and the anarchist Convergence of Anti-Capitalist Struggles (CLAC), was held late Friday afternoon to coincide with the 70th annual session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, which the Canadian government hosted in Montreal from November 22-25. Early Friday evening, clashes erupted between police and a small subset of the protesters, resulting in acts of petty vandalism and three arrests.
Without providing any evidence, the Canadian political establishment and media immediately presented the events that unfolded on Friday night as an “antisemitic riot.” Trudeau railed on X against “appalling” scenes in Montreal. “Acts of antisemitism, intimidation, and violence must be condemned wherever we see them,” he declared.
Trudeau added menacingly that the RCMP was in touch with the local police, noting that “there must be consequences and rioters held accountable.”
Speaking from the Halifax International Security Forum, where she was plotting with Ottawa’s imperialist allies as how to escalate the NATO-instigated war against Russia and otherwise advance their common predatory global ambitions, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said that “violence, hate and antisemitism” have “no place on our streets.” Defense Minister Bill Blair, who was also in attendance at the Forum, claimed, “This was anarchy. It was an engagement in violence and hatred on display in the city of Montreal.” Similarly, Quebec’s right-wing ethno-chauvinist premier, CAQ leader François Legault, spoke of witnessing “violent and hateful scenes” and “attacks specifically targeting the Jewish community.”
