Today’s Toronto Police Service update should concern every Canadian. Police described a pattern in which criminals-for-hire are being recruited to carry out attacks, including shootings at synagogues and Jewish schools, with the goal of spreading fear and intimidation.

This comes at a time when extremists at home and foreign actors abroad have weaponized events in the Middle East to fuel hatred and violence against Canadians.

The perpetrators of these shootings and those directing these attacks on Canadian soil must be held accountable. This is a matter of safeguarding Canada's national security and our Canadian way of life.
