Update: Following our report concerning the performance of a hateful song by the artist Saint Levant, we recently met with the management of the Montreal International Jazz Festival.
The Festival's leadership assured us that the event must remain a gathering place where everyone, regardless of their background or community, can feel welcome, and that hatred toward anyone has no place in this spirit.
We will continue to advocate to ensure this festival and all cultural spaces remain safe, respectful, and free from hate.
After being targeted last week by a pro-Putin, anti-Israel activist, @Shopify President @harleyf is refusing to back down.
In an interview with the @nationalpost, he explains why he is doubling down on his fight to ensure his family—and all Jews—can live freely, safely, and openly in Canada.
Harley is absolutely right about what is needed from governments and authorities: They must vigorously enforce new and existing laws, and clearly identify the anti-Israel and antizionist extremism that is fueling attacks on Jewish Canadians.

The City of New Westminster, British Columbia, has some explaining to do...
After being alerted to an upcoming event that is being held at the City's Anvil Centre, featuring Norman Finkelstein, a vitriolic Holocaust denier and terror sympathizer, the City has dismissed B'nai Brith Canada's concerns, claiming that an event platforming Finkelstein does not contravene the City’s policies and procedures.
The City's response is hard to fathom. Their Code of Conduct prohibits behaviour, actions or language that promote discrimination, racism, hatred, or that is demeaning. New Westminster's Strategic Plan states that the City recognizes identities and values to support the development of welcoming, respectful, and inclusive processes, activities, spaces, and places.
There is nothing welcoming, respectful, or inclusive about providing a platform to an individual who distorts the scope of the Holocaust, accuses its survivors of profiting off of their experience and celebrates the October 7 massacre. Glorifying terrorism and Holocaust denial are behaviours that promote discrimination, racism, and hatred.
The question now is, why is New Westminster so willing to ignore its own Code of Conduct and Strategic Plan and give Finkelstein the opportunity to use a municipal space to spew hate and incite division? Is it because that hatred is directed at the Jewish community?
Yesterday, the Prime Minister said Canadian foreign policy should be rooted in influence, dialogue and partnership, "not lecturing countries from afar."
He made that point while discussing Canada's re-engagement with Turkey and Saudi Arabia on a variety of strategic issues, including advancing a two-state solution.
Will the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister @AnitaAnandMP apply these same principles to Israel—a democratic country and close partner of Canada for nearly 80 years?
If not, the Canadian government is demonstrating a troubling double standard.
At this week's International Conference on Contemporary Antisemitism (@UofHaifa), Professor @IrwinCotler has an important message for government leaders: antisemitism is toxic to democracies and a threat to national security.

The federal government has made it clear that @CMHR_News' controversial Nakba exhibit is a failure of governance and curation.
But as we warned it is also a dangerous example of political activism replacing historical accuracy—one that risks misinforming audiences and emboldening extremists to take hateful and violent positions, including calls for the elimination of Israel and the millions of people of all backgrounds who call it home.
As Minister Miller has said, it is now up to the Board of Trustees to do its job and hold the CEO accountable.

A new @NGOMonitor report released by @LordWalney this week in the British Parliament reveals how international funding networks are sustaining anti-Israel activism in the UK through state actors, including Iran, and foreign donors. It found that cryptocurrency was increasingly being used to hide funding sources for organizations accused of antisemitism.
It also calls for reforms to improve transparency over how the groups and charities behind pro-Palestine marches are funded.
This report reinforces the urgent need to name the problem clearly: the anti-Israel hate movement is driving extremist activity, hate and violence.
The Canadian Government and authorities should be taking a hard look at the funding, coordination, and foreign influence behind extremist movements operating here at home.

Following the federal government's call for the Board of Trustees to "do its job" and for Museum leadership to rectify @CMHR_News' errors in curation and governance surrounding its controversial "Nakba" exhibit, two former Cabinet ministers—one Liberal and one Conservative—offer a bipartisan consensus on why the exhibit is so dangerous and can exacerbate rising hatred against Canadians.
In their latest for the @nationalpost, @IrwinCotler and Joe Oliver state that "Above all, misinformation and disinformation must not be used to propagandize a political, ideological, theological or partisan agenda."

Liberals shut down debate over proposed probe into Carney condo 'bailout'.
An 'emergency' meeting was called by the Conservatives on Tuesday to launch an ethics probe into the program, which would see 2,200 unsold condo units in B.C. converted into affordable housing https://t.co/HAGoL0cvi7
Remember all the Canadian trade hampered by interprovincial barriers that Carney vowed would be dismantled by this July? We're still waiting. As NP's Simon Tuck reminds us, it's a bit of a mystery where the momentum for that initiative went https://t.co/VjQbosUPxL
The CMHR isn't just any museum. It's Canada's only national museum for human rights, entrusted with one of the world's most contested conflicts. It has a responsibility to handle that history with the care and complexity it deserves.
Canadians should be able to trust their public institutions to uphold the standards of balance, transparency, and intellectual integrity, not advance one-sided narratives. The eight omissions highlighted here make it clear that the Museum failed to live up to that responsibility.
That failure is exactly why Mark Berlin resigned from the CMHR's Board of Trustees. To hear his firsthand account of the issues surrounding the exhibit, his resignation, and the events that led up to it, visit the link here: https://t.co/v4Tp186YOf
The Museum's CEO and Board of Trustees must be held accountable. Minister Marc Miller must intervene. The Museum's operations should be investigated and suspended. Then, if the CMHR cannot correct the record and provide factual context, this exhibit has no business remaining open
To effectively combat antisemitism, our leaders must first clearly name the problem and identify its source.
In his latest contribution to @TheHubCanada, Peter L. Biro, Senior Fellow at @TheRWCHR, explains how today's dominant form of antisemitism is often expressed through antizionism that denies the Jewish people's right to self-determination. He points to this same ideology as the reason Massey College refused to host a conference on modern antisemitism.
Biro states that institutions—whether universities or taxpayer-funded museums like @CMHR_News—have a responsibility to uphold truth, not political activism.

Whitewashing Hamas terrorism. Errors in governance. Neglecting to mention Jews. Failures in curation.
These are not our descriptions of @CMHR_News' controversial Nakba exhibit. They are those of Marc Miller — the federal minister responsible for overseeing Canada's national museums.
He said these failures should be directed to the Board of Trustees, which must "do its job."
Join us in urging the Board to rectify these failures in curation and governance, and hold the Museum's CEO, Isha Khan, accountable.

As featured in the @nationalpost, the heads of CIJA, @bnaibrithcanada, and Jewish Federations across the country—organizations that collectively represent the vast majority of Canada's vibrant and deeply rooted Jewish community—have written to the @CMHR_News' Board of Trustees to address the well-documented failures surrounding the controversial "Nakba" exhibit.
The Government of Canada has now confirmed "errors in curation" and "errors in governance." These failures have undermined public trust, allowed a divisive foreign conflict to be imported into a Canadian public institution, and emboldened extremists to spread hatred toward fellow Canadians.
The Board must act to rectify these failures and hold the Museum's CEO, Isha Khan, accountable.

Mark Carney is a failed economic wizard, writes Marty York.
He had sold voters a budget based on assumptions and wishful thinking, even though former PM Stephen Harper tried to warn us about him https://t.co/8vy2ZXCcfX
