Carney Pledges Action on Antisemitism Amid Debate Over New Anti-Hate Council Appointments
The prime minister announced federal measures to combat antisemitism, which has surged since October 7, according to government officials.
- On Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a seven-member Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion at Toronto's Holy Blossom Synagogue, stating Canada is "failing Jewish Canadians" as antisemitic hate crimes reached post-World War II highs.
- Threats and attacks against Canadian Jews have surged since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel; critics argued the speech missed a chance to speak frankly by omitting "Israel" and "Zionism."
- Conservative politicians and Jewish leaders criticized the council's seven members, including lawyer Avnish Nanda representing pro-Palestinian campus activists and former Liberal Party lawmaker Omar Alghabra, citing vetting concerns and past lobbying claims regarding Hezbollah.
- Jewish Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman said Carney's speech showed "he thinks you are stupid," arguing the admission of failure required concrete actions rather than studies; Poilievre questioned Alghabra's suitability.
- Defending the council's composition, Maytal Kowalski of JSpaceCanada told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that attacks on the Arab member were "rooted in racism," while Independent Jewish Voices welcomed the government's decision to unite antisemitism and Islamophobia efforts.
