Ottawa earmarks $10 million to help protect Jewish institutions after gunfire attacks
The $10 million funding aims to enhance security at synagogues, schools, and community centers amid a surge in antisemitic incidents, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree announced $10-million to bolster security for Canada's Jewish community, with funds available to communities within days following recent synagogue shootings in the Toronto area.
- Shootings hit the Beth Avraham Yoseph in Thornhill and Shaarei Shomayim in North York over the weekend, while Temple Emanu-El in North York faced an attack last week.
- The Canada Community Security Program will distribute most funds to Toronto and Montreal, as Noah Shack, CEO at the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, cited an "escalating surge of hate" targeting Jewish Canadians.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the violence as a "fundamental violation of the Canadian way of life," while MP Evan Solomon noted the Jewish community is feeling "terrorized and scared."
- Heightened Middle East conflict involving Iran, Hezbollah, and Israel coincides with these attacks, creating a climate where communities "cannot live in fear," according to government officials.
