🇨🇦 Toronto: 12 Antisemitic Shootings and Counting, While City Hall Offers Statements

A Jewish-owned restaurant in north Toronto was riddled with bullets at 1:30 a.m. on a Friday — the 12th incident of antisemitic violence in a single wave, according to Israel's ambassador Iddo Moed, who publicly called on Mark Carney, Doug Ford, and Olivia Chow to act before it is too late. A second location of the same restaurant had already been hit last month. Three Toronto-area synagogues have also been targeted. Toronto Police deployed heavily armed officers under something called Task Force Guardian, with Deputy Chief Frank Barredo carefully reassuring the public that the sight of paramilitary-style policing outside synagogues during Passover should not cause alarm. Canada's political class spent years importing the Middle East's conflicts through mass unvetted immigration, then expressed shock when those conflicts materialised on Bathurst Street. Israel's president held a virtual meeting with Toronto's Jewish community in March. The foreign government is doing more to protect Canadian citizens than the domestic government responsible for their safety. That is the reality on the ground.
