Antisemitism is WAY down the list. Let’s deal with anti-indigenous sentiment and anti-Palestinian sentiment and anti-Sikh sentiment, all of which are much more of a problem. And then we can deal with mental health issues, housing issues and water access issues.

Antisemitism exists, but it’s much smaller than any of those topics, except in select political circles.

To those down voting:

People should know where the prime minister stands on the issues, and that this event took place. Downvoting a news article makes people less informed.

If you disagree or are frustrated by the content of the article, and want to downvote something, you can do so on my next comment.

Feel free to downvote this comment instead of the post

It's definitely important to see what the PM decides to focus on and communicate. Canadians need to be more politically involved rather than avoid their political leaders.

And that's one of the main reason downvotes shouldn't exist. You're 100% correct.

We're upset by Israel's genocide, that's very different
