Canadian Jews are WEAK (polite beyond the point of stupidity.) No one stood up & said,”What the hell do you mean you won’t take questions.” SHAME!

Mighty Quinn's avatar

Like the weak Jews of NYC that allowed a piece of shit like Mamdani to be elected!

Now that’s fecklessness!!!

I don’t understand why you wrote this article. Why did your synagogue invite Carney in the first place? Why were only certain Jewish organizations allowed to attend? Why was the media filtered and restricted? Are you really still that naive to believe that Carney was actually going to say anything of substance? Where are our leaders, who are our leaders, because it certainly isn’t Holy Blossom synagogue. The Prime Minister of Canada basically told a room full of people what the rest of us Jews already know. Carney doesn’t give a shit about us. It’s way past the time for us to step up to the plate. Enough!

The reason no one stood up and spoke was because the audience was made up of Liberal puppets and even the Jewish members of the Liberal Party want to stay in their seats. If Housefather of Solomon spoke against what the Lord and Master was saying, they would have been in trouble. And Evan Solomon should his true colours when he loudly berated Melissa Landsman in the Legislature when she pointed out flaws in the well versed, but ridiculous speech. This Party will be downfall of the Jewish Community and the rise of Islam in Canada, because that speech gave them an open door!

I hate to say this, but Canadian Jews, of which I am one, are totally is denial, having their Negev dinners, schmoozing, going to the gym at a JCC,and thinking all is well except for a few bad Canadians. When I tell them what is occurring in every aspect of life here, they have no idea what is happening as they watch censored CBC, CTV, or read the newspapers party funded now by Carney if they are "acceptable", that is follow the Liberal line, they look at me as if I am crazy. They are delusional, just like the pre-war German jews, who believed they were untouchable, and it would all blow over, but it has been so normalized and all main media except for the National Post and Sun papers, are in cahoots with Carney, thanks to his money being dished out, this will not end well for us Jews.

I 100% agree. I’m a formerly-Canadian Jew and they are completely the frog in boiling water phenomenon. It’s bad everywhere, but Canada is so much worse than the US.

Crime Sinister Carnage is the worst. Please move to Alberta. We love Jews here, and are aching for your peaceful and beautiful culture to enrich our own. Alberta wants so badly to have its tax dollars no longer be wasted funding UNWRA. But we need your votes to help us achieve that goal. Please move to Alberta. Together we can free ourselves from the waste factory in Ottawa.

I'll admit that I know that we would become a horrible state if we separate under the UCP. but, by all that's dear, with any other leadership it would be something worth considering.

A. C. Rosenthal's avatar

I think that the beauty of separating under the UCP, is that once the separation has taken place the government can change and the province can follow its own path without having its pocket picked by Ottowa. The worldview that we shouldn’t become an independent country, because we might have governments that not everyone loves all the time, is thoroughly ridiculous. Because that is ALREADY THE CASE. Except at the moment, we could have TWO governments that we don’t always like at the same time. Provincial and Federal. However, If Alberta was its own country, We could only have one crappy government at a time. Or a good one. But never two bad ones.

Mark Carney is a disgrace and so is the Canada he purports to lead. Of course he could not name the disgraceful attacks own Jews because to do would require his government stop attacking and betraying Israel. Instead, it colludes with the antisemites who demonize Israel, demonize Zionism, and attack Jews in the name of the same lies the government of Canada peddles. O Canada, no one stand son guard for thee.

A. C. Rosenthal's avatar

Help Alberta separate and the funding of UNWRA will have to stop. Alberta makes the money Ottowa wastes.

What a despicable and dangerous leader

I have to give him a bit of credit for standing up to tRump. But what was described at this speech was pure cowardice.

Paul Appleby's avatar

He never stood up to Trump. Trump laughed at him. He's like the chihuahua barking at the pit-bull from across the street.

Abi Gezunt's avatar

From the standpoint of one living in the US under an increasingly fascist and unconstitutional regime, under tRump who once called 'Nazis' good ("good people on both sides"), Mark Carney actually did actively stand up to Donald tRump. He imposed retaliatory tariffs, sharply criticized Trump's trade policies, and refused to back down on Canadian sovereignty at the last meeting at Davos in January 2026.

That may seem unimportant to you, and i definitely understand why. Still it was "front page news" for many independent and even mainstream American media outlets at the time. It didn't address antiSemitism. It did address issues much of the US finds noxious about tRump.

Paul Appleby's avatar

All you listed didn't accomplish a thing except to do the opposite Carnie Carney thought it would do. By the way, please check the transcript of Trump's speech at Charlottesville. He never ever praised the nazis. Even snopes admitted that. He said clearly there are good people on the side that wanted to tear down the statue and on the side that didn't.

Abi Gezunt's avatar

Carney's Davos speech made Americans feel better. Didn't help Canada. Didn't help Jewish people. Like i said. Point taken. But living with tRump on this side of the aisle, when our own politicians are not fighting back, when getting the opposition party (Democrats) to stop acting like fighting cats (it's depressing), Carneys words meant something to some Americans. And our media outlets who oppose tRump really made Carney sound impressive. Clearly not to all Canadians.

As for praising Nazis: tRump's private remarks as recounted by former aides, and his use of political rhetoric that historians and advocacy groups have compared to fascist language, does not make him a Nazi, but his actions do make him a fascist authoritarian. He does not follow laws, the Constitution, and is enriching himself and his family. He's a mobster, if not a Nazi.

His comments about the Charlotteville March, where Swastika flags flew on “full display” that there were "very fine people on both sides" was as close to an approval to people marching on the streets against Jews was within an inch of Nazi approval. Former White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly told The Atlantic and the New York Times that Trump privately praised the loyalty of Adolf Hitler’s generals and made comments admiring Hitler's leadership. None of this makes tRump an actual Nazi, but it doesn't give Jews or other citizens a warm & fuzzy feeling. Organizations that track extremism, such as the Anti-Defamation League, have historically criticized Trump's rhetoric as bigoted and dangerous while stopping short of officially categorizing his broader ideology. And if you listen to how he vilifies non-caucasian people in the US, the lies he tells about them, well, many Americans absolutely see parallels to Hitler. Why? We are in the US are living under an increasingly fascist and unconstitutional regime.

Nothing to do with Trump. It’s his own dreadful policies

Although present in the Holy Blossom Temple, Prime Minister Carney spoke not to the Jewish Community present but to "all Canadians".

Did he actually plan to directly address the community concerns or, as was apparent speak as though they were not present ?

Certainly a missed opportunity by design. How he avoided citing the Israeli massacre on Oct 7th and anything connecting our communities to Israel and what actually is Zionism is both unforgivable and worrisome.

PM Carney, when 1% of the Canadian population is subjected to 70% of reported hate crimes in this country, you have a unique problem that requires an aggressive political, legal and public security response all too absent for the past 3 years.

The announced new initiative Ministry with dubious experts will fail to change our reality.

Carney's speech was emotionally hollow, far from reassuring and a major disappointment for Canadian Jews.

Johanus Haidner's avatar

Carney is an antisemite, plain and simple. But because he's a politician he has to hide it as much as he can until it's too late for us. Then we'll be really looking for ways out of Canada!

Bonnie Geller's avatar

What do you expect? He went through Catholic schools right through high school, and is an ardent Irish Catholic.

My question is why any Canadian Jew other than Jewish Liberal MPs who now are always grovelling on their bellies to their fascist god, Carney, actually showed up to this petty value-signalling show where Carney lectured us Jews as if we were responsible for the Jew hatred against us and to top things off, making even a bigger mockery, finding out Carney has created a council to combat Jew hatred among other hates, with two Islamists including one who is friends with a terrorist, a Queers for Palestine type individual, and another Jew hating activist, and only one Jew. Remember how Carney treated the Muslims? In their mosque, he infamously stated "Canadian values are Muslim values". It was a love in , while now openly treating Jews as third class hated citizens who needed a stern warning to behave ourselves. British and Australian Jews showed their feeling about their PMs by booing and hissing and telling them go jump in the lake, while Canadian Jews politely sat there being humiliated, and did not utter one word of condemnation for his disgusting lecture. No wonder very few non-Jewish Canadians are supporting us here in Canada when we cannot even tell Carney in no uncertain terms that he is the cause of this, and we will remember this for ever. We have not one leader who is not a "ghetto" Jew, subservient, polite, begging for forgiveness for being Jewish, or stating I am a Jew, but believe "evil" Israel should be eradicated along with seven million Israeli Jews. They are not acting as our leaders of 2026 but of 1980. They should be telling us the truth which is Canadian Jews should consider leaving as Canada has past the time to be able to return to what we had even ten years ago. The Jew hating genie has been let out of the bottle, and now that it has been normalized in every aspect of our lives, we will never recover after five or ten more years of Jew hatred led by the Liberal Party, and Carney. The Jews who sit as Liberal MPs should be thought of as Jews who supported the destruction of the Second Temple, and those who aided the enemy of the Jews throughout our very long history, because that is exactly what they are, and other Jews should shun them in our communities until they get that message.

Gentry progressives and the entire global managerial ruling class (which basically overlap) are never going to lift a finger to help Jews and will do nothing more than make empty speeches filled with dead platitudes about the brotherhood of man and the eradication of all phobias etc...

The reason for this is because the war they're fighting is not Israel/Palestine or Jews/Muslims but the cold civil war we've been living through for a decade across the West that pits globalist liberals vs nationalist populists in a battle for total political control.

The globalist liberals have chosen to abandon Jews and Israel for a variety of reasons, including: there are many more Muslims, their numbers are constantly increasing, they passionately hate Jews and they are willing to spill blood to prove it; our professional-managerial class, which includes media, academia and culture, have converted to the faith of Social Justice ideology which considers Critical Anti-Zionism as sacred dogma and posits Israel as a military monster whose entire existence is a single war crime and which needs to be destroyed in the name of Justice and Equality, and this belief is held passionately by their employees, donors, activists, not to mention their own children; globalists of all persuasions (Christians, communists and now both Leftists and corporatists) have always opposed Jewish particularism, they demand that everyone abandon faith and nation, but Jews first; and lastly, the global MSM (CNN BBC NPR CBC etc) feeds off Jewish and Arab blood and treats Palestinians like crippled children, who always need to be heeded and protected by our globalist white saviors. Their eternal jihad has been converted into a lucrative profit stream.

All of these powerful entities have coalesced around Critical Anti-Zionism and use it as a weapon in their quest for total power, much like how previously they used Critical Race and Gender zealots to divide and conquer and give themselves both a class of permanent clients and allies as well as using their supposed adoration of the marginalized as a way to broadcast their obvious moral and intellectual superiority.

Jews are once again disposable and the odd tribe out. And probably the greatest irony here is that all of these professional haters of Israel prove why a Jewish state was created and why it is needed.

Maybe the Muslim vs. Jew thing IS what's behind the surge of antisemitism disguised as antiZionism all around us. To staff it, Jihad -by-migration has been successfully accomplished throughout the West. There is the Islamic end-of-days imperative to kill every Jew, where even a rock or tree calls out, "Oh Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me; come and kill him." Maybe some small part of the wealth and power of the oil-producing states in the Middle East has been directed towards shaping the pervasive anti-Israel narrative all over the West. Do ya think? I don't deny the role of the Soviet Union in formulating its own pro-"Palestinian" mythology for consumption by Western Leftists, nor the current support for it by a CCP - controlled social media platform and their other foundations. But those efforts could be strategic: to curry favor and political alignment with the huge Muslim empire stretching from Africa to east Asia.

I always try hard not to be monocausal, and when I read your comment I pictured 2 streams:

1) The growth of Critical Anti-Zionism from its precincts in the Soviet Union and its allies on Western campuses, where it's gradually gained strength since at least the 80s until now where it has become one of the mandatory sacred beliefs of our progressive aristocracy; and

2) The importation of millions of Muslims into the West with their devotion to jihad, their religious fundamentalism and of course their intense Jew hate and desire to destroy Israel.

These two streams have now joined and become a rushing river, which is tearing through our countries and remaking all in its path in its own image.

I read this recently in Ruth Wisse's "Jews and Power":

"In an effort to extend Soviet influence in the Middle East, Joseph Stalin hailed Amin el Husseini's anti-Jewish attacks as the spearhead of an Arab uprising against British and Zionist imperialism. Stalin's support of anti-Jewish violence in Palestine served a number of domestic as well as international aims, including the hope of placating Muslims who formed a fifth of the Soviet population. Communism opposed Jewish nationalism as a reactionary deviation from class conflict, and expected Jews, who did not yet have a land of their own, to be the first to divest themselves of their national particularity...He now added to earlier accusations of reactionary Jewish nationalism the charge of Jewish imperialism in Palestine, laying the groundwork for the transition from anti-Semitism to anti-Zionism. Communists around the world took up this line."

The crusade against Zionism and the desire to destroy any Jewish state is almost 100 years old at this point, but now it has reached unprecedented power throughout the West, sadly. It is now a mainstream position on the left side of the aisle.

In addition to the points that you are making there is something very important.

The speech reads as if there was no knowledge, no experience, no information available about some of the main causes of this explosion of Antisemitism in Canada.

The newly created Council would benefit from reading this extensive report by ISGAP, the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, documenting the infiltration of radical ideologies into politics, academia, and Civil society in Canada and the risks to national security. https://isgap.org/post/2025/06/canada-faces-rising-national-security-risk-from-muslim-brotherhood-infiltration-report-warns/

Adam, I think you're right.

By now we all know where Carney stands. Recognizing a Palestinian state after October 7 tells us everything we need to know about his priorities.

What really struck me was the absurdity of the solution. A new council. More studies. More meetings. More bureaucracy. The council's very name doesn't even contain the words "Jews" or "antisemitism," yet we're supposed to believe this is a serious response to the worst wave of antisemitism in modern Canadian history.

And where is the accountability? Matthew Taub and TAFSIK are suing Olivia Chow and the City of Toronto. Good for them. But why aren't there legal challenges against the federal government for failing to enforce existing hate laws and protect Jewish citizens?

Most of all, he wasn't speaking to the Jews in the room. He was speaking past them. And after 27 minutes, he left without offering a meaningful solution to the people who came there hoping to hear one.

I would have booed at the end and turned my back on him. Canada is finished (because any country that becomes intolerable to its Jews is in ruin) unless these leftists are replaced by rational decent government. Stephen Harper was a great friend to Israel and a great friend to Canadien Jewry. In Australia, John Howard was a great friend to Israel. No need to even mention the name of the vile worm who is the current prime minister. Canadien Jews have allies. You have to stand up and stop tolerating this.

Art Wilkins's avatar

Never said, “Israel,” and the committee composition is tilted antisemitic. Canada is horrifying for Jews.

Bonnie Geller's avatar

Exactly, one token Jew, who should have refused as the council is like the UN, stacked totally in favour of those who actually are the one do the physical and criminal attacks on us.
