My children are fourth generation Canadian. Yet I saw the writing on the wall ten years ago and we moved to Israel. They’ve all learned what’s most important in life - and spending 20,000$ on flowers for their weddings isn’t it.

Canada is no longer safe for Jews.

But then again, neither is NYC. The worldwide Marxist-Muslim effort to wipe us out is now putting its plan into action and the only possible way it stops is for Israel to treat attacks on the diaspora as an attack on Israel itself.

Unfortunately, its ability to retaliate against NATO nations protected by Article 5 is limited, given that three of those nations are nuclear powers

Excellent analysis. I remember that when JNF’s charitable status was revoked that one of the major donors declared, “To hell with the tax receipt, their work is too important, I’m sending the money to Israel anyway!” And that, in my opinion, is the way it should be. Charity should be charity, it should not be tied to tax planning.

It must be remembered that that bit is relatively new in the world, only as old as the income tax itself which was established only over a century ago to pay for WWI and was supposed to be revoked afterwards but never was.

The charitable status does two other things besides giving an organization the ability to issue tax receipts. First, it legitimizes an organization as an entity that is providing a “ public good “ even if as the author points out, it may actually be supporting a terrorist organization. Secondly, it privileges that organization for receiving grants from the government. So another part of the equation is that anti-Jewish, anti-Israel organizations sometimes have the government as their biggest donor!

I remember the JNF Blue Boxes where we collected the pennies for new trees in Israel. It was decades ago. Now I am motivated to donate to JNF, and, yes, " to hell with the tax receipt"!

2025 Election - Jewish Vote in Canada from: https://www.jspacecanada.ca/jewish_vote_2025

Question 1.8: "Thinking about the current (2025) federal election, which party did you vote for?

Liberal Party of Canada: 44.7%

Conservative Party of Canada: 44%

NDP: 6.7%

Green Party of Canada: 1.9%

Bloc Quebecois: 0.6%

Peoples Party of Canada: 0.6%

Other: 0.2%

Dont know/no answer: 1.3%

So, Liberals 44.7% + NDP 6.7% + Green Party 1.9% = 53.3%

Bottom Line: The majority of Jews in Canada voted to abolish themselves. In the 2021 election Jews again voted 59.2% for these three parties. No different than the United States where Jews won't stop voting Democrat. Talk about stupid.

The Liberals will have their majority government by the end of the day. The Liberals will be energized by the power accorded to them and will double down on their efforts to destroy what's left of this sorry ass country. Expect more taxes, more authoritarian measures, and institutionalized anti-Semitism well beyond what the author references in the article. Canada is over for the Jews. Yet Jews still vote for the Liberals after 10 years of increasing anti-Semitism. Many voted for the anti-Semite Carney and they were rewarded with Canada recognizing the non existent state of Palestine. Thus the Palestinians and their many useful idiots have been encouraged in their hateful effort to demonize and harass the Jewish community. As ever, left wing Jews are their own worst enemies.

"The threat to Canadian Jewry is driving its Jews to reconsider living here." This is a shame but the hostility of the folks in Ottawa makes leaving a consideration. Lefties have no problem with Moslems sending money to Hamas and other terrorist organizations but I guess planting trees in Israel is just too much.

I am so disappointed with Canada lately, once a country I admired so much, had worked for a canadian company and even considered living there...

I was very young, growing up in Brooklyn, NY during WW2, but I still remember it clearly. This article made me cry.

Canada has a long history of Jew hate. During WWII and the Holocaust, their policy for giving safe haven to Jews was " none is too many".

Eric R.'s avatar

Like it was in America. I have never understood why Jews were so in love with FDR, especially after the war

Suzanna Eibuszyc's avatar

Also, Ken Burns did not portray FDR truthfully, this is how history gets diluted and rewritten.

Canadia is a lost cause. Petty and easily roused to bullying as if they seek view Jews as Harp Seals.

I had read that Tulsa, OK has invited Canadian Jews and would offer a safe haven for them and would welcome them. Truly, that is a very reasonable and generous offer, one that should be taken seriously by Canadian Jews. Seriously.

Canada is a shithole. No wonder it wants to join the EU, they are kindred spirits.

I wonder how long a website outing every jihadist with terror links in Canada would be allowed to operate.

Lets start one and find out.

Right just more bullshit from people who can’t distinguish criticism of Israel and antisemitism. Criticizing Israel and the butcher of Jerusalem is not antisemitism.
