The vast majority of Jewish students who responded to a government-commissioned survey late last year said they had experienced or witnessed antisemitism on campus.
Before the Carney government terminated the role of special envoy on antisemitism, the last person to hold that office commissioned a survey of 900 Jewish university students about their experiences on campus.
More than two-thirds of respondents said their university does not take antisemitism seriously and that it’s not a safe place for Jewish students.
A fifth of respondents reported physical violence directed at Jews on campus.

A survey of 900 Jewish post-secondary students across Canada found that almost all of them reported experiencing antisemitism on campus. The federal government commissioned the survey, which heard that Jewish students often hide their identity because they feel targeted or unsafe.
A group of mostly Jewish academics is calling on Ottawa to get universities to do a better job of enforcing existing codes of conduct and recording data on incidents of discrimination.
You can see how far Canada has fallen just from some of these comments.
I have a problem with people who THINK that they were discriminated against because of their religion when in fact it was probably over something that they did so that is why people did not like them. Actions speak louder then race or religion. To me anyway.
Instead of criticizing people that are angry over the atrocities committed by Israel, we don’t you condemn the government. Stop playing victim if you keep supporting a government that is committing war crimes to this day. 73000 dead Palestinians and you don’t give a squat.
These antisemite morons like some of the ones commenting here are useful idiots for radical Muslims terrorists. They cheerlead for the wrong side, then the next moment their children and spouse have their limbs blown off in a bombing and they wonder why. You people need to be sterilized.
Canada is a sh it hole now.
Go Israel, wipe Iran , lebanon,Gaza off the planet
Netanyahu is the face of Israel and if you support that man, you really don’t know much about the situation. And suing for money does nothing to dispel age old stereotype opinions
Careful, Managed, Decline. Vote Liberal!
muslims didn’t come to Canada to assimilate, they came to Canada to dominate.
When they are done with the Jews, they will come for you.
Then quit identifying as backers of the Israeli genocide and terrorism.
Just be another student in class, like every other student, and there will be no problems.
You can still be Jewish, and sport Anti-Israel/Pro-Palestine t-shirt.
Chris is right. They go out of their way to be a victim.
Add them to the list of just about every other minority, gender group or whatever on campus and in society that feels some sort of discrimination or self inflicted trauma from passive aggression.
It’s not new and it’s not a ground breaking story. It shouldn’t be happening regardless but Essentially the codes and rules are already there.
If there is actual proof and not a bunch of self observed and verbal only evidence the school can act.
Otherwise it’s just he said they said.
You look at them wrong and they consider it anti semitism. No one plays the victim as well as they do.
gee, i wonder why??
Its a free pass to use a term ‘antisemitism’ with no universal definition or application
