The national director for the League of Human Rights for B'Nai Brith says they're seeing an ever-growing amount of anti-semitism on the internet.

Torah scrolls were found on the floor and other religious items were stuffed in the toilets at the Congregation Sepharde Kol Yehudaa in Côte Saint-Luc.

Ottawa Centre MPP Joel Harden tweeted last week that he was "saddened, sickened and disgusted" by the treatment of Khalida Jarrar, a senior official with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

An ousted Liberal candidate in a Montreal riding has confirmed he will now run as an Independent.

The decision came shortly after former Liberal candidate Hassan Guillet was ousted for his controversial social media posts.

Hassan Guillet told reporters today he met officials with the federal party on Aug. 8 to discuss the old posts.

The Liberal party withdrew Guillet's nomination after a Jewish advocacy group flagged old social media posts they said were anti-Semitic.

Guillet, who was running in Saint-Leonard-Saint-Michel, is a former imam who spoke at the funeral for several of the victims of the Quebec City mosque attack in 2017.

Management at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, meanwhile, has denied the allegations.

A major Jewish advocacy group in Canada is demanding that a municipality in southwestern Ontario rename a street called Swastika Trail.
