What the Canadian Jewish Barometer reveals about Canada's changing attitudes toward Jews

Dr. Robert Brym and Dr. Rhonda Lenton discuss their recent Canadian-Jewish Barometer study examining societal pressures facing Canadian Jews. They explore deteriorating attitudes toward Jews and Israel among Canadians, the correlation between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, and heightened fears within Jewish communities. They also address challenges on university campuses, limitations of equity-diversity-inclusion frameworks in addressing antisemitism, and the need for dialogue between Jewish and Muslim communities to combat rising discrimination and violence.
