The Social Compact with Canadian Jews Is Broken and Needs to be Restored (4/17/2024)

Given their small numbers and the omnipresence of antisemitism, the Jewish community is reliant on protection from society: the courts, the legal system, the police and public sentiment itself. That is the social compact under which the community is able
