The year in Jew hatred.

One year ago today, Mark Carney’s Liberals won a majority government.

One year later, there has been a lot of analysis about what Carney has accomplished in that year, and what he hasn’t. It’s a mixed bag, with much of the commentariat adopting a wait and see attitude. Voters, however, are pretty enthusiastic: Angus Reid’s pollsters say Carney is approved of by 60 per cent of Canadians, which is only a bit less than Jean Chretien was, a year in.

Abacus says 54 per cent of Canadians approve of the job Carney’s government is doing. Just under 30 per cent disapprove. (Both Reid and Abacus say not many people feel the country is on the “right track,” however.)

So, there’s lots of polling happening at the one-year mark. But nobody has really measured another important subject: how Canadians feel about the effectiveness of the Carney government in fighting antisemitism.

Because - make no mistake - Jew hatred is really, really bad in Canada. And, since Carney’s election, it has gotten demonstrably worse. At present, Mark Carney’s Canada is considered to have one of the worst antisemitism problems in the world.

This week, as it does every year around this time, the human rights organization B’nai Birth released its annual audit on antisemitism in Canada. The audit, all 45 pages of it, covers 2025 - which, in fairness, also includes the Justin Trudeau era. But it’s all the same Liberal government, of course, with many of the same faces.

The B’nai Brith report looks at crimes, mainly: harassment, vandalism and violence. Many, many incidents are not reported, because Canadian Jews (understandably) fear blowback. Or, because (justifiably) they feel police and prosecutors won’t do a damn thing.

So, there were at least 6,800 antisemitic incidents in 2025, B’nai Brith says. That represents an increase of nearly 150 per cent since 2022.

The report is littered with awful photographs. JEWS ARE EVIL, reads some graffiti. SAVE A CHILD, reads another, KILL A RABBI. A swastika inside a Star of David. ZIONISTS = NAZIS, reads one leaflet that was passed around. THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN BEING A ZIO, says one sign held up at a protest. The Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke coined that one: “Zio.” And on and on.

The report contains many depressing revelations about the explosion in Jew hatred in the time in which Trudeau and Carney possessed power.
