Ahead of BC’s October 24 provincial election, B’nai Brith Canada has written to party leaders and sent them our election questionnaire, calling for concrete action to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish British Columbians. Canada is in the midst of a crisis of antisemitism. Our 2025 Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents in Canada documented 847 incidents in BC and 6,800 nationwide. In BC, that is a 250% increase compared to 242 incidents in 2022. We have asked parties how, if given the opportunity to form government, they will: 1) Protect Jewish communities in BC, including by increasing security funding, establishing a dedicated hate-crime prosecution unit, and exploring armed security provided by trained and licensed professionals at vulnerable institutions; 2) Combat antisemitism in schools and post-secondary institutions, ensuring Jewish students can learn safely and that concerns about harassment, intimidation, and exclusion are addressed; and 3) Formally adopt and implement the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance ("IHRA") working definition of antisemitism across provincial policies and programs, including through student education and mandatory antisemitism training for public servants. The responses we receive will be published on our social media platforms so voters can see where parties stand on these crucial issues for our communities. Read our questionnaire below. Make sure your voice is heard at the ballot box.

Antisemitism on Canadian campuses does not exist in a vacuum. B’nai Brith Canada has been documenting where protections are falling short, exposing institutional failures, and pushing universities and governments to act. Now, a new report from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy adds important context to that work, connecting what we are seeing on the ground with broader questions of foreign funding, influence, transparency, and accountability. After reviewing the report, we identified five findings that reinforce the advocacy already underway. Swipe to see what stood out to us.

These are the people Israel rescued from the rubble after earthquakes.

You let the cancer in. You opened the door and sat it down at your table. Your suicidal empathy will be the ruin of Europe. Woe. Woe.

French woman: "they were going to rape me because I wanted to protect my store" French Leftist: "That's just collateral damage of the revolution, the riots must continue. Activism cannot be peaceful." Socialism and Islam. Same ideology.

Jessica Cohen, a Spanish influencer, was in the car with Fleur that was attacked by "Palestinian" Arab kids today Look at the size of that rock they threw. That can rip your face off or kill you.

Let’s be clear. Palestinian kids attacking Israelis.

I always knew that Mario Nawfal was botted. But even I underestimated the scale. A new study from @CombatASemitism found that a whopping 40.5% of accounts amplifying his content are bots and fake profiles

The craziest part is that literally not a single media outlet will report this. It’s a complete abdication of any basic journalistic integrity.

Bob Mackin and I uncovered Neville Roy Singham’s Code Pink China-backed Marxist network coordinating the terror rallies worldwide on WeChat over two years ago. We were years ahead. Maybe one day a “real” journalist will pick it up. I wouldn’t hold your breath though. x.com/bobmackin/status/17925…

“Fearmongering”

A Palestinian hurled a rock at Netflix star Cindy Seni in Israel today. It smashed through her car window while driving through Samaria. Cindy is Canadian, French, and Israeli. Can't wait for all the comments trying to justify this barbaric terror attack. 🎥TT Cindy Seni

I had a good call with Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, @sikorskiradek. We discussed the significant increase in Israeli tourism to Poland and opportunities to expand cooperation, dialogue, and investment between our countries. We also discussed the war in Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East. I updated Minister Sikorski on the police investigation into the incident in Judea and Samaria involving several diplomats, including the Polish Consul.

Good for @CalgaryOpera, I support their decision 100%. People paid good money to enjoy an evening of art and culture and shouldn't be subject to radical political messaging. Let him go join the Gaza opera.
