The troubling scenes out of Toronto aren’t just isolated incidents; they’re a damning indictment of Justin Trudeau‘s leadership—or lack thereof. As antisemitism flares across the globe, Trudeau’s administration is a reflection of this disturbing trend, failing to shield even the most innocent among us from harm. This past weekend, Bais Chaya, a Jewish girls’ school, was targeted yet again, marking the third gunfire attack since May. Miraculously, there were no physical injuries, but the psychological scars and the very fact of these repeated assaults paint a grim picture of rampant antisemitism that’s being grossly underaddressed in Canada. It’s high time Trudeau stepped up and took decisive action rather than just offering empty words. This isn’t just a failure of security; it’s a failure of moral leadership.
As John Ondrasik says in his new song, “Trudeau has got to go,” we find ourselves listening along not just to a catchy tune but to a hard truth. While the song might be wrapped in humor, the message it conveys is anything but a laughing matter. What is Trudeau actually doing to prevent these hate crimes? Under his watch, very little seems to change. There’s a burgeoning culture of antisemitism taking root in Canada, and Trudeau’s tepid responses aren’t cutting it. Three attacks on a Jewish school aren’t just alarming—they are wholly unacceptable. It’s high time for more than just words; we need action, and we need it now.
This year alone, we’ve witnessed a synagogue in Montreal firebombed and multiple Jewish schools in the area targeted. Jewish institutions across Canada have been under siege, from bomb threats to disruptions of cultural events, all pointing to a surge in antisemitism that echoes the global uptick following the disturbing events of October 7, 2023.
As we navigate this troubling wave of antisemitism, it’s crucial to recognize the lack of safety not just as a Jewish issue but as a profound societal problem that undermines the very values Western society stands for. What’s happening in Toronto, Montreal, and beyond isn’t isolated—it’s a loud wake-up call that antisemitism is alive and kicking, fueled by a world that watches and too often excuses.
It’s crystal clear: Trudeau has got to go. Canada deserves a leader who won’t stand by as antisemitism festers and threatens its Jewish community. It’s high time Canadians rallied to elect someone with the backbone to confront and dismantle this growing hatred head-on.
