The Canadian government has pledged to take steps to combat antisemitism, including adding CAD $10 million to a program aimed at countering hatred and violent extremism. However, Jewish groups in the country are unimpressed, saying the measures are too little, too late. The government announced the forum in response to a rise in antisemitic incidents and hate crimes.
