Jewish Canadians Face Rising Hostility | Edmonton News

New research reveals a troubling decline in how non-Jewish Canadians view Jewish people, with attitudes toward Israel worsening even faster—signaling the end of a “golden age” for Jewish Canadians. DEI programs, while well-intentioned, may be inadvertently silencing antisemitism by failing to recognize it outside racial frameworks, leaving Jewish communities feeling invisible. One in four Jewish Canadians now seriously considers leaving Canada due to rising hate, exposing a deeper crisis of trust in multiculturalism. Anti-Israel sentiment has surged, with many Canadians now calling the Gaza campaign genocide—and that hostility is spilling over into antisemitism. Experts warn that fixing DEI policies to better include Jewish identity and acknowledge the full spectrum of antisemitism is crucial to reversing the tide.

Alberta’s government splashed out over $300K on a custom referendum website—albertareferendum2026.ca—to educate voters ahead of October 19’s big vote. The site, launched in April after nine questions were unveiled, added the tenth—on potential separation from Canada—in May. It features explainer videos, FAQs, and media links, all promoting Premier Smith’s vision of “sovereign Alberta within a united Canada.” Behind the scenes, 120+ redacted documents reveal internal emails between government staff and agency Creative Currency, chosen via a competitive process that prioritized value over price. Total costs hit $309K plus $1,200 for 14-language translations. Officials claim 40K+ visits and 10K+ video views, with the goal of boosting turnout. While Smith and her cabinet support staying in Canada, the campaign pushes voters to say yes on the other nine questions—mostly immigration-related.
