Selected Surveys: 

• Environics Institute for Survey Research 2019: “One in five Canadian Jews said they experienced discrimination due to religion (21%) or ethnicity (18%) in the past five years. Of that number, the highest percentages were seen in the 18-29 group (36%), Orthodox or Modern Orthodox (27%) or those with a Sephardi background (29%)^[2][2] https://www.environicsinstitute.org/docs/default-source/project-documents/2018-survey-of-jews-in-canada/2018-survey-of-jews-in-canada—final-report.pdf?sfvrsn=2994ef6_2
• Times of Israel, June 2021: “Less uplifting is the absence of support from the public, which has prompted 200 Jewish organizations and synagogues to call on Canadians to stand with the Jewish community in the face of one of the worst antisemitic waves in Canadian history. “What is most frightening is not the brazen assaults, vandalism, and harassment our community has endured — as terrible as they have been — but the reluctance of many Canadians to stand in solidarity with their fellow citizens who are under attack,” said their appeal, which appeared online and as a full-page ad in Canada’s largest newspaper.”^[3][3] https://www.timesofisrael.com/canadas-jews-say-antisemites-declared-open-season-on-them-since-gaza-conflict/ …“Anti-Israel extremism has emerged as the main source of antisemitism in Canada in 2021,” says Michael Mostyn, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada. “Just as medieval Jew-hatred was based on religion, and 19th- and 20th-century antisemitism was largely derived from ostensibly ‘scientific’ concepts such as race, attacks on Jewish self-determination, i.e. anti-Zionism, have become the latest ‘excuse’ for attacks on Canadian Jews.”^[4][4] https://www.timesofisrael.com/canadas-jews-say-antisemites-declared-open-season-on-them-since-gaza-conflict/
