Canada has a long history of being a diverse and peaceful country. This recent anti-Semitism and Islamophobia is disgusting and unacceptable. Canadians need to unite and not let international issues divide them domestically.
While the conflict in the Middle East has undoubtedly fueled these kinds of episodes, Canada's history is far from being free of hate crimes. In fact, these recent incidents are indicative of a wider problem that came to fester during the pandemic and call attention to the government's lack of action. It's time that the root cause of these types of crimes is finally addressed.
