  • The Use and Misuse of Antisemitism Statistics in Canada
    THE USE AND MISUSE OF ANTISEMITISM STATISTICS IN CANADA by Sheryl Nestel, PhD THE USE AND MISUSE OF ANTISEMTISM STATISTICS IN CANADA 1 The Use and Misuse of Antisemitism Statistics in Canada “Canadian Jews Most Targeted Group for Third Year in a Row” [1] proclaimed B’nai Brith Canada in a press release issued on July 22, 2019. Jews and others who are deeply troubled by the spread of antisemitism worldwide must have been alarmed to learn that Canada was being added to the growing list of countries where antisemitism is on the rise.[2] But how accurate are B’nai Brith’s claims? Upon close examination, it turns out that B’nai Brith’s interpretation of the state of antisemitism in Canada is misleading at best, perhaps deliberately so. The alarming headline actually obscures a complex web of established facts, dubious claims, overt and covert political agendas, avoidable inaccuracies, methodological opacity and unexplained exclusions - all of which demand examination. Since 1982, B’nai Brith Canada has published an Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents which the organization claims to be an “authoritative document on antisemitism in Canada.”[3] Indeed, the Audit is very widely cited. It has been employed for decades by Canada’s unfailingly pro-Israel governments as well as by an impressive range of media outlets including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, The Globe and Mail, the Calgary Herald, Radio Canada, the U.S. State Department and THE USE AND MISUSE OF ANTISEMTISM STATISTICS IN CANADA 2 numerous other mainstream news sources Moreover, B’nai Brith’s claim that Jews are the and civil institutions.

  • Mark Steyn and the Canadian Human Rights Commissions
    ‘Reasonable limits on the expression of hatred’: Mark Steyn and the Canadian Human Rights Commissions Matthew Omolesky I. On 20 October 2006, the website of the Canadian weekly current affairs magazine Maclean’s featured an article entitled ‘The future belongs to Islam,’ excerpted from the conservative polemicist Mark Steyn’s book America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. [1] This provocative opinion piece presented a vision of European ‘demographic decline; the unsustainability of the social democratic state; and civilisational exhaustion,’ all of which paved the way for the continent’s ‘remorseless transformation into Eurabia.’ [2] Since ‘the salient feature of Europe, Canada, Japan and Russia is that they’re running out of babies,’ Steyn contended, ‘Europe has age and welfare,’ but ‘Islam has youth and will.’ [3] The article ended ominously, with a quotation from the Norwegian imam Mullah Krekar, who had recently told the Oslo newspaper Dagbladet: ‘We’re the ones who will change you [Europeans]. Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes. Every Western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children… Our way of thinking will prove more powerful than yours.’ [4] One question of Steyn’s, concerning this allegedly existential demographic and geopolitical threat, was meant to linger: ‘How does the state react?’ Ironically, it would be how the state reacted to Steyn – rather than immigration – that would take centre stage. One key non-state reaction to Steyn’s article was that of Mohamed Elmasry, president of the Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC), who eventually submitted complaints against Maclean’s and its editor, Kenneth Whyte, to the human rights commissions of British Columbia and Ontario, as well as the federal Canadian Human Rights Commission.
