Mark Carney addresses the ‘scourge’ of antisemitism in Canada, unveils national council
Carney said Jewish Canadians faced more than two-thirds of religion-motivated hate crimes in 2025 as the council studies the drivers of the rise.
- On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney launched the Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion at Toronto's Holy Blossom Temple, declaring that Canada's "civic compact is failing Jewish Canadians."
- Carney cited a surge in antisemitism to postwar highs, with B'nai Brith Canada recording over 6,800 incidents in 2025, targeting a group comprising just one percent of the population.
- Chaired by Canadian Identity and Culture Minister Marc Miller and including Sen. Marc Gold, the council will coordinate a "whole-of-federal-government" approach to assess the nature, scale, and drivers of antisemitism.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the government's record, calling on Carney to offer a "big apology" to the Jewish community for violence and fear allowed over the last decade.
- Replacing two previous federal envoys, the council aims to improve research and data collection on hate incidents while focusing on national unity and "trying to bring people together" through federal alignment.
