Canadian Jewish Congress Establishes No Anti-semitic Incident Occurred in Montreal

A so-called anti-Semitic incident in Montreal, which was reported earlier last week, has upon investigation by the Canadian Jewish Congress, turned out to be a celebration organized by a group of French-Canadians to celebrate the wedding of a friend.

Since the group in a truck carried an effigy many Jewish passers-by, unacquainted with the French language, mistook their shouts for anti-Semitic abuse and informed local newspapers accordingly. Actually no incident of any serious nature occurred, the Congress established.
