A group of non-Jews in Canada formed an organization to combat anti-Semitism. The coalition, known as Fighting Antisemitism Together, placed a full-page ad in the Canadian Jewish News, headed “WHY WE MUST SPEAK OUT — Non-Jewish Business Leaders Stand Up Against Antisemitism in Canada.” The ad announces the launch of “a vigorous new offensive against anti-Semitism in Canada,” and explains that the group exists “to honor every Jewish child and promise the Jewish people they are not alone and on their own in Canada in this new century.” The ad is signed by 23 top Canadian executives, mostly from the financial sector but also including representatives from the manufacturing, telecommunications, grocery and academic sectors.
