Montreal’s exclusive Lower Canada College recently canceled the 2003-2004 yearbooks after the messages, in what media reports called a “jumble of acronym-like e-mail shorthand,” were found. Canadian Jewish leaders said they were convinced the messages were a joke, and are pleased with the way the school handled the matter.
