Antisemitism in Canada is the manifestation of hatred, hostility, harm, prejudice or discrimination against the Canadian Jewish people or Judaism as a religious, ethnic or racial group.
This form of racism has affected Jews since Canada's Jewish community was established in the 18th century.[1][2]
In 2019, the Canadian government adopted the Working definition of antisemitism developed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).[3] Canada has been a member of the IHRA since 2009.[4] On Nov 1, 2024, the department of Canadian Heritage updated the "Canadian Handbook on the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism".[5]
Since 2023, Anti Semitic incidents in Canada have reached a record high.
