Mar. 16 - A report issued by B'nai Brith says that out of 857 anti-Semitic incidents reported in Canada, 405 happened here (Problem worst in GTA with more here.)

I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not. Tolerance is easy to talk about but harder to feel and impossible to enforce. I constantly overhear anti-Jewish comments which go by unchallenged but, were they directed against African- or West Asian-Canadians, would be immediately denounced by everyone in the room.

Something else that would be interesting to track would be expressions of hate toward Chinese- and East Asian-Canadians.

The Toronto police will release a report next month on acts which legally constitute "hate crimes."

1 Ha! My witty and inciteful comment is lost to the ages because I made reference to the International Sozialists.

2 Ah Flea, you have my total sympathy. I've learned (and re-learned and re-learned) the hard way to highlight and copy my posts and comments due to time-out issues, spam attacks which close the sites and comments, and might certain dreaded words which form a part of words like sozialists. Nice work-around, by the way. One wit advised we just say "godless commies" like everyone else.
