The CEO of Shopify stated that antisemitism in Canada has become normalized under a thin veneer of activism, and that many in the Jewish community are reconsidering their future in the country, according to a report.
The CEO of Shopify said antisemitism in Canada has become "normalized under the thinnest cover of activism" and that many Jewish Canadians are weighing whether to stay in the country, according to a report published early Monday.
The remarks add to a growing body of concern about antisemitism in Canada. The Zioneer has previously reported on former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus's criticism of Canada, where he claimed the country "prefers Muslims and Islamists over their local, loyal Jewish population" and that many Jewish Canadians are leaving. An opinion piece published by The Zioneer described Canada as a "suicidal country" turning into a "Palestinian state."
No official response from Canadian authorities has been reported yet. The CEO's statement was not attributed to a specific event or interview.
