Back in 2020, the Government of Canada - through Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) - committed $33 million to something called the 50–30 Challenge. The goal was to foster “diversity and inclusion by promoting gender parity (50%) and increased representation of equity-deserving groups (30%) within leadership roles”. The program named five “ecosystem partners”: Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan), Egale Canada, Global Compact Network Canada, Ted Rogers School of Management’s Diversity Institute, and Women’s Economic Council.
All I can say, Sir, is that ever so much of what is becoming mainstream and what is - very horrifyingly - being financed/subsidized/accepted/encouraged by our governments/universities is purely antisemitic. I am a gentile and I cannot understand the incredible animus for Israel and Jews in general; that is not the way that I was raised and that is not the way that I raised my children (now adults raising their own children).
The best that I can offer is that I don't accept whatsoever this crap and on the rare occasions that I encounter it personally, I speak up with my perspective that such behavior is unacceptable.
In truth, I cannot imagine how Jewish families are managing to deal with this hatred. I don't know what I can do other than to state my opinion on this odious way of life. Candidly, I just cannot see this ending well for Jews or for the resulting society. There is much about today's Canada that makes me want to leave (for where I am uncertain) but I am old and am effectively unable to depart. Luckily(!) I will, in the next five to ten years, die. Pretty bad when that is something to which to look forward but there it is.
The myth of Palestine has been a vanity project of the institutional left for the last 60 years. It has since putrefied into a significant political narrative compelling the Jacobins and Bolsheviks of politics to grovel in the moral gutters for votes and in Canada, that means being on side with the bought-off court eunuch media. For a carpet bagger like Carney who effortlessly threw his own Father's reputation ( former IRS Principal) under the bus in favor of the grievance industry, aligning with the vote-rich state-imported Jihadi diaspora was a no-brainer. Deep down the Carney is as shallow as his predecessor. We seem to have returned to the early 1930s where western progressives were in awe of the National Socialists and their shared interest in Eugenics (Tommy Douglas' masters thesis) and where it "temporarily" became in vogue to channel their inner anti-Semitism.
Contemporaneous to your new article gracing my inbox, I'm reading "On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization", by Douglas Murray (https://www.harpercollins.ca/9780063437135/on-democracies-and-death-cults/). There is much interesting detail about elite capture and the brainwashing of western intellectuals (primarily in government and academia) by Iran and its endless armies of antisemitic proxies/useful idiots.
I've tried unsuccessfully to find data representing foreign funding (Qatar, China, etc.) of Canadian universities. We know that billions find their way into U.S. higher ed. and we know that no one spends this kind of money without the expectation they'll get something in exchange. Unfortunately, there are currently no regulatory requirements for Canadian institutions to list the sources of their foreign funding.
But one look at campuses like Concordia or UofT and we see possible evidence of the pay-off.
Quite the reach to claim that this is inciting violence, but I really shouldn't be surprised at this point. Your ideological biases are as bad if not worse (as are those of your commentors). Enjoy those echoes.

Douglas Murray's stuff is always great.
