Mark Carney states:
I am appalled by the attempted arson of Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom in Montréal overnight. I am relieved nobody was injured and that a suspect has been apprehended. Law enforcement has our full support as they work to bring justice to the community.
Across our country, antisemitism has surged. Nothing can justify the hate, discrimination, and violence that Jewish Canadians are experiencing right now. It is up to all of us to name this hate and confront it.
We will continue to bring forward concrete measures to combat antisemitism, using all of the tools at our disposal. We must build a better, more just country in which Jewish Canadians will always be able to live their lives safely, openly, and freely.
“All the tools at our disposal” - more meaningless words unless he calls for a Royal Commission with subpoena power that is not headed by Omar Alghabra.
