Thirty-two Liberal MPs have issued a statement to condemn the rise of anti-Semitism in Canada, after the latest attack last week saw a Jewish woman stabbed in an Ottawa grocery store.
The MPs, among whom are a few current and former cabinet ministers, said Jewish Canadians have the right to feel safe in the country but currently there is a “deep sense of unease, fear and unsafety” among many of them.
