Summary
Joe Roberts, executive director of Jewish Tulsa and a Canadian expat, discusses why some Canadian Jews are relocating to Tulsa, Oklahoma amid rising antisemitism and what the mid-sized city in America’s Bible Belt is doing to attract them. He examines the safety concerns driving this migration, critiques the Canadian government's response to antisemitic threats, and explains Tulsa's appeal. Roberts addresses concerns about ethnic enclaves, immigration pathways, and whether Canada's liberal democracy is adequately protecting its Jewish citizens post October 7th. This episode is a part of The Hub's new Fault Lines initiative, which examines the pressures pulling Canadian society apart and the principles that can hold it together.
