## Resource

Toronto police just dropped major hate crime charges against five more people, ages 19 to 48, linked to antisemitic signs at a March protest. Charged with wilful promotion and incitement of hatred — a serious offense requiring AG approval — these arrests follow Sunday raids and court appearances. Chief Myron Demkiw vowed relentless pursuit of hate, calling it divisive and fear-inducing. This surge marks a stark shift: since October 2023, 30 hate propaganda charges have been laid (including 11 for wilful promotion), compared to just six in the prior 13 years — showing authorities are stepping up enforcement dramatically.
