## Resource

Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a powerful, historically grounded speech at Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto, calling on all Canadians to confront rising antisemitism—not as a Jewish issue alone, but as a national moral failure. Drawing on the tragic MS St. Louis incident, he urged collective responsibility and action, using resonant terms like “covenant” to connect deeply with the Jewish community. While praised by some for its emotional weight and unity of government leadership, the speech sparked debate over its omission of “Zionism,” a term Jewish leaders say is central to understanding modern antisemitism. Critics questioned the practical impact of announced initiatives, while others welcomed the formation of a new Ministerial Advisory Council. Carney’s message was clear: Canada must protect Jewish citizens from prejudice and ensure no one is held accountable for events beyond their control—now, the real test is turning words into action.
