More committees won’t solve Canada’s antisemitism crisis, despite what Mark Carney wants you to believe
Mark Carney finally acknowledges the antisemitism crisis facing Jewish Canadians, but his big solution is more bureaucracy rather than real protection and enforcement.

Tonight on the Ezra Levant Show: Prime Minister Mark Carney has finally admitted what Jewish Canadians have been screaming for months. Canada is in the middle of a full-blown antisemitism crisis. Then, in the very next breath, he announced another useless committee. We’ll also catch up with JCCF lawyer James Manson, who just testified with Lisa Bildy and Mark Joseph on the serious free speech dangers in Carney’s Bill C-9.
In a tightly scripted, carefully stage-managed speech at a synagogue on Monday, Carney finally said the quiet part out loud. "Across our country," Carney said, "antisemitism has surged to levels not seen in the post-war period." He admitted Jews make up just one per cent of the population yet face more than two-thirds of all religion-motivated hate crimes.
For a moment, it sounded like a Prime Minister preparing to act. Carney painted a grim picture of a country where Jewish schools are shot at, synagogues are firebombed, and Jewish students are driven from campus.
Then reality set in. The speech wasn't broadcast live in full, wasn't delivered in Parliament, and wasn't open to media scrutiny. Reporters, including Rebel News, were locked out while a hand-picked audience watched another carefully managed Liberal production.
Instead of stronger enforcement, tougher prosecutions, or naming who is responsible, Carney delivered bureaucracy. He bragged about six new pieces of legislation, including Bill C-9. But Canada already has laws against violence, vandalism, trespassing, stalking, harassment, threats, intimidation, and disturbing religious worship. The problem has never been a lack of laws. It is a total lack of enforcement.
Jewish leaders have begged for protection. Police say they are stretched to breaking point. Municipalities are pleading for help. Yet Ottawa’s response is not decisive action, but more committees, more consultations, and more bureaucracy, despite already having the powers needed to act.
Which brings us to Carney’s big announcement: a new Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion, chaired by none other than Marc Miller. Yes, that Marc Miller. The same minister whose government got tangled in the Laith Marouf scandal, handing public money to a vicious antisemite.
Even though the speech was framed around antisemitism, this council’s mandate is far broader: fighting racism and hate in all their forms. Not antisemitism specifically. Everything. So a crisis hitting one community gets buried in the usual progressive laundry list of grievances.
Mark Carney outlined four priorities: reassess the drivers, coordinate responses, improve research and data collection, and measure outcomes. In other words: study, coordinate, research, and evaluate. After bullets, firebombs, and campus intimidation, the government’s answer is more paperwork.
The composition is even more revealing. Just one Jewish Liberal voice, Senator Marc Gold, stacked alongside figures like former cabinet minister Omar Alghabra and lawyer Avnish Nanda, who has defended pro-Palestinian campus encampments. If this is truly an emergency, why build a panel designed to balance political interests instead of laser-focusing on protecting Jewish Canadians?
INSANE.

Mark Carney’s combatting antisemitism committee includes the Islamist Omar Alghabra, who called for terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah to be legalized. It also includes notorious lawyer for Jew-haters, Avnish Nanda.https://t.co/7DjDIyEg0y

Most telling of all: Carney condemned antisemitism repeatedly but refused to name the source. He never identified the radical ideological movements, the university encampments, the street protests, or the aggressive anti-Israel activism that so often turns into outright Jew-hatred. Instead, he lumped it in with Islamophobia, transphobia, and attacks on churches in a vague, feel-good lecture about hate.
Carney correctly diagnosed the disease. He just does not have the courage to name the cause or the guts to fight it.
This committee is not a solution. It is the problem. It dilutes a specific crisis against Jews into a broader political project, produces reports instead of real enforcement, and proves this government would rather manage optics and balance interests than confront the actual people attacking Jewish Canadians.
Jewish Canadians are being told the government understands their fears. What they are still waiting for is proof this government is willing to confront the people causing them.
GUEST: James Manson, JCCF lawyer. He recently testified with Lisa Bildy and Mark Joseph on Mark Carney’s Bill C-9 and its threat to freedom of expression.

Fran G commented 2026-06-05 13:18:43 -0400sorry didnt want to send that yet. They are both in bed with ccp, trudumb is videod saying he admires ccp, and carnage has been economically involved and received 250 million loan from ccp just before he slimed into our pm position. They both brought in millions of islams that mainly hate us, to give them votes. etc etc. I could write a book about their disgusting antics that has been the downfall of Chanada.

Denyse O'Leary commented 2026-06-03 19:04:50 -0400Thanks, Kris Larsen. You are doubtless correct that bringing in hundreds of thousands of antisemites will spark antisemitism. Now, how easy is it to have a straightforward discussion of the fact that we are willingly admitting to Canada people who hate and attack Canadian citizens? If it is not easy to discuss this problem, why isn’t it? -
Kris Larsen commented 2026-06-03 18:59:46 -0400Bringing in people from parts of the world where 80% (give or take) of the population hates Jews will increase antisemitism.

Denyse O'Leary commented 2026-06-03 11:54:10 -0400Nancy Tait writes below, "The laws in Canada against discrimination and hate crimes have existed for a long time but the real issue is the failure of both municipal provincial and federal governments to act on them as a deterrent. " True, but WHY does the government not enforce the law? WHY does it take refuge in new laws instead? What is it that we are not confronting, can’t even discuss?

Nancy Tait commented 2026-06-03 11:48:51 -0400The laws in Canada against discrimination and hate crimes have existed for a long time but the real issue is the failure of both municipal provincial and federal governments to act on them as a deterrent. Appointing another commission to “study antisemitism” is just another dodge.

Denyse O'Leary commented 2026-06-03 09:46:08 -0400We agree that Carney is all talk, no action. But the question is, WHY is he? I never hear antisemitism in my own environment but some environments in Canada are now hotbeds. What is the topic no one dares discuss in plain terms? Put another way, who is he really appealing to by soft pedalling and why did that faction suddenly become important?

Tony Salotti commented 2026-06-03 07:48:56 -0400Mark ( Droopy Dog ) Carney is , was and will always be full of it .I was a catholic kid growing up in the Steeles Ave and Bathurst St area in the 1960s near a predominantly Jewish area and everyone got along . Muslims and socialist fools are the problem .

Bruce Atchison commented 2026-06-02 23:20:47 -0400Marx Carnage is all talk and no action. He rags the puck on things he doesn’t want to do. He also makes grand pronouncements which lead to nothing. He’s a top-down manager who figures government must run and regulate everything. History shows that his approach NEVER works. Only free enterprise and limited government, like America is doing, creates abundance.

Denyse O'Leary commented 2026-06-02 20:22:00 -0400Carney does not want to address the obvious question: What changed in Canada that spiked all the antisemitism? I know for a fact that no one I knew became more antisemitic over the years. Wild guess: Importing huge numbers of antisemites did it. Wanna discuss?
