Episode Details

New data reveals a troubling shift in Canadian attitudes toward faiths, with Judaism experiencing the most dramatic change—more negative views and fewer positive ones over the past year and a half. While Islam still faces the strongest overall negativity, anti-Jewish sentiment is surging, even as hate crimes against Jewish people have dropped to 788 from 943 last year—still making up 71% of all religion-motivated hate crimes. A survey by the Association for Canadian Studies confirms this trend, showing rising hostility toward Judaism while younger Canadians (18–24) surprisingly hold more positive views of Islam and appear more open to religious diversity. The disconnect between declining violence and growing prejudice highlights the urgent need for nuanced, multi-pronged efforts to combat bias.
