Episode Details

Toronto’s top mayoral contenders are set to face off in a high-stakes debate on antisemitism, hosted by Jewish Lawyers of Canada at a synagogue with security in place amid rising hate incidents. With 82% of last year’s religiously motivated hate crimes targeting Jews, the event aims to force candidates to outline concrete plans to combat intimidation and violence. Chris Alexander has confirmed his attendance and pledged to form a Mayor’s Crisis Group if elected, while Brad Bradford has expressed appreciation for the invitation. Mayor Olivia Chow remains unconfirmed despite being invited — her office has not responded. All three candidates are still locked in for a separate poverty and housing debate on September 14th, but this one could reshape how Toronto responds to hate.
