Episode Details

Toronto police are deploying unprecedented security measures ahead of the Jewish High Holy Days, with visible and undercover officers, command posts, and Task Force Guardian units working alongside the Jewish Security Network to protect communities amid a surge in hate-motivated attacks. Since October 7, 2023, over 570 arrests and 1,390 charges have been laid for protests and hate crimes. Mayor Olivia Chow condemned antisemitism as unacceptable and called for safety without fear, while police have expanded their hate-crime unit to investigate recent synagogue shootings. These efforts extend beyond the holidays, especially around the anniversary of October 7. Montreal is also monitoring the situation, though officials say no specific threat exists — but standard holiday protocols are in place.
