Anti-Semitism

Although it is still far from perfect, Canada has evolved into a very multicultural country. But during the 19th century, anti-Semitism had a lengthy and horrible history in Canada. Anti-Semitism can be defined most simply as hostility directed at Jews only because they are Jews. In spite of what anti-Semites profess, anti-Semitism is not caused by the actions or beliefs of Jews, but rather is a result of attitudes and behaviour that arise no matter what Jews do or believe.

There was extensive anti-Semitism in Canada's early history. This can be proved because during the years of Nazi terror, from 1933 to 1945, the United States accepted more than 200 000 Jewish refugees, Palestine, 125 000 refugees; tormented Britain, 70 000 refugees, Argentina, 50 000 refugees, destitute Brazil, 27 000 refugees; distant China, 25 000 refugees, undersized Bolivia and Chile, 14 000 each, and Canada, the second largest country, only found room for 5 000! Regular attacks on Judaism and the Jewish community appeared in "Semaine Religieuse de Quebec" and in other religious publications, and the infamous anti-Semitic forgery. Many people have claimed that Jews as a group possess far too much wealth and power


“The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” was a virulent anti-Semitic book. It was promoted by various religious leaders in Canada. From 1910 through the 1940s, prominent Canadians like Edouard Plamandon, Adrian Arcand, Goldwin Smith, Henri Bourassa, and Mackenzie King were associated with strong anti-Semitism, taking such stands as justifying Russian pogroms against the Jews, openly praising Hitler, and denying safety in Canada to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution. In World War Two Hitler targeted Jews, Gypsies and Serbs for extermination in concentration camps. Hitler argued that with the highest population density on Earth, the undesired Jewish population should find room in Canada with the lowest population density on Earth. But Canada sent boatloads of Jews back to certain death in Germany. Of Jews, Canada's Minister of Immigration said “None is too many.” A politically determined Pierre Trudeau, later Prime Minister of Canada for decades, dressed as a Nazi and drove his motorcycle around Quebec towns in a show of solidarity with Adolf Hitler and the policy of exterminating the Jews. Canadians loved Trudeau's flamboyance and Trudeau-mania swept Canada. Canada politically embarrassed Hitler from deporting Jews. Canada kept the ethnic pressure up
