Canada announced a national strategy to combat antisemitism

Ministers Gary Anandasangaree and Sean Fraser released comprehensive National Commitments to Combat Antisemitism on January 26, following the devastating Bondi Beach attack in Australia that claimed fifteen lives during Hanukkah celebrations. The framework strengthens law enforcement training, expands hate crime units, and enhances security for vulnerable communities. Building on last year's National Forum, the strategy includes legislative reforms through Bill C-9, which criminalizes obstruction of worship places and the display of hate symbols. Canada will monitor progress through semi-annual public reports as part of its broader Action Plan on Combatting Hate.
