This increase encompasses violent acts, including shootings at Jewish institutions and arson attacks on synagogues, schools, and community centers. Although Jews make up only 1.4% of Canada’s population, they represent 70% of religiously motivated hate crimes.

On Saturday morning, the Bais Chaya Mushka Elementary School, a Jewish girls' day school in Toronto, was targeted in a shooting for the second time.
