An alleged ISIS terrorist attack is narrowly avoided in Toronto, but who was it targeting? Why communities need access to information at times of heightened risk, and how antisemitism keeps getting downplayed in Canada. 

Editor’s Notes: The image and title for this episode was chosen solely by the publisher, not the editorial team.

This piece states that hate crimes against Jews rose 100% last year. The year referred to 2023.
