Ontario Government insists it has adopted the entire International Definition of Antisemitism, including all of the integral examples

Ontario’s Government has insisted that it has adopted the entire International Definition of Antisemitism, including all of the integral examples.

There have been claims recently that the Canadian province did not adopt all of the examples in the Definition, which are integral to its meaning and utility, but the Government has rejected these claims.

For example, a Conservative MPP reportedly stated that the Definition adopted by the Order in Council would be more limited than its opponents feared, which caused subsequent concern in the Jewish community.

However, A spokesperson for the Government House Leader has confirmed that Ontario endorses the Definition in its entirety, including the “illustrative examples”.
