Saskatchewan adopts International Definition of Antisemitism
Saskatchewan has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.
The Province’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Bronwyn Eyre, said: “During this spiritual holiday season, it’s important to come together in peace. Antisemitism is on the rise and must be condemned, along with all forms of intolerance and hatred.”
Campaign Against Antisemitism applauds the decision, which demonstrates Saskatchewan’s solidarity with the Jewish community.
Recently, Brunswick and Manitoba also adopted the Definition.
Britain was the first country in the world to adopt the Definition, something for which Campaign Against Antisemitism and Lord Pickles worked hard over many meetings with officials at Downing Street. Saskatchewan joins a growing list of national, provincial and local governments around the world to use the Definition.
Campaign Against Antisemitism reports on news and incidents relating to antisemitism throughout Canada, which have dramatically increased according to a recent audit.
