Italian Canadian Business and Community Leaders 

Standing with our Jewish friends and neighbours and defending the 

Canadian values that allow every community to thrive

 Antisemitism and hate have reached an alarming level across Canada.

Jewish Canadians are facing an extraordinary number of incidents of hate, harassment and violence.

We are Italian Canadian business and community leaders, united in our belief that our community has a responsibility to speak out.

For generations, Jewish and Italian Canadians have helped build this country together. Across Canada, our communities have shared neighbourhoods, built businesses, created opportunities and contributed to the social, cultural and economic fabric of this country.

Our shared Canadian story is one of immigration, hard work, opportunity and resilience, but also discrimination. Italian Canadians know the consequences of prejudice and the importance of standing together. We also know that no Canadian should be targeted because of their connection to their homeland and the celebration of their roots.

Today, we call on Canadians from coast to coast to reject antisemitism, violent extremism and hate.

Hate and antisemitism are not just attacks on those directly targeted. They are attacks on the Canadian values that unite us all.
