It is, but I must admit—with enormous regret—that I think it's accurate and reflects how many in the community feel. I was speaking just yesterday with someone who was talking about attending synagogue services wearing a flak jacket. When you take your kids to school, there are multiple security measures that exist. It's akin to going to an embassy or trying to get through an airport, at times. This is Canada in 2026.
Listen, I think these issues stem from a number of factors. My view—and it's expressed in the piece—is that we desperately need leadership to stand up and make clear that this is wrong and won't be tolerated, and that action is going to accompany it. I certainly welcome what we saw yesterday, but it needs to be seen as a start, not as a wholesome solution.
