More than 100 Canadian synagogues, Jewish organizations and doctors received the same threat Wednesday morning
A leader with the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver says a mass bomb threat made Wednesday morning against more than 100 synagogues and institutions across Canada is just part of the increasing hate their community is facing.
Dozens of Jewish organizations and doctors were emailed an identical threat early Wednesday, according to RCMP. Nothing came of the threats, which targeted people and sites in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver and beyond, but BC RCMP told Black Press Media local law enforcement are investigating and that British Columbians may see an increased number of officers in some areas.
"It was an extremely serious threat. It was causing major damage to buildings and lives, really wanting to hurt people." Pulver said the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver is now spending around $100,000 a month on security to keep people safe. Premier David Eby condemned the threat in a post to X, saying "B.C. unequivocally stands against antisemitism," while Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said his office is working alongside law enforcement to investigate what happened.
