The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Sept. 2, edition that nearly a fifth of the Liberal caucus has called for action against rising antisemitism after a Jewish woman in her 70s was stabbed at an Ottawa Loblaw store. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that Mount Royal MP Anthony Housefather shared a letter signed by 32 Liberal lawmakers, condemning the "deplorable" normalization of antisemitism in Canada. Ottawa police charged 71-year-old Joseph Rooke with aggravated assault and possession of a dangerous weapon, considering the incident a "hate-motivated crime." The grocery store is known for having a large kosher food section and the MPs said in their letter that Mr. Rooke was known for making "virulent antisemitic comments" on social media. "Three years ago, such an incident would have been shocking. Today, much less so," said the letter, posted Aug. 31. "From attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools and monuments, Jewish-owned businesses, Jewish community organizations and lately individual Jews themselves, antisemitism is becoming normalized." Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday called the Loblaw store attack "senseless" and "deeply disturbing."
