What’s Happening in Canada?
My monthly summary of events in Canada that have come to my attention. Ontario MPP Michelle Cooper’s private members’ bill to establish a dedicated hate crimes Crown Prosecution Unit was passed unanimously by provincial lawmakers. Hate crime charges have been dropped, stayed or resolved without conviction in between 50% and 60% or cases. This unit […]
Our Statement on a Proposed California Eid Holidays
The CLARITy Coalition opposes state-wide designation of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as holidays in California (Bill AB 2017). The principle at stake is straightforward: people of faith deserve equal protection under the law, not the elevation of one faith community above others. This legislation fails that test. California law already guarantees excused absences for […]
Clear Insights: State Of The Struggle
Editor’s Note: Why This Matters Now Confusion today is not accidental; it is cultivated. Euphemism has replaced precision, and moral clarity is increasingly dismissed as intolerance. In this environment, asking necessary questions about ideology, power, and democracy is treated as provocation rather than responsibility. CLARITy Coalition exists because that evasion is not sustainable or acceptable. […]
Statement from the CLARITy Coalition on the Passing of Quebec’s Bill 9
CLARITy Coalition supports Quebec’s Bill 9 because it draws a line that too many Western institutions have been unwilling to draw: the public square is not a venue for organized religious assertion. This is not a rejection of faith. It is a defence of a shared civic framework, one where individuals are free to believe, […]

Op-Ed: Pluralism Without Clarity: Canada’s Failure to Confront Islamism
Canada prides itself on being an open, pluralistic society that embraces diversity while upholding democratic values. But there is a growing gap between what Canada claims to stand for and what it is willing to confront. Nowhere is that gap more evident than in its ongoing reluctance to address Islamism as a distinct ideological threat. […]
Targeted: What the Attacks on Canada’s Jews Reveal About a Moral Decay
Three Toronto synagogues were hit with gunfire during the week of March 1, 2026. In the same week shots were fired at the American Consulate in Toronto, three Jewish-owned businesses in Montreal were sprayed with swastikas and the front gates of McGill University were vandalized with antisemitic and anti-Israel graffiti. A gym owned by an Iranian who opposes the Islamic […]
Book review: Among the Righteous: Lost Stories from the Holocaust’s Long Reach into Arab Lands by Robert Satloff
Genocidal antisemitism is a striking characteristic of today’s Islamism, whether expressed by Hamas, Iran, or any number of imams in the West. Simply disliking, hurting, expelling or fighting Jews is not sufficient; they must be exterminated. Some of this language is couched as anti-Zionist or anti-Israel, but the death threat clearly applies to all Jews. Globally, […]
Canada can no longer ignore Iran’s dangerous shadow network
In his book “From Auschwitz to Tehran,” EranHermoni recounts a meeting in October 2000 between Spanish prime minister José María Aznar and Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. As Khamenei prepared tea, Aznar asked him a direct question: “When you wake up in the morning, what is the first thing you think about?” Khamenei stirred his cup […]
