How antisemitism highlights Canada's growing fault lines

Stephen Staley, director of The Hub's new initiative Fault Lines, discusses rising antisemitic violence across Western democracies and the broader societal fractures threatening Canada's social cohesion. He argues that failing to address difficult topics like immigration, integration challenges, and public disorder allows illiberal forces to fill the void. He emphasizes the need for courageous conversations that balance pluralism with defending non-negotiable values, warning that Canada risks following a path toward political fragmentation. This episode is a part of The Hub's new Fault Lines initiative, which examines the pressures pulling Canadian society apart and the principles that can hold it together. Click here to learn more.
