Demonstration against antisemitism and racism Sunday

A demonstration against antisemitism and other forms of racism is planned Sunday at noon at the Holocaust museum. There’s a Facebook link but it’s an open one. The museum is on Côte Ste‑Catherine, where the park across the street is mostly trees on that side, so it’s unclear where people are expected to gather, but I’m seeing this event tweeted generally so there’s bound to be quite a crowd.

Valérie Plante has tweeted her condolences to Pittsburgh along with many other Canadian politicians and notables (“Andrew Scheer wrote that he was praying for those affected”). CBC has a general piece about more security around Canadian synagogues but I imagine most Jewish institutions won’t be revealing many details about the measures they’re taking.

In tangentially related news, a man from Rosemont has been charged with inciting hatred of Jews (and, oddly, threats specifically to the family of Céline Dion, which may get him in more serious trouble).
