Fear and Faith in a Synagogue Shooting Near Ontario's Jewish Community In recent months, the Canadian government has acknowledged a disturbing trend: a surge in antisemitism that has left its Jewish community on edge.

A police officer and one man were wounded in an exchange of gunfire, leaving many to wonder if the target was the synagogue itself or simply a misguided individual.
