Ontario's Solicitor General, Michael Kerzner, has called for stronger enforcement against hate crimes in Toronto following a disruptive anti-Israel protest at the Eaton Centre. In a letter to Toronto's police leadership, Kerzner urged the use of all available resources and laws to address rising incidents of harassment, intimidation, and antisemitism, expressing disappointment over what he described as insufficient police response to recent events. The Toronto Police responded by highlighting their efforts, including hundreds of arrests and the expansion of their Hate Crime Unit, but noted they require further legislative support to effectively prosecute offenders. The city has seen a historic rise in hate crimes, particularly targeting the Jewish community, with several high-profile incidents reported in recent weeks.
