Shaarey Zedek, Winnipeg's largest synagogue, was vandalized early Friday morning with swastikas and hate-filled graffiti, prompting a hate crime investigation by local police. Security footage captured the suspect defacing the building and later tossing a suspicious package from a nearby bridge, leading to an evacuation and a bomb squad response. The package was found to be harmless, but police continue to treat the situation with caution. The Jewish Federation of Winnipeg condemned the attack as an act of antisemitism and emphasized the community's resilience, noting increased security measures and ongoing cooperation with authorities. This incident follows a broader rise in antisemitic acts in Canada, with calls for decisive action from leaders and the public to address hatred and ensure accountability.
