Canada: For The First Time In 20 Years, The Menorah Won’t Be Displayed Outside East Coast City Hall


This is not coincidental. It is overt hatred of Jews disguised as religious “neutrality.” Expect to see hatred of Christians increase now that the so-called “Canadian Human Rights Commission” have just declared Christmas and Easter holidays to be “colonialist” and “discriminatory.” But don’t worry, not all is lost. They evidently seem to love Islamic “holy days” such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha

Update: City reverses decision after widespread public outcry …

CBC – “For the first time in 20 years, the menorah will not be displayed outside Moncton city hall during Hanukkah.

Moncton Mayor Dawn Arnold conveyed the decision to Weil on Monday.

Francis Weil, president of the Moncton Jewish Community, says the city’s decision not to allow the menorah is a profound ‘hurt’ to the people he represents.

At the meeting, the mayor said ‘city hall should be neutral as far as religion is concerned,’ Weil said.

He said the decision was further discussed Thursday, when Arnold met with Weil and other members of the community.

Weil followed this up with a news release, saying that in making the city’s case, Arnold cited a 2015 Supreme Court ruling against municipal councils opening their meetings with prayer.

Weil called the court ruling about council meetings a ‘pretext.’

Despite numerous efforts to speak to Arnold and city spokesperson Isabelle LeBlanc throughout the day Friday, CBC News was unable to confirm the menorah decision or the rationale for it. There was no response at all.

Meanwhile, Christmas symbols, including angels with trumpets, are on display outside Moncton city hall. In light of the menorah decision, Weil called this ‘an indicator of discrimination.'” Read more.
