Although we would like to think that anti-Semitism was only a belief held by Nazis, it was common across Canada. In Toronto, anti-Semitic signs were placed on lawns, shirts were sold with the swastika symbol, and slurs were hurdled at Jews living in some communities to make them feel unwanted.
In Winnipeg signs were placed in public areas forbidding Jews from sharing the same space. Many political parties clearly stated their dislike for Jews including Adrien Arcand the leader of the National Unity Party. His newspaper the Canadian Nationalist spread hatred of foreigners and preached the idea that some races were better than others. The ideas of dictators from around the world were popping up here in Canada creating conflict.
How do these ideas spread?
