Please read the following statement from Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, recognising Rosh Hashanah:
“Happy Rosh Hashanah! This is a day meant for reflection, prayer and family and community bonding. I am very attuned to the hardships of the past year since Hamas’ terrorist attacks on October 7. Jewish Canadians have been experiencing a surge of antisemitic hate. I was proud to introduce a motion in April that received unanimous consent from all parties condemning antisemitism. Jewish Canadians must feel the love of the larger community, for every man woman and child, with our wishes for a sweet New Year!”
