QUESTION: "We've seen some incredible increases in anti-Semitism. Across the country, I'm wondering what you think the role of the federal government is to help stamp that out." ANSWER PM...

Yes, the freedom to protest is sacrosanct and a really important part of our free, robust democracy. But that doesn't give you the right to make a fellow citizen feel unsafe in their own home, in their own community, in their own neighborhood. And we need to make sure that even as people are feeling extraordinarily impacted by what's going on on the other end of the world, they don't take it out on their fellow Canadians because, you know, that's not the kind of country we are."
