Democracy rests, above all, on trust. We trust our leaders to act in our interests. We trust our democratic institutions to hold them to account when they fail to do so. We trust our media to report on those activities, and we trust our fellow citizens to speak and act in good faith. 

In short, trust is the fundamental coin of the realm in democracies, and Canadians are experiencing a worsening crisis of it. Left unchecked, such mistrust will undermine the legitimacy of Canada’s democratic institutions. 

The latest hit to that trust came in the form of the recent report...

Skokie, IL

When a Jewish man in Skokie wanted to go to a Nazi march and beat up the participants, he first wrote the Rebbe to hear if he is allowed to use violence…. In June of 1978, a huge Nazi march planned to march through Skokie, Illinois. Mr. David Shatz, a friend of Lubavitch and a member of the Jewish Defense League (JDL), was furious. Passionate about sticking up against Nazi anti-Semitism, he felt a strong desire to show up to the march and violently attack the marching participants.
