Statement on the Attack of Two Students in Gatineau

“The attack on two Carleton University students last Saturday in Gatineau, Quebec, with its troubling overtones of anti-Semitism, should serve as a reminder that we must remain ever vigilant against all forms of hatred, prejudice and intolerance. No free and open society can sit by when differences of opinion, beliefs or values become a trigger for violence and hope to remain free and open for long.
