As a non-Jew married to a Jew, one harsh thing I learned over the past year is that I had severely underestimated how much antisemitism exists in Canada and especially in my lefty academic bubble.

My wife has always had a more cyclic view of history compared to me and was raised with cultural narratives for all this. Of course it still sucks for her, but I was fucking **blindsided.** I didn’t think I was naive, I suppose that’s always how that goes, but damn

Hugs. I have Family in montreal, they say antisemitism really gone up
