	Factum of the Intervener from Canadian Jewish Congress
		Factum of the Intervener from Canadian Jewish Congress
		Jewish gays and lesbians who are the subject of discrimination and seek relief under the IRPA would be required to prove that the discrimination was aimed not at their sexual orientation but at their religion, requiring that they emphasize one of their personal characteristics to the exclusion of another.
		Congress submits that the social and political concerns and values arguing in favour of including "sexual orientation" as a prohibited ground are tolerance and equality, and therefore the competing concerns and values must be intolerance and inequality, and these are not values or interests deserving of legislative consideration.

		The Canadian Jewish Congress is an umbrella group of Jewish organizations in Canada and constitutes the main lobby group for the Jewish community in the country though it often competes with B'nai Brith Canada in that regard.
		The CJC was founded at a convention held in Montreal in March 1919.
		In recent decades the CJC launched campaigns to pressure the Soviet Union to allow Jewish emigration, to pressure the Canadian government to prosecute Nazi war criminals who had settled in Canada, and to enact and use hate crimes legislation against anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers such as Ernst ZÃ¼ndel.

	Virtual Reality Comes to Canadian Jewry: The Case of the Canadian Jewish Congress Plenary - Ira Robinson
		From its founding in 1919 it has adumbrated the voice of Canadian Jewry and, indeed, it could even be said to have established the concept of a united, Canada-wide Jewish community in a period in which Canada itself was in the process of finding its independent voice in the world.
		Though the CJC and its printed programme are officially bilingual, The only exceptions to an all English Plenary were some remarks by the representative of the Canadian government, Dr. Hedy Fry, Secretary of State for Multiculturalism, and by Max Bernard, of Montréal, speaking on National Unity.
		Ultimately, if the new face of Jewish public discourse is to be the talk show, with all its potential and all its limitations, then the question of who controls the public discourse in the Jewish polity and, hence, sets policy for the Jewish community has to be asked in significantly new ways.

	Canadian Jewish News - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian Jewish News (CJN) is a weekly, English-language tabloid-sized newspaper serving Canada's Jewish community.
		Though independent, the newspaper has been, since 1971, owned by a group of Jewish leaders involved with Canadian Jewish Congress and is generally seen as reflecting the CJC's views.
		Editorially, the newspaper is pro-Zionist but is otherwise non-partisan in regards to Israeli or Canadian political parties and is more moderate than B'nai Brith Canada's newspaper, Jewish Tribune, which tends to be pro-Likud and right of centre.

	Canadian Jewish Congress Condemns and deplores tragedy in Kosovo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Congress commends the Government of Canada for acting in concert with the international community through NATO both to effect a cessation of the crimes being perpetrated in Kosovo and to ameliorate the human suffering in the region.
		CJC is also heartened by the government's provision of safe haven in Canada for thousands of refugees from the region, as part of the international response to the human tragedy of Kosovo.
		In the early 1990s the Canadian Jewish Community consistently urged the government to take action on behalf of tens of thousands of civilians caught in the crossfire of the break-up of the former Yugoslavia.

		The general mandate of the Canadian Jewish Congress National Archives is to collect and preserve documentation of the Jewish presence in Quebec and Canada.
		All aspects of the concerns of the Jewish community are reflected in the collection: immigration, integration into Canadian society, community organization, discrimination, Zionism, oppressed Jewry in other countries, education, literature, genealogy and much more.
		A new feature available through the CJC Archives is our Interpretive Guide to the United Restitution Organization Claims Files, a series of web pages designed to assist historians, survivors, and family members of survivors to understand the complex documents generated in attempts to obtain compensation from the German government after World War II.

		In collaboration with World Jewish Congress, CJC organized what was to become the second in a series of conferences around the globe on the “Forgotten Exodus” of the Jews from Arab lands.
		It is also calling on the Canadian government to focus attention — particularly in the final stages of negotiations — on our brothers and sisters who were stripped of their property and expelled from Arab countries in which they had lived for generations.
		Keith Landy is the national president of Canadian Jewish Congress and Joseph Gabay is the chair of its Quebec region.

	Klondike Jewish Cemetery Restoration Project
		Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Herb Gray, who is Jewish, was the keynote speaker and guests from Vancouver to Toronto joined locals to commemorate the Yukon-led cleanup of this old, nearly forgotten testament to the wandering Jews of a century ago.
		In 1902, when the Yukon Jewish population was at its height, Myer and his older sister, Anne, had attended a year of grade school there, but returned to Minnesota afterwards to live with the family of their deceased mother, Elka Oreckovsky Packer.
		Some eight Jewish merchants are thought to be buried there, but only five mounts, side by side, are known and only the one in the middle is marked, the usual wooden markers placed on the others having rotted away.

	"Virtual Reality Comes to Canadian Jewry" by Ira Robinson
		This normative understanding of the nature of the CJC Plenary is reflected in a recent press report that "The Congress holds a plenary assembly every three years to elect new directors and establish policy through resolutions." The theory thus mandates the adoption of community policy through open and public debate.
		It was Canadian scholar Marshall McLuhan who bequeathed to the world the epigram "the medium is the message." I believe that any analysis of the 1998 CJC Plenary has to proceed from that starting point.
		The Canadian Jewish News, Canada's national Jewish newspaper, printed an editorial on the occasion of the Plenary which incisively stated that the CJC "is as close to a 'parliament' of Canada's Jewish communities as today's communal organizational realities allow." In light of the present analysis, one can only agree.

	MyJewishLearning.com - History & Community: Canadian Jewry
		Jewish immigrants to Canada brought with them a tradition of communal life and developed a wide range of voluntary organizations and groups.
		Canadians provide their children with a more intensive Jewish education (55% of Canadian Jewish children attend Jewish day schools, versus 29% in the U.S) and have stronger ties with Israel (66% of Canadian Jews have visited Israel at least once, compared with 35% of American Jews).
		Canadian Jews embody both Judaism and Jewishness--the religious and the ethnic-cultural components that comprise Jewish life--continuing to renew Judaism and impact Jewish culture, continuity and community, while contributing to Canadian society as a whole.

		Canadian Jewish Congress president Ed Morgan remarked that while Arafat “put the cause of the Palestinian people on the map of political causes, he was incapable of putting a Palestinian state on the map of states.”
		Congress said it hopes that the new Palestinian leadership will reject violence “and be imbued with the necessary courage to pursue the ‘peace of the brave’” — using Arafat’s own oft-quoted phrase to describe the aftermath of the 1993 Oslo accords.
		Jewish criticism of Arafat revolved principally around the contention that he was two-faced and opportunistic: recognizing Israel — and basking in the international recognition the move afforded him — but refusing to halt terrorism against Israeli civilians; speaking about peace in English, but inciting Palestinians against Israel in Arabic.

		While Taylor and his "union" hovered on the fringes of Toronto society, he remained a mainstay in the movement, graduating to become a kind of father figure and eventually a "martyr" to the young Nazis and white racists of the latter part of the 20th century.
		As it became evident that Nazi Germany engaged in the attempted murder of an entire nation of people, Canadians and the rest of the world understood that the slippery slope of racism could lead to the horrors of Auschwitz and the murder of six million innocent Jewish men, women, children and countless other Europeans.
		Whereas ordinary Canadians resorted to violent direct action against organized hatred in the Christies Pits riots of the 30's, or the Allen Gardens riots of the 60's, by the 70's and 80's societal institutions took the lead in dealing with hate mongers.

		The least that may be said of the CJC is that it and the Canadian Jewish community have great need of our intervention.
		When Mulroney left office, most Canadians were thrilled...but Abella had the nicest words for him (since he was probably the most pro-Israel PM in Canadian history), who incidentally never received anything close to a plurality of Jewish votes.

	Ed Morgan 28-Jan-2004 Canadian Jewish Congress Fanaticism Infects the University of Toronto
		CJC welcomes the contemplated change to prevent persons indicted for promoting hate from claiming a defence of truth based on a denial of the Holocaust or any other historically recognized act of genocide.
		The immediate problem that I pose for the Canadian Jewish Congress is that there appear to be two authoritative, and yet contradictory, descriptions of the Jewish-soap story, one that affirms it and one that denies it, and so the CJC needs to propose some methodology for choosing between them.
		Thus, if there were theocratic Inquisitors on the Jewish side publishing their mandatory single truths, and also theocratic Inquisitors on the Ukrainian side publishing their mandatory single truths, then the Jewish and Ukrainian truths would sometimes clash, foreseeing the inevitability of which necessitates that the Canadian Jewish Congress propose a method of resolution.

	Canadian Jewish Congress Censorship Bid Thwarted
		CJC official Bernie Farber castigated the Collins column as "Holocaust denial" and "anti-Semitic hate speech." Such writing, he declared, "should never be tolerated in a free and democratic society."
		It is significant that this first-ever attempt in Canadian history to censor a writer by taking him to court for expressing his views was initiated by the country's leading Jewish-Zionist organization.
		Canadian newspaper publishers overwhelming agreed that the CJC complaint, and the law under which it was brought, threaten a basic right of Canadian citizens.

		A high percentage of the Jewish population resides in an area of Toronto known as North York, which until two years ago was a separate municipality.

	Combatting hate in Canada
		In contrast, state support for religion is as old as the Canadian constitution itself, so for Farber the fight is simple: If other religious groups in Ontario receive state support for their schools, then so too should the Jews.
		Representatives of all the Jewish movements, both religious and political, operate under the aegis of the Canadian Jewish Congress, except one: the B'nai B'rith, which decided it should follow an independent course, Farber said.
		Having such a broad representation in the Canadian Jewish Congress led to unusually prompt and united action recently when one of Canada's best known 'Jews for Jesus', a Baptist minister named Malvern Jacobs, died and his family wanted to have him buried in a Jewish cemetery.
