The sharp decline in the Jewish population in Quebec between 1996 and 2001 can’t be explained by more Jews choosing “Canadian” as their ethnic origin in the 2001 census to the exclusion of “Jewish,” says Jack Jedwab, executive director of the Association for Canadian Studies.
Percentage-wise, Jews in Atlantic Canada and Saskatchewan were mostly likely to include Canadian as part of their ethnic origin, 24 per cent and 19 per cent, respectively.
Jews’ tendency to list Canadian as an ethnic origin was similar to other European-origin communities with pre-World War II roots in this country, such as Ukrainians, Jedwab found.

This notorious allegation that Jews murder non-Jews, especially Christians, in order to obtain blood for the Passover or other rituals is a complex of deliberate lies, trumped up accusations, and popular beliefs about the murder-lust of the Jews and their blood-thirstiness, based on the conception that Jews hate Christianity and mankind in general.
