Assessment
A kosher restaurant in Montreal had a concrete block thrown through its window early Monday, the latest in a string of attacks on Jewish-owned businesses across Canada. The targeting of a specific neighborhood establishment signals that the threat is not abstract or limited to major city centers. Watch for whether local police treat this as a hate crime and whether other Jewish businesses in the area increase security measures.
