Sad, but not surprising. B'nai Brith is a hateful zionist organization, not a respectable Jewish organization. We fought long and hard to end housing discrimination over half a century ago. In the 60's there were still many places which would not rent to Blacks or Jews, with entire "No Jews" neighbourhoods. Never Again means Never Again for Anyone. 'I asked if Jews were prioritized or given exclusive access. They replied: “Before it was a priority, but recently, the landlord actually made it as a mandatory.” I replied saying this was too bad, as I’m not Jewish. The agent added, “I know, but it’s the landlord that changed the policy.” BB doesn’t state anywhere on its housing page that its apartment buildings are only or primarily for Jewish people. In contrast, the oldest of the two senior buildings is described in a 1989 Ottawa Citizen article as an “apartment building for seniors of all races and religions,” and a 1988 Toronto Star article stated the second senior building will “serve all faiths.” ... The Ontario Human Rights Code states that every person has a right to equal treatment in housing without facing discrimination on protected grounds such as “ethnic origin” and “creed.” A page about renters’ rights on the City of Toronto website states: “A landlord is not allowed to ask [...] your religion or ethnic background,” and, “A landlord must adhere to the Human Rights Code and cannot select or refuse tenants based on: [...] ethnic origin, religion.”' (IOW, seniors-only housing is perfectly legal and common, but discriminating against non-Jews is not.) https://www.readthemaple.com/bnai-brith-canada-wont-rent-to-non-jews-reps-say/ #cdnpoli #onpoli #discrimination #xenophobia #racism
