Quebec rejects proposal to have armed security guards in Montreal Jewish schools, places of worship (CTV News Montreal, + Bell Media Syndication)
The Quebec government is rejecting a proposal from multiple local politicians who called for special permission to allow Jewish schools and houses of worship to hire armed security guards. The idea comes from a growing sense of unease following recent attacks in the Jewish community, however, the province says security is best left up to the police.
"This idea is one of many and one that was worth being explored, unfortunately, because we're in a position where we're concerned about security," said Yudin. "We're still waiting for the results in the investigation of who was responsible for the Molotov cocktails, who was responsible for the school shooting and what can be done to prevent the hate and the violence that we're seeing in our streets, the expressions of hatred, the incitement to violence against the Jewish community."
