Across Canada, about 125 Jewish institutions have received bomb threats, and police have launched an investigation. This was reported by CBC News, according to UNN.

It is noted that all the emails were identical and contained threats of violent death with the use of explosives. The first call about the threatening email was received at 7:10 am from a synagogue in Hampstead, followed by other reports.
Montreal police deployed their units to some of the synagogues. Law enforcement officers also checked them for suspicious packages and people. They found nothing. Soon after, police in Toronto, York Region, Hamilton, Ottawa, and Calgary released statements confirming that synagogues and other Jewish organizations had received the email and that officers had been dispatched to each. They all stated that no explosives were found.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reacted.
I am outraged by reports that more than 100 Jewish institutions across Canada have been targeted with threats today. This is blatant anti-Semitism,
