On June 6, 2023, CBC Midday Cafe interviewed CJPME Vice-President Michael Bueckert about the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, and the threats that it poses to free speech and activism related to Israel’s human rights violations against Palestinians. CJPME had previously sent a letter of concern following the show’s one-sided May 31 interview with pro-Israel group B’nai Brith Canada that celebrated Yukon’s proposal to adopt the definition but omitted any mention of the international controversy surrounding it. 

CJPME applauds CBC Midday Cafe for making an effort to restore balance to their coverage on this matter.

Please contact the Leonard Linklater to thank him for interviewing Michael Bueckert and balancing his coverage of IHRA.
