This attitude, in Maclean's, becomes "a certain detachment from non-Hasidim". Cute.
I won't deny there is antisemitism in Outremont. I even remember the sons of proeminent Liberal senators and lawyers bragging about collecting yarmukles for sport, back when I was in High School. But to tell this story without aknowledging that the Hassidics are themselves an unapologetically xenophobic sect of Judaïsm is to completely miss the point.

FYI, Tim Horton, according to B'nai Brith's Anti-defamation league, 52% of Canadian antisemitic incidents in 2009 took place in Ontario.
Still waiting to read about that story in my favourite newsweekly...
