The Winnipeg Jewish Federation told CTV News it is aware of some threats received in the community. While the federation itself did not receive any threats, it confirmed some synagogues received emailed threats on Wednesday.

In Ontario and Quebec, more than 100 Jewish institutions received an identical email early Monday threatening explosions including at their offices, according to B’nai Brith Canada.
