When Canadian laws exist but aren't enforced equally, who decides which communities get protection? Gustavo Rymberg, CEO of the Hamilton Jewish Federation and King Charles III Coronation Medal recipient, sits down with Neil Silvert to discuss a growing crisis in Canadian governance.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why communities pay for their own security while governments ignore existing laws. How masked protest laws are selectively enforced. What happens when only 31 of 169 MPs will sign a letter against hate crimes. The immigration system breakdown from someone who came here legally in 1997.

KEY TOPICS:

- Law enforcement double standards across Canadian communities

- Immigration policy failures and the legal immigrant vs. refugee distinction

- Government recognition of Palestinian state without parliamentary procedure

- Rising hate crimes and the "Plan B" conversation happening in established communities

- Media narrative control and government-funded journalism

- Security costs being absorbed by Canadian institutions

- All levels of government accountability - federal, provincial, municipal, police

ABOUT GUSTAVO RYMBERG:

CEO of Hamilton Jewish Federation since 2017, recipient of the King Charles III Coronation Medal for combating hate and building community resilience. Originally from Argentina, Gustavo immigrated to Canada in 1997 through Winnipeg's Grow Winnipeg initiative. Under his leadership, the Federation has strengthened Holocaust education through Margaret's Legacy and built community resilience during unprecedented challenges.

THE BIGGER QUESTION:

This isn't about one community - it's about whether Canada enforces its laws equally and protects all citizens. When government fails to protect one group, who's next?
