The Canadian Jewish News (CJN) is a non-profit,[3] national, English-language tabloid-sized newspaper serving Canada's Jewish community.[4][5][6] Though independent, the newspaper has been owned, since 1971, by a group of Jewish leaders allied with what was then the Canadian Jewish Congress.[2][7] The national edition of the newspaper is published in Toronto. A weekly Montreal edition in English with some French began its run in 1976.[8]

On April 22, 2013, the newspaper issued termination notices to its 50 staff and announced that it will cease printing with its June 20th edition due to financial constraints. The publishers are seeking benefactors to provide funding that would allow CJN to continue as an exclusively online publication that is less reliant on advertising[3][9] but is is unclear whether that will be possible.[2][10]

Editorially, the newspaper is pro-Zionist but is otherwise non-partisan in regards to Israeli or Canadian political parties and was independent of the CJC and its successor, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.[11] In 1979, it adopted editorial guidelines that prevent articles from criticizing the state of Israel's security policies.[12] The CJN had a circulation of 40,000, making it the second most widely read Jewish newspaper in the country, trailing its free competitor the Jewish Tribune. It was published in Montreal and Toronto and sold in Jewish communities across Canada and by subscription.

Notable contributors to the newspaper have included J.B. Salsberg, who was a featured columnist in the newspaper for several decades until shortly before his death in 1998, and Rabbi Gunther Plaut, who also contributed a weekly column for many years.

The Canadian Jewish News was founded by Herut supporter M. J. Nurenberger and his wife Dorothy and was first published on Friday, January 1, 1960. In 1971, following the death of his wife, Nurenberger sold the newspaper to a group of investors that included Murray Koffler and Albert Latner and was led by philanthropist and businessman Ray Wolfe.[9][12] Nurenburger soon regretted his decision and started the Jewish Times in 1974, which was decidedly more right wing than CJN under its new management, and continued publication into the early 1990s.

Ottawa has committed a series of anti-Semitic crimes against Canada and politicians who failed to protect Canadian Jews from harm will be tried for treason. The Ministry of Defence has been notified and severe dereliction of duty has been documented.
