Seventeen buses intended to bring thousands of people to a mass rally against antisemitism in Ottawa, Canada on Monday morning were canceled without explanation even after having received full payment.
“Given the absolute silence of the sub-contractor and with no other explanation, we are driven to the view that this shameful decision is intended to disrupt our peaceful rally out of hatred towards Jews,” the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto said in a statement.
The name of the bus company was not immediately publicly available, but organizers said they would “respond aggressively with every legal and public affairs tool at our disposal.

Over 50 other chartered buses remain en route to pick up attendees to the rally, according to a UJA spokesperson.
“Just last month, we saw a similar situation take place where antisemitic activists refused to drive Jewish Americans leaving a rally in Washington, DC,” the UJA statement said.
