The legal representatives of Jeremy Levi, the mayor of Montreal’s Hampstead suburb, said they intend to drop him as a client for fear his criticism of a federal immigration plan for Gazans and his strong public support of Israel in its war against Hamas would cost them more clients, including one of the largest teacher unions in the province, according to court documents provided by Mr. Levi.
Mr. Levi, who heads a majority-Jewish municipality, has drawn attacks from the pro-Palestine movement and others over social media comments, in particular a post on X that read: “Given the recent behavior of the pro-Palestinian group, Canada should reconsider its immigration plan for Gazans. Their values seem incompatible with ours, and I have no desire to welcome more hatred into our country.”
