October 7th, One year later: The Promised Land Project

The world awoke to shock and horror on October 7th, 2023. What has become clear in the year since that barbaric attack by Hamas, is that the status quo of the past few decades is no longer with us. We have entered into a new era of geopolitical relations in the Middle east, ethnic tension, and diaspora politics in Canada and across the western world.

In response, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI), the premier think tank in Canada focused on federal policy, is leading the way with a first-of-its-kind policy program. The Promised Land project addresses the critical gap of expert thought leadership that has enabled antisemitism to thrive. Through this initiative, we seek nothing less than an intellectual rearmament of how Canadians view Israel, Middle East conflict, antisemitism, and extremism. On the anniversary of Hamas' attack, join us and our multidisciplinary team of Senior Fellows and key contributors to discuss the state of play in the Middle East and here in Canada.
