The two key comparison slides are below:
Andrew blogs and tweets public policy issues, particularly the relationship between the political and bureaucratic levels, citizenship and multiculturalism. His latest book, Policy Arrogance or Innocent Bias, recounts his experience as a senior public servant in this area.

I am not faulting the data analysis, because this is how Statscan collects data. But Jewish is both an ethnicity and a religion. When I fill out forms, I have to use the “other” field to indicate this.
Yes, it comes up as well in the census with respect to ethnic origin (I remember when Jedwad noting the sharp decrease in Jewish ethnic origin when in dropped from the top 50 listed). Likely lots of crossover between anti-jewish ethnic hate and anti-jewish religious hate.
