A Jewish family in Montreal was subjected to antisemitic abuse at La Fontaine Park on Sunday evening while spending time with visiting relatives. The incident began when the father approached a woman walking two dogs in the children's playground area and calmly informed her that dogs were not allowed. The woman, later identified as Brigitte Doyon, launched an expletive-filled rant captured on video, telling him in French, "Jews aren't allowed here." She also insulted the children, saying they were "f*cked up because they don't f*cking go to a normal school." The father pointed to a nearby sign warning of a $300 fine for dogs in the playground. The family waited over an hour for police before leaving and filed a formal report on Monday. The father expressed shock and noted that such hatred is becoming increasingly common for the Jewish community. Montreal police confirmed they are investigating whether charges should be filed. The video circulated widely on social media, leading to Doyon's identification as an interior designer.
