Canadian real estate companies and a marketing firm are facing a complaint over alleged deceptive advertising of illegal Israeli settlement lands. The Canadian Competition Bureau is being urged to investigate the claims. The complaint, filed by the Global Echo Litigation Center and Canadian Lawyers for International Human Rights, alleges that the companies promoted properties for sale on occupied land intended for a Palestinian state at Israeli real estate events in Montreal and Toronto.
The six unnamed complainants, a mix of Palestinians and Jews, have chosen to remain anonymous. The complaint, spanning 127 pages, scrutinized the properties displayed at events held in Canada between March 2024 and May 2026. The complaint asserts that consumers in Canada may have been misled into believing the properties were in Israel.
