evidence: The far-right nationalist government of Viktor Orbán in Hungary has run countywide anti-Soros campaigns with posters of his picture that echo the "laughing Jew" Nazi trope. The campaign blames him for the refugee crisis in Hungary. Orbán’s government has pushed the Soros-founded Central European University out of Budapest. The university’s chancellor, Canadian Michael Ignatieff, has argued that Orbán is a threat to academic freedom and university autonomy in Europe. [...] He is an icon for capitalism, a former hedge fund manager and currency speculator who made billions while weakening the economies of several countries. [...] Canada has generally not seen much anti-Soros paranoia, partly due to his lesser involvement in political activism and philanthropy here.
