I mentioned in an earlier post that I was at a great program on Thursday, November 29th at Beth Tikvah Synagogue in Toronto. Visions for Canada is billed as an opportunity to engage with senior politicians on issues of interest to the Jewish Community. The first program was that night, featuring Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau. With almost 500 in attendance, I think we can call it a rousing success.
When asked about Canada’s relationship with Israel, Justin came out with a straightforward and direct answer.
The Liberal Party has Israel’s back.
Check out the video below for this great answer (sorry about the shaky hands).
I am glad that in Canada, the Liberal Party and the government fully support Israel, our only democratic partner in the Middle East.
