Mr. Speaker, well, friends are supposed to have each other's backs. The Deputy Prime Minister likes to say her government stands with Israel, but it is hard to believe given some of her comments last week.
When asked about this vote, she tried linking Canada's decision to support this anti-Israel resolution to what she called “a worrying rise of authoritarian regimes...[and] anti-democratic populism”.
Was the Deputy Prime Minister seriously trying to compare Israel to authoritarian regimes?
