Why not give Palestine a crack?
…hours before agreeing to accept the Liberal/NDP government's wording, NDP/Liberal foreign affairs critic Heather McPherson said the time had come to "recognize Palestine." (???)
Once the US base is built and the peacekeeping force moves in they're going to need a provisional system of Govt, police and an election pronto.A motion from the NDP/Liberals initially calling on Canada to recognize the "State of Palestine" passed amid widespread acrimony on Monday, after the Liberal/NDP’s drastically altered its wording to see the government simply work towards that aim as part of a two-state solution….so waffling to try & please both sides while pleasing neither, so optics at best.

After appearing destined to fail when the governing Liberal/NDP’s vowed Monday to not let the opposition sway its foreign policy, Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon shocked MPs on both sides of the aisle when he rose in the final minutes of debate to advance a nearly 500-word motion that rephrased considerable portions of the NDP/Liberal motion.

After generating considerable international attention and division among MPs during a nearly day-long debate, the non-binding but symbolic NDP/Liberal motion ultimately passed 204 to 117.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and almost all Liberal/NDP MPs voted in favour, alongside NDP/Liberals, Bloc Quebecois and all both Green MPs. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his party voted against the proposal.
While nearly every element of the motion was altered, arguably the biggest change came in the final line…while Jagmeet Singh was ecstatic to just appear relevant. He’ll call it a win ‘cuz his name got mentioned not as the punchline of a joke he believed.

NDP motion regarding Palestinian statehood passes after major Liberal alterations — CTV News
A motion from the federal New Democrats initially calling on Canada to recognize the 'State of Palestine' passed amid widespread acrimony on Monday, after the Liberals drastically altered its wording to see the government simply work towards that aim as part of a two-state solution.

Insisting the did not intend to use this motion as a "gotcha" political tactic, she called the choice to not do more to aid starving children who "are not Hamas" political.
The above sounds so oddly familiar…
Talks had taken place between the Liberal/NDP’s and their non-coalition coalition that’s definitely not a coalition-type coalition supply-and-confidence deal NDP/Liberal partners behind the scenes leading up to the debate about the wording of the motion and potential amendments…so surprisingly not surprising.

It's going to take a peacekeeping force...Humiliation loomed, until … at the 11th hour, after debate in the chamber had closed, the Liberal House leader, Steve McKinnon, stood to put forward a series of amendments. The most consequential was a proposal to replace the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state with language more in line with current policy: that Canada would work with international partners to pursue the goal of a “comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East, including towards the establishment of a state of Palestine as part of a two-state solution.”
The motion’s sponsor, NDP MP Heather McPherson, agreed to the amendments and Trudeau’s blushes were spared.
We will doubtless find out the quid for this particular quo in the next budget.
The hasty nature of the rescue act was apparent from the fact that McKinnon did not even table a French translation of the amendment.
The whole thing smacked of farce and furtive intrigue. MPs on all sides complained that their parliamentary privileges were infringed because for hours they had debated a motion that, when finally presented for vote, bore little resemblance to the original.
Since the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said, “Canada will stand with Ukraine with whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.”

We will doubtless find out the quid for this particular quo in the next budget
On Monday night, Justin Trudeau’s actions told our Israeli allies, “Canada will stand with Israel until it gets mildly uncomfortable for the Liberal Party.”
Both Ukraine and Israel have been invaded by brutal, sadistic enemies who launched deadly and illegal invasions. To Trudeau, and his Liberal Party who voted in favour of the NDP motion, only Ukraine can really defend itself.
Standing with Ukraine is the principled position that Canada should take, but so too is standing with Israel, with whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.
And here is where domestic politics, specifically ethnic diaspora politics, enters the equation and changes Canada’s position from one of principle to one of expediency.
There are an estimated 1.3 million Canadians with Ukrainian ancestry, and they have a strong interest is supporting Kyiv. By comparison, there are fewer than 350,000 Jews in Canada but nearly 1.8 million Muslims, a fact not lost on the Liberals as they shifted Canada’s allegiances on Monday.

Both countries are democratic allies of Canada, but Trudeau treats them differently based on votes at home
They’ve got one. It’s called Hamas. They’re just not good at keeping the peace or maintaining a cease-fire with their neighbours, or not robbing their own citizens, etc…so maybe they can deputize the UNRWA employees for their shifts that aren’t for UNRWA or Hamas if any of them are looking for a third job?
The US is building a "base" but they call it a "humanitarian port". The peacekeeping force will be there to rescue Palestine from themselves and protect them from Israel.

OTTAWA - The societal fissures forming around the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip played out Monday in the House of Commons as an NDP motion to recognize Palestine as a state was turned on its head before the final vote.
Trudeau's signature climate policy was introduced in 2019, but it has been opposed by most Canadian provinces. Last year, the government offered a three-year carbon tax exemption for home heating oil and higher carbon tax rebates for people in rural areas (Specifically the Maritimes), to bring relief amid soaring costs of living to usually Liberal leaning Maritime provinces.
The next federal election must be held by October 2025 and recent surveys of public opinion show the Conservatives will easily defeat the Liberals, who have been in office since November 2015.
Legislators (meaning the Liberal/NDP, the NDP/Liberals, the Bloc who only support Quebec who doesn’t pay the Federal Carbon Tax, & all both Greens) voted 204-116 (the Conservatives) to defeat the motion introduced by Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who says the tax imposes too great a cost on Canadians.

So…expect another NDP/Liberal capitulation to the Liberal/NDP’s in the days to come…as part of their pocket a favour promise to the Liberal/NDP’s for the universal Pharma care agreement that isn’t universal or a Pharmacy agreement…

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government on Thursday survived a no-confidence motion brought by the opposition Conservative Party over Canada's carbon tax, which looks set to be a major issue in an election likely to be held next year.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's attempt to pass a vote of non-confidence and bring down Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal minority government over the carbon tax failed Thursday.
The Liberal/NDP only have a minority of seats in the House of Commons elected chamber and rely on support from the smaller left-leaning NDP/Liberals, who voted to back the government. Surprise!!?

NDP/Liberal MP Charlie Angus mocked Poilievre’s threat of bringing down the government over the carbon tax and noted that it was not the first time that the Conservative leader had made a promise to slow down the work of the Commons without exactly following through…due to the non-coalition coalition that’s definitely not a coalition-type coalition…that no Canadian voted for.

Sparks fly as non-confidence motion fails to bring down Liberal government over federal carbon tax — National Post
There were references to 'Liberal math' and the Three Little Pigs but minimal talk of Canada’s environmental policies after the Poilievre introduced a 'motion of non-confidence'
Yep. The three Liberal MPs that’re still Liberal MP’s (more or less) joined all 115 Conservative MPs in voting against the motion…so that left the Liberal/NDP’s & the NDP/Liberals in lockstep with the Bloc & all two Green MP’s voting for it.
I’m assuming this will be amazingly similar to those that voted for and against the confidence motion on Justin Trudeau’s increase in the Carbon Tax(s) again this coming April Fools Day…with the exception of the 3 Liberal MP’s.
