This week, House Speaker Greg Fergus censored Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre for a day because Poilievre accused Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly of appeasing supporters of Hamas. Unsurprisingly, Joly demanded an apology – but Canadians just need to look at the government’s actions since the deadly October 7th attack to judge for themselves if the Trudeau government has abandoned Canada’s traditional pro-Israel stance to appease terrorist sympathizers for political purposes. The leader of Hamas certainly thinks so – he even thanked Canada for its public stance.
