Sinopsis

March 18, 2024 - "We've given the Liberals our red lines," says NDP foreign affairs critic Heather McPherson ahead of a vote on the opposition day motion brought forward by her party. The non-binding motion calls on the Canadian government to take a number of actions in response to the war in the Gaza Strip, including "officially" recognizing "the State of Palestine." Plus, we have reaction from Liberal MP Anthony Housefather, who is calling the motion a "huge slap in the face" for Canada's Jewish community.
