He's beem very low in the polls for almost a year now and is determined to fight the next election rather than leaving politics. I can only suspect he's trying to ensure the Muslim and radical young person vote and is ignoring anything resembling a moral decision. I think this is going to bite him in the ass - hard. Look at the comments under the stories about this development. Virtually no one in this country supports this move. I suspect this may be the final straw for some Jewish Liberal MPs, particularly Anthony Housefather, who has been trying to keep the Liberal Party in its traditional position of supporting Israel. I can well imagine Housefather - and maybe others - "crossing the floor", i.e. leaving the Liberal Party and either sitting as independents or outright joining the Conservative Party. Or maybe he/they will just resign their seats altogether. Of course this is seen as being tantamount to treason by the party that is losing the member(s) and isn't something that happens terribly often. I'm not sure how many Liberal MPs support Israel besides Housefather but if there are enough, it could even mean that the Liberals plus the NDP don't have enough votes to prevent a vote of non-confidence. There's a chance this could trigger an election a year and a half early. Of course, that would be a WONDERFUL outcome. Most of us can't wait until the next election so we can turf the Liberals and their NDP enablers. It would be absolutely delicious if this did cause a vote of non-confidence and cause the government to fall and an early election to be called. It would be like scoring on your own goal and would make a fitting end to Trudeau's Reign of Error. -- Rhino
