Before Liberals can replace Trudeau, they would have to reckon with Gaza
If the race to succeed Trudeau takes place while Israel is bombing Gaza, would-be leaders would be under intense pressure to appeal to voters who want Canada to push for a ceasefire. A leadership race dominated by an emotional conflict over the Middle East policy could leave the Liberals in a worse situation than they are now.
… Privately, Liberals are worried that the party could be swamped by new members who are only interested in that issue.
“They’re ripe for takeover if somebody’s got enough people who are motivated to do it,” said one veteran organizer, speaking frankly off the record.
The Islamist takeover is already near complete as support for Israel is an inch deep at best in the LPC and is professed with as much sincerity as a fake graves or stolen land acknowledgment.
The decision to fund UNRWA was Trudeau electioneering on the public dime to curry favour with the Hamas vote bloc.
