A candidate for the NDP in next week’s byelection in Montreal’s Lasalle–Émard–Verdun riding is campaigning with a leaflet displaying the Palestinian flag, a move criticized by Jewish groups and the Tories, and which the NDP is defending.
“It’s ludicrous to suggest that when a politician is seen with another flag it’s un-Canadian, whether that’s the Ukrainian flag, Israeli flag, Palestinian flag or other nations,” the NDP said in a statement to media.
