Your P.M.’s party is the party of the right in Canada, somewhat similar to the American Republican Party. The Canadian Conservatives, like the Republicans in the U.S., are much more pro-Israel than the Liberal Party of Canada.
I watched the video and Im very impressed with Prime Minister Harper. He seems to be a very sincere person and a mentsch. What a contrast to our Commander in Chief.
Canada, Australia and the US (besides Obama) are the most pro Israel countries. It is interesting with the exception of England which are anti semitic, the anglo-saxon countries are the most pro Israel.
btw the liberals in Canada are also pretty pro israel far more than Obama.
