UCP convention-goers voted to ban permanent residents and other non-citizens from being party members or voting to nominate candidates.
Saskatchewan Party grassroots did something similar; it could have a large effect on party base makeup in some ridings.

Every time you see that the government is trying to raise our military spending to 5% of GDP, think about the fact that our total elementary and secondary school spending is 3.9% of GDP.

This Yves engler NDP leadership watch party is funny.
Some good points about no mention of military spending.
But the guests also keep referring to Yves as a candidate and he…. Isn’t.

The Freep probably wants to be more accurate ... CIJA is an Israeli organization, not a Jewish organization. Conflating the two, making it look like Jews in general want to stop the CMHR from talking about forced displacement of Palestinians, could feed anti-Semitism.
A national Jewish organization has launched a campaign targeting the Canadian Museum for Human Rights over an upcoming exhibit about the 1948 forced displacement of an estimated 750,000 Palestinians in what is now Israel.

It’s hilarious that cbc will not defend itself against Vance, or contextualize his jabs in how his administration has defunded any public media.
I anticipate good faith examination of his claims. “Is canadas standard of living *really* that bad!”?”
