Tensions flare between Poilievre, ministers on anniversary of Oct. 7 attacks
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre asks the government to condemn ‘antisemitic hate slogans’ used in Canada. Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly says the anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel should be a day when MPs ‘don’t do politics about people’s lives being taken.’ Minister of Justice Arif Virani says the government’s ‘resolve to fight antisemitism is strong.’
