Tom Mulcair Admits He Stopped Paul Manley Nomination To Run For The NDP

Tom Mulcair was just on CTV News and he admitted that he STOPPED Paul Manley nomination to run for the NDP

Saying that Paul Manley has Anti-Zionist Views & Anti-Isreal Views

Those positions are "anathema" (Mulcair's word) to Jack Layton and himself (Mulcair) on Isreal

That is why he STOPPED Paul Manley nomination to run for the NDP

Not surprising given his admission several years ago while NDP leader that he was 'an ardent supporter of Israel in all situations and circumstances.'

It's a position that'll serve him well as he runs for the Tory leadership.

Dimitri Lascaris just tweeted out a video of Mulcair comments about blocking Paul Manley running for the NDP

Yep.  Not a surprise.  He lost more than half the NDP seats.  Maybe he can do the same for them,

Pondering

He has a lot of nerve speaking for Jack Layton.

Not to mention that Layton was gone when the Thatcher worshiper blocked Manley.

Interesting look back (2015). 'Israel has no better friend than the NDP' - Mulcair. Amazing how much remains the same:

"In an international context, it would appear that Canada has the least control of any G7 country over its own foreign policy. Perhaps even in the US where tax dollars go more directly to maintaining the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Bizarrely, no matter who wins the upcoming election, Canada's Middle East policy now seems to be firmly based on Likudist agendas."

No room for anti-Israel commenting in Canadian politics
