Mr. Speaker, yet again the NDP leader is refusing to take a principled stand on what matters most to Canadians. The NDP leader refuses to condemn the Canadian Union of Postal Workers for sending a delegation to an anti-Israel hatefest in Brazil.
What does going on a tropical vacation to spread anti-Zionist propaganda and call for the release of one of the world's most vicious terrorists of our time have to do with the mandate of the CUPW? Shame on the CUPW for having the nerve to send union bosses and cronies to an anti-Israel conference and to expect Canada Post to pay their way. What is even more disgraceful is that NDP leader finds nothing wrong with this.
It is time unions stopped trying to spend Canadians' hard-earned money to spread hate. Unions should return to their roots and focus on improving workers' conditions.
