NDP defends Montréal byelection candidate Craig Sauvé over Palestinian flag on pamphlet
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/craig-sauv%C3%A9-palestinian-flag-pamphlet-1.7317357The NDP is leaping to the defence of Montréal byelection candidate Craig Sauvé after he was criticized for using a Palestinian flag on an election pamphlet.
"Craig Sauvé included a Maple Leaf on the leaflet in question, and frequently poses with the Canadian flag and Quebec flags — both of which he deeply loves and respects," a statement from the party says.
The pamphlet that has prompted criticism from the Conservatives and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) depicts Sauvé on the cover with a Palestinian flag flying behind him.
