6 days ago | readthemaple.com | Emma Paling

In key regions where Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives made gains in last month’s election, voters face higher-than-average increases in housing costs, a growing homelessness crisis and the threat of tariff-induced mass unemployment. Voters in Kitchener and Windsor, Ont. chose change, even if that meant booting out beloved incumbent MPs, including one who had represented his community for 23 years.

Although both the Liberals and Conservatives enjoyed their highest vote shares in decades in last month’s federal election, experts say both parties have areas of support that are soft and could shift back to smaller parties in the years ahead. Ninety-one per cent of MPs in the House of Commons are now Liberals or Conservatives, a nine per cent increase from the results in 2021.

In February, I released Find IDF Soldiers, a database containing profiles of Canadians that have joined the Israeli military. Many of the soldiers attended Jewish schools in Canada, and sometimes attributed their decision to join the Israeli military in part to their time at these institutions. A subsequent review of the schools in question — including curricula, mission statements and activities — revealed many openly support the Israeli military and celebrate students who join it.

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre is getting an easier ride at media events during the current election than Liberal Party Leader Mark Carney, an analysis by The Maple finds. The data shows that despite Poilievre’s constant complaints that the media go easy on his Liberal opponents, the opposite is true in this election campaign.

I know many of you will be factoring Palestine into your decision on how to vote in the upcoming federal election. With that in mind, it’s important to know where Canada’s major parties, particularly the Liberals and Conservatives, stand on Palestine in terms of their foreign policy and how they relate to the Palestine solidarity movement within Canada.

Mark Carney’s Liberal Party is avoiding questions about a Canadian company receiving a contract to supply the Israeli military with up to $78.8 million of artillery propellants, despite the Liberal government’s promise to block military exports to Israel last year.

A star Liberal Party candidate was involved in the University of Calgary’s decision last year to call police to campus to forcibly dismantle a pro-Palestine encampment on the same day it was erected. Corey Hogan, who announced his nomination as the Liberal candidate for Calgary Confederation on April 1, is a member of UCalgary’s executive leadership team as vice-president (communications and community relations), a role he’s held since April 2024.
CIJA Lobbied Or Sponsored Trips For 58% Of MPs Running In 2025

1 month ago | readthemaple.com | Davide Mastracci |Emma Paling |Alex Cosh

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) is a Zionist lobby group that has a stated priority of “strengthening the Canada-Israel Friendship.” It has aimed to do so in several ways, including lobbying MPs and taking them on fully paid trips to Israel. I’ve published several articles on CIJA’s activities since 2022, including a list of the 10 MPs most lobbied by CIJA and a breakdown of MPs CIJA has taken to Israel.

On March 10, Mark Carney became the new leader of the Liberal Party, and four days later, the sitting prime minister until the upcoming election on April 28. Carney received nearly 86 per cent of leadership votes, trouncing runner-up Chrystia Freeland, who secured just 8 per cent. In every riding association across the country, Liberal members broke decidedly for the former central banker.
