The Canadian BDS Coalition has launched an effort to ask the leaders of all federal parties as well as candidates running for office in the 2021 federal elections to answer a questionnaire about their positions on key issues affecting Palestine and the Palestinian people. This effort, #IVotePalestine, has already received responses from the Bloc Quebecois and the Communist Party, as well as a number of individual candidates, including Green and NDP candidates.
Organizations across Canada — and internationally — are endorsing the campaign! See the list of endorsers below, and click here to endorse: https://bdscoalition.ca/2021/08/23/endorse-ivotepalestine/
