Liberal MP pushing Trudeau to recognize “Palestinian state”

After several European countries announced their recognition of Palestine as a state, Liberal MP Salma Zahid now says she’s pushing Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government to do the same. True North’s Andrew Lawton explains why this isn’t the path to peace that activists think it is. Also, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is pushing beer and wine sales into convenience stores ahead of schedule, challenging the Beer Store’s retail monopoly. Grant Dingwall of Free My Booze joins to discuss. Plus, despite Trudeau’s promise that “Canada is back” on the world stage, American lawmakers have reprimanded Canada for falling short of its NATO-committed defense spending. Does this matter? Andrew chats about it with Macdonald-Laurier Institute senior fellow Richard Shimooka. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
