Tonight, on the Ezra Levant Show, John Robson joins Ezra to discuss Mark Carney's plans to recognize a Palestinian state.
Carney, announced his intention to recognise a Palestinian state, pending promises of reform that no one truly expects to be kept. The entire spectacle, wrapped in diplomatic language and high-minded rhetoric, is a masterclass in hollow politics and virtue signalling.
Carney insists that recognition will depend on democratic reforms in the Palestinian Authority and a Hamas-free government. But such conditions are laughably unrealistic. Mahmoud Abbas is in the 20th year of his four-year term, and Hamas hasn’t held an election since it won one in 2006. The promise of reforms is not new, it’s simply never been honoured.
No, and Carney doesn't care.

You erroneously think this is foreign policy.
It's not. It's domestic policy. It's about millions of antisemites who form the backbone of Carney's voter coalition. https://t.co/opBA5ogjzd
Carney’s speech was packed with tough-sounding “musts”: Hamas must disarm, elections must be held, hostages must be released. But what happens if those “musts” aren’t met? Nothing. Canada will still move forward with recognition. That’s not diplomacy, it’s delusion.
The truth is, this isn’t about foreign policy at all. It’s domestic. It’s about appealing to growing voter blocs who hold anti-Israel views. Melanie Joly said it outright when she was foreign minister — it’s about demographics. Recognition of Palestine is a political payoff, not a peace plan.

Even worse, Carney’s blunder puts Canada at odds with the United States, our most vital ally. U.S. President Donald Trump has already signalled displeasure, warning that Canada’s move could jeopardise trade. For a man hoping to lead a G7 country, picking a fight with the world’s most powerful economy over a virtue signal is as foolish as it is dangerous.
Canada used to be seen as an honest broker. Now, under Carney’s vision, we’re little more than a noisy irritant, irrelevant on the world stage and incoherent at home.

Paul Hastilow commented 2025-08-02 01:44:14 -0400It would appear that “Unelected Carney” is just like Trudeau, a WEF Schill and Klaus Schwab Puppet.
First let the Arabs fulfill the Requirements to be part of a Democratic World in the Modern Era, Stop “Sponging
Of their Fellow Citizens” stealing their Humanitarian Aid and selling it to them ,to Continue their Jehad Doctrine.
Only when they fulfil these Requirements, can they Be Assimilated into Normal Humanity. And Not a Radical Islamist State, Hell bent on Subjugating Christianity. There is ONLY one True GOD and HIS People own their Domain….! -

susan gerbes commented 2025-08-01 19:26:31 -0400this is another way to launder millions or billions of dollars to the PLO, just like Biden gave Iran 6billion for their people, to better their country…ha, makes me laugh. Then I think of Canada, my home and native land, and I have to cry….

Naida Traviza commented 2025-08-01 11:14:30 -0400Yes, this is all about getting ethnic block voting to increase . I wonder how many Jews in Canada voted for this man? We are on course to becoming like the rest of the commonwealth countries, overrun with Muslims and expanding anti-semitism.

Robert Pariseau commented 2025-08-01 10:51:46 -0400Everything is about votes here. If you’re not willing to auction your own vote, you’re in deep shit.

William Fraser commented 2025-08-01 08:40:01 -0400The invasion of Canada by Muslim Neanderthals is nearing completion, Carney is ensuring it!

Michael Guillery commented 2025-08-01 07:35:50 -0400Politicians are lent powers to implement the will of the people. Since Canadians generally are a peaceful caring people, then this should be the foundation that guides Canada’s politicans.

Takko K commented 2025-07-31 22:23:29 -0400How about looking at it through the prism of the globalists: sew chaos to then “rebuild the better”? “Better” means marxism/fascism under the WEF elite boot. “You will own nothing and be happy.”

Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2025-07-31 21:22:06 -0400First he imports the voters and now he’s given them a reason to vote for him.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-07-31 21:20:36 -0400Marx Carnage more like. He has zero understanding of Hamas.
