The 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.

Doesn't this riding have a higher Jewish population, who were already on the fence about the Liberals because of their handling of the war?

Fuck, talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory NDP. This is the level of stupid that Conservatives normally do.

At this point I hope the rising goes BQ.

Edit: I guess according to 338Canada NDP really never stood a chance. Still a dumb move by the NDP.

Having their candidate's back is not a dumb move. It is the right move.

It was a dumb move by the candidate to begin with.
