Canada Talks Israel/Palestine 
it’s very depressing to see how the Prime Minister exploits public ignorance and indifference with regard to many global and justice issues. Characterietic of slick political technique but unworthy of National Leadership
The Toronto Star may have published it, but they’ve subsequently flushed it down the memory hole. It’s no longer anywhere to be found on their website.
Hey Anonymous, I try to remain focused on the positive. The Toronto Star did publish it and someone saw it and sent it to me, and I circulated it to 650 of my subscribers. It has now had nearly 3000 views. That is great. Of course I am disappointed that the Star no longer has it on their website. They did a little bit, and I hope that, with encouragement, they will continue to do so. best.
