Superb interview David. I am thoroughly impresed with Karina Gould. First the leadership debate and now this. What an intelligent, charismatic leadear.

Thanks, David.

I really enjoyed that. Karina did a great job of appearing knowledgeable and at the same time likeable

Soft, comfortable interviews have their place, but Gould is a controversial figure and there was room for a more prickly follow-up questions IMO.

Gould self-identifies as a zionist and hasn't publicly recognised the atrocities of the Nakba, so it is fair to ask her why she hasn't signed the https://armsembargonow.ca/ petition (unlike 23 of her fellow LPC MPs). Does she support Canadian-supplied arms being used to intentionally target children and civilians?

Does she recognise the authority and mandate of UN bodies and agencies such as ICJ, ICC, and UNRWA? (Her colleague Housefather does not – does she disagree with him?)

It would also be nice to see prominent Jewish MPs stand up for the rights of Jewish students to peacefully protest genocide without facing repercussions.
