This Election Matters to All of Us

April 28 the date of the Federal Election is fast approaching. It is crucial that all eligible voters get out and vote. But to do so it is important that you be informed and understand what the candidates and their parties are promising. Among the issues of concern to the Jewish and allied communities is where each party stands when it comes to Canada’s relationship with Israel. The Toronto Zionist Council has prepared a Zionist Pledge to highlight some critical policy platforms vis a vis the relationship between the two countries we love. Share this with your candidates and ask them to take the pledge. Copy vp@tzc.ca
