In this edition of Hub Hits, Alan Kessel, a former assistant deputy minister and legal adviser to the government of Canada and deputy high commissioner of Canada to the United Kingdom, joins Sean Speer to discuss Canada’s changing stance on Israel amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Kessel critiques the Carney government’s joint statement on the war with the British and French governments, warns against what he sees as Western moral confusion and reflects on Canada’s significant diplomatic decline. They also touch on the dangerous rise of antisemitism in Canada, and what it will take for policymakers to reconnect national interests with core democratic values.
