It has two photos of him meeting with the Israeli Ambassador to Canada with the caption: This morning, I met with Israel’s Ambassador to Canada as part of ongoing engagement on technology, AI, and economic development. Dialogue matters, particularly in complex times. / Ce matin, j'ai rencontré l'ambassadeur d'Israël au Canada dans le cadre d'un engagement continu en matière de technologie, d'intelligence artificielle et de développement économique.

Jason Kenney: Ummm… founder of the UCP and CPC member / max donor here. Have been more than clear about this quisling. Quoting Stephen Gordon: No-one in the UPC or the CPC dares contradict this quisling. [In reference to Jeffrey Rath] Travis Dankin: This is your UNITED team, Jason. This is your fault.
