The NDP is leaping to the defence of Montréal byelection candidate Craig Sauvé after he was criticized for using a Palestinian flag on an election pamphlet.

"Craig Sauvé included a Maple Leaf on the leaflet in question, and frequently poses with the Canadian flag and Quebec flags — both of which he deeply loves and respects," a statement from the party says.

The pamphlet that has prompted criticism from the Conservatives and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) depicts Sauvé on the cover with a Palestinian flag flying behind him.

Why is it okay for one side to be represented in, and influence, Canadian politics and not the other?

If any candidate in any Canadian election is condemned by any organization for a pamphlete they put out, I'd be going after the offending party with the same rigor.

I don't gaf if they're race-based or faith-based, they can keep their fat noses out of our politics.
