Parliamentarians in democratic countries are elected to represent an serve their electorates not foreign entities. This convention has been broken in several countries, including the United States, and now a group of Canadian parliamentarians has vowed to take its orders from the Palestinians. The group includes Omar Alghabra and Elizabeth May at a recent meeting. It is most concerning that the lawmakers see their duty to a foreign power over the interests of their own country and citizens bodes ill for the survival of democracy, which has already been severely battered with autocratic and often brutal responses to Covid19.
