“I am very concerned about the growing tide of antisemitism on our campuses and other areas of the province. We must stamp that out in all its forms,” Hudak told the Jewish Tribune. 
“I was very proud to stand by my colleague [Thornhill MPP] Peter Shurman,” Hudak continued, “who brought forward a resolution in the legislature condemning Israeli Apartheid [Week]. That is a repugnant concept, and I’m very pleased Peter’s motion caused the other parties to back that motion.” 


During the interview Hudak added that his trip to Israel in 2005 helped him see Israel’s security concerns clearer.
“What caught my eye was Israel’s defending its right to exist; [as I was] standing on the border of Lebanon, and seeing Hezbollah flags flying just meters away. It was extraordinarily alarming. I’ll do everything I can as leader to defend the state of Israel.”

In a political climate dominated by pragmatism and polls it is nice to see some politicians stand up for principle.

Size matters, at least when it comes to Ontario politicians and their Christmas trees.


Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak went on a search after a two-metre-tall balsam fir that was outside his office Monday was replaced with one about half that size.


“We had a beautiful tree, but all of a sudden it had mysteriously walked away,” Hudak said Tuesday as his staff handed out stickers with the banner “free Tim’s tree” above a picture of a colourfully lit tree.


“It was replaced with one that looks a bit more like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.”


Turns out Speaker Steve Peters felt the tree for his office wasn’t large enough, so he sent staff out to get a bigger one, which they found outside Hudak’s third floor office.


“The Speaker’s apartment tree wasn’t quite large enough and the closest tree that was located was found on the third floor,” said a stone-faced Peters, tongue firmly in cheek.


“It was brought to my attention that that was the tree that belonged to one of the honourable members, and I sincerely apologize for that happening.”

I always liked the Charlie Brown Christmas tree it embodies the true spirit and character of Christmas.
