Politics Today – April 14, 2013

On this edition of Politics Today RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda focused on Canada’s two main opposition parties, the Liberals and the NDP.

The Liberal Party of Canada is choosing a new leader in a pan-Canadian vote that ends on Sunday.

Meanwhile, in Montreal, the social democratic NDP party is holding a weekend policy convention. The Official Opposition NDP is planning for the scheduled federal election in 2015.

And Wojtek also talks about Canada-Israel relations, and the visit of Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird to Israel and his reaffirmation of Canada’s friendship and support of Israel.
