On Thursday, November 30, CJPAC joined with the Liberal Parliamentarians for Israel and the Canada-Israel Committee for a reception to celebrate the community and friendship for the Liberal Leadership Convention. The event was held at Montreal’s Intercontinental Hotel and ran from 9 PM to midnight.
At the event were Liberal leadership candidates, including Stephane Dion and Bob Rae. Carolyn Bennett, Liza Frulla, and many other noteworthy Canadian members of Parliament made appearances. The initially predominantly-Jewish crowd became more diverse as the night progressed. Near the end of the evening, the suite was completely packed and representatives from Radio Canada were recording conversations between politicians and CJPAC members. Numerous Liberal delegates representing all top 4 leadership candidates also attended the event.

Everyone except for Martha Hall Findlay showed…it’s also worth nothing that Bob Rae came for about 30 seconds, had a bite to eat, and left. Even Michael Ignatieff stayed longer, however, he came past 12, when many people were gone, and his party (down the hall) was over.
