Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) Anchor Evan Solomon sparked outrage in questioning the appointment of Vivian Bercovici as Canada’s new ambassador to Israel, due to Bercovici being Jewish. Solomon’s comments came during a live interview with Foreign Minister John Baird on Thursday.
In the interview, mere hours after Bercovici was appointed to her new post, Solomon said to Baird….
“Vivian Bercovici is Jewish, so there are going to be some questions. Why not appoint someone who doesn’t even have the perception of any kind of bias (in favor of Israel)?”
Baird defended the choice, further clearly stating Canada’s position on it’s relationship with Israel and the PA.

I have always disliked the CBC for failing to tell the public the truth about “what nationality the shooter was”, or “what colour his skin was” etc. But…. in this case I feel the CBC had every right to “Speak the truth”. I’m getting sick of cultures being offended by the truth.
@ John Newton,
The problem here was that the CBC evidently believes that there is something wrong with a new ambassador to Israel being a supporter of Israel. CBC is a shill for the Palestinians, who repay the generosity of Israel and of many western nations by exporting terrorism and by raising up their youngsters to seek the annihilation of the Jewish people.
