Four Jewish panelists (one Israeli and three Canadians) discuss the pros and cons of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel.

The four panelists:

Michael Barkusky - Economist, accountant and political activist in South Africa (1970-77) and Canada (1989 - present)

Gabor Mate - Vancouver physician and author

Yonatan Shapira - Israeli peace activist

The last time that happened, 95 per cent of the planet's species were wiped out. So how do we get Canadians to take climate change seriously?

On October 19th, 2015, Canadians across the country will take to the polls to vote 338 representatives into federal office. Canadian Muslims, members of a growing and diverse group in this country, will be doing so as well. However, despite the fact that Muslim communities have existed in Canada for many years now, a number of young Canadian Muslims report an increasing sense of alienation and dissatisfaction with the system.

In recognition of the need to highlight the voices of these youth, ‘Young, Canadian and Muslim: Making Our Ballots Count!’ was created by a concerned group of young people. The debate will take place Friday, September 18th in Toronto, starting at 6:30PM ET. Watch LIVE below!
