There are over 1.8 million Muslims in Canada (and growing), compared to less than 400,000 Jews (that are maybe shrinking or static). So no mystery why Carny wants to cater to the former (as well as the reason for the other countries).

Everybody wants a Palestinian state, except the Palestinians
https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/colu...78661.html
EXCERPTS: It’s back in fashion. If Palestinian statehood were a stock, its price would be soaring. In the past several weeks, France, Britain, Canada and Australia have all said that they will recognize a Palestinian state next month at the annual meeting of the U.N. General Assembly. That’s on top of the 147 U.N. member states that already recognize the state of “Palestine.”
[...] More importantly, the Palestinian Arab population doesn’t want statehood as long as it would require them to live in peace alongside Israel. That’s been made abundantly clear for the last century as they have rejected numerous offers of statehood dating back to the 1947 U.N. partition resolution, which divided up what was then the British Mandate for Palestine, into Jewish and Arab states.
More recently, along with the United States, Israel offered the Palestinians a sovereign state in Gaza, a share of Jerusalem, and almost all of Judea and Samaria (with territorial swaps for Israeli land) in 2000, 2001 and 2008 as part of negotiations seeking a two-state solution. Each time, they said “no” or walked away from the talks.
And according to the Palestinian Center for Policy and Research, which generally tilts its results toward the so-called “moderates” living in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, that’s still how they feel. The most recent poll they’ve conducted finds that only 40% of them favor such an entity as part of a two-state solution.
The Palestinian Authority, which autonomously rules most Arabs living in Judea and Samaria, has observer status at the United Nations. But neither it nor Hamas, which ruled Gaza from 2007 to 2023, qualifies for statehood under all the normal rules of international law. It doesn’t control a defined territory and doesn’t have a functioning government in any meaningful sense of the term.
The U.N. charter also requires it to be “peace-loving,” which, considering that neither the P.A. nor Hamas has shown itself willing to recognize the legitimacy of a Jewish state, no matter where its borders might be drawn in the future, cannot be said of this putative Palestinian state that so many wish to create...
