Well Canada has a pretty strong Jewish lobby and they have calculated that the political impact of staying lock step with US policy is the most favorable option
Its less publicized here (standby for basketcase suggesting talking about the lobby being 'conspiracy talk').
But it must have some power since Trudeau's stance is most definitely not supported by voters.

Stupid for Canada to abstain in the middle of NAFTA negotiations. A Yemen/Turkey initiative of no consequence was a perfect opportunity to score some really crucial points at no cost to us, whatsoever.

Canada had to do what was right. Yes, abstaining was the best move.
The NDP would have voted no.

Trump is just isolating the US and Israel. He already is cutting aid by 28%, and most of that goes for weapons anyways.
The move has totally killed any pretence of peace talks, which makes the campaign for BDS all that much stronger.

No, it would have shown that Canada is a mature and pragmatic partner that is willing to rise above cheap politics.

The clear and pragmatic partner would choose to side with the rest of the world, minus the 7 pacific islands that voted with Israel and the US.

They did not consult us on this decision, it is not one we agree with, so why should endanger ourselves to support their reckless foreign policy. Enough Canadians have died for their stupid wars.

A mature people act in their interest and don't follow hysterical Yemenis or Turks. We need, very badly, to reach an understanding on trade with our largest trading partner. This vote was a free gift to Canada to put Trump in a position to owe us a big one and our government blew it.

How about the EU that voted against the US position? The UK, France Germany, etc etc. Instead you want us to line up with major powers like Tonga, Honduras, Micronesia etc etc? We'd be the laughing stock of the free world!!! Canada has done the USA many favors, like sending young Canadians to die in Afghanistan. To be treated like we are now make the value of our relationship with the US highly questionable.

And the alliance with the EU serves what purpose for Canada? Is the EU going to pick up the trade slack? Is the Palestinian issue the hill we want to die on? What did they ever do for us?

Time to scrap all the trade agreements with the EU, we can replace it all with a comprehensive trade agreement with Nauru.

Meanwhile Israel just issued a statement saying they are willing to work with the Nazis in Austria.

You really want an alliance with that?
