The Canadian government stands staunchly with the US position. It is considering withdrawing funds, although it doesn't have the legal pressure to do so. That said, sad to say, many Canadian people are at odds with the government on this. The popular myth that forgets actual history pervades its educational institutions. It has forgotten that this area of the middle east was the leavings of the collapsed Byzantine empire. Syria and Jordan and even Egypt was offered the land. They turned it down, not because there may have been some Palestinian people living there, they comprise a large part of Jordan's indigenous populations, for example. It was deemed a waste land and no one wanted it. Until the Jews did.
