The donor group is made up mostly of Canadian Muslim professionals, such as lawyers and doctors. Formed in December 2014, the group helped Justin Trudeau to his first election victory in 2015.
The group says it has directed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Liberal Party annually since December 2014. One member of the group — whose donation records CBC News verified with Elections Canada — has contributed nearly $19,000 to the Liberals since the group’s foundation.
Possible, but assuming they’ve been following the news, they’ve probably noticed Conservatives have been at least as pro-Israel as Liberals. It’d be interesting if they backed the NDP, but I would be surprised if they did.
Muslim groups have backed the NDP at the local level before
There’s not much point in backing them nation-wide since they just don’t have enough broad support to form a government
On most issues, Muslims would naturally back conservative agendas, but immigration and other minority issues draw them left at the polls
