Carney panders to the progressive wing of his party which is fiercely anti-Israel. That is also why his government recognized a Palestinian state, it is a back and forth to keep his Liberal party united and centred. Canada's Jewish community is now paying a disproportionate price for this. It is tragic and it is unlikely to change soon.

Agree with you. NDP-to-Liberal shifters plus the growing Muslim population — where polling shows classical antisemitic beliefs at substantially higher rates than the non-Jewish Canadian baseline — are what Carney is looking at. Jewish votes going Conservative are the acceptable losses.
