Canada upset at UN vote on Palestine

Canada responds to Palestinian vote

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is considering his options after the United Nations voted Thursday to promote the Palestinian Authority to a non-member, non-voting observer state despite Canada's objections.

Harper has said there would be "consequences" if the resolution passed at the UN general assembly, which it did 138-9 with 41 abstentions.

Retaliatory measures could include cutting funding or expelling the Palestinian Authority's representative - measures deeply opposed by the NDP, which also supported the resolution.
