Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza.

Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are holding significant Canadian-funded aid which has been blocked from delivery to starving civilians. This denial of humanitarian aid is a violation of international law.

Canada calls on all sides to negotiate an immediate ceasefire in good faith. We reiterate our calls for Hamas to immediately release all the hostages, and for the Israeli government to respect the territorial integrity of the West Bank and Gaza.

Canada supports a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians. Canada will work intensively in all fora to further that end, including through the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the UN High-Level Conference on a Two-State Solution in New York next week.

Midwest & Rockies get their crude imports from Canada and don’t have easy other options for crude. Likely to see the biggest impacts on prices at the pump.

[John G. Murphy @JGodiasMurphy]

So import tariffs are levied on US production! "On average 50% of the content of the vehicles built in Canada originates in the United States, and on average about 35% of the content of all vehicles assembled in Mexico originates in the United States.” /4 https://t.co/u0OGPctfEq

Important thread.

[John G. Murphy @JGodiasMurphy]

Tariffs and Manufacturing: These 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico would cause severe harm to many US manufacturers. 🧵

Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a #UNESCO world heritage site in Nova Scotia, is described as the “coal age Galapagos” as it holds the most complete fossil collection from this era, 300 million years ago! While there, it's more likely you’ll pick up a fossil than a regular rock! 🪨⛏️

Edward Martin Kindle, later of the GSC, was on the Cornell expedition, and I think there is a notebook about it in his papers at LAC. (Not my field though.) See also https://t.co/BUhg7TDQTv
