Letter to Mark Carney

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I express my solidarity to the UN Secretary General @antonioguterres, from the heart of his own country, Portugal - which I am visiting.
We would not be here today, with unrestrained hubris is in full display, had Israel, in 76years of history, been held accountable at least once. Not once has Israel faced consequences of its intl wrongdoings.
Time to act to restore the primacy of intl law is now. A distant tomorrow may be too late.

Donald Trump is apparently losing his mind on twitter over this ad so watch it and retweet it to share it far and wide.

After a bogus trial, Amal was just convicted to death by stoning for adultery. With a massive global outcry we can help save her life, and help halt the rollback of women’s rights in Sudan. Sign & RT: https://t.co/DY0G3iI9JR

@acoyne Brilliant! He’s saying what western leaders apparently do not dare to say.

@BobRae48 2) @BobRae48 Showing leadership to redesign & strengthen @UNPeacekeeping is a relatively low-cost and high profile way for Canada to regain some credibility with our allies within the UN. Then we really would “be back” as our PM claims!@UNACVancouver @UNACanada

[George Somerwill @UN4ALL]

@BobRae48 1) Yes @BobRae48 you are totally right. Canada could demonstrate some leadership and play a constructive role in leading a UN discussion on where peacekeeping is going. Unfortunately I don’t think our allies will be holding their breath though.

@RevChrisMcM @davidfrum Surely, that should be : “Diplomacy is the art of compromise….”

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Congratulations to @PetroGustavo, the President-elect of Colombia; and to @FranciaMarquezM, the Vice President-elect and the first Afro-Colombian to take on the role. I’m looking forward to working with you both on priorities like democracy, gender equality, and climate action.

[George Somerwill @UN4ALL]

@BobRae48 Absolutely I get it!
