Canada signed a free trade deal with Israel in 1997, which last I checked is still in effect.

And, contrary to self-serving disinformation by the Canadian government and pro-Israel organizations, Canada still sells weapons to Israel.

You and Minister Anand will be remembered for your support of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

“Gaza hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history.”

UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says nearly 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza have suffered life-changing wounds in Israel’s war – and almost one-quarter of those are children.

The BBC found evidence??

Worth noting too that to execute Refaat for the crime of being popular on social media the IDF sent a missile into his apartment building also killing Refaat’s brother, his brother's son, his sister, and her three children.

Mahmoud Khalil was thrown in prison for 3 months for protesting Gaza and the day ABC pulled Kimmel off the air (for two eps!) a judge upheld Khalil’s deportation. Rümeysa Öztürk was kidnapped off the street and imprisoned for writing an op-ed on Gaza. I feel like I’m going insane

Israel is waging a holocaust in Gaza. Denazification is our only remedy

The deadly ethno-supremacy inherent to Israeli society runs deeper than Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Smotrich. It must be confronted at its root.

The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages.

A major article from @CBCNews by @EvanDyerCBC digs into a new joint report exposing how the Canadian government has lied to the public about its role in supplying weapons to Israel.

Wow. Carney didn't consult with chiefs before passing the megaprojects law, said he would consult after. Now during "consultations" he says their feedback won't change the law.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

89% of building in Rafah and 84% of buildings in northern Gaza have been destroyed. When the U.S. nuked Hiroshima it destroyed 67% of the buildings and 40% in Nagasaki. The destruction in Gaza is likely the most severe of any residential area in warfare history.

What is it called when you “indefinitely displace” the members of an ethnic or national group @nytimes?

Yes, threats of ETHNIC CLEANSING has a way of undermining “ceasefire” talks.

Last week we released this joint report debunking the magical thinking 🦄that private finance can deliver an energy transition, let alone a JUST one.

This week I'm at the UN's once-a-decade #FfD4 and this big bank & big oil messaging is EVERYWHERE 🧵https://t.co/4ZqruWGKuY

In our Open Letter to @MarkJCarney & @AnitaAnandMP, 412 legal, human rights, diplomatic, international affairs, social justice, UN, civil society, faith & labour leaders & experts make it unflinchingly clear: Canada must act to end genocide in #Gaza.

Waiting, vacillating, remaining silent and failing or, worse, refusing to act in the face of mounting and incontrovertible evidence of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity can no longer be options for Canada.

But it is not enough to simply speak out. Canada must do everything in its power to stop these atrocities and support efforts to bring those responsible to account. That requires immediate action in five priority areas and galvanizing joint measures at next week's #G7Summit:

1. Work actively towards an immediate, permanent ceasefire and the release of all Israeli and Palestinian captives.

2. Insist on full humanitarian access to Gaza in a manner in keeping with core humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence, and demand that the Israeli ban on the UN Relief and Works Agency be completely lifted.

3. Publicly support the role of and fully comply with international courts in holding to account those who violate international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory including Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and Israel.

4. Pursue all possible domestic measures, including immediately withdrawing from the free trade agreement between Canada and Israel, imposing sanctions on Israeli leaders and other individuals suspected of involvement in atrocity crimes, initiating investigations into charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act (including any Canadians or dual nationals involved in such crimes) with the aim of prosecuting offenders in Canada or other jurisdictions, enforcing a full and comprehensive two-way arms embargo, and stripping charitable status from organizations found to be complicit in crimes under international law.

5. Without further delay, join the 149 states who recognize the State of Palestine and support all efforts for Palestine to be admitted as a full member of the United Nations.

We end noting that ...

"Prime Minister, there is no question as to which side of history Canada belongs. Because of Canada’s proclaimed “shared values” and close relationship with Israel, Ottawa must spare no effort to bring the genocide in Gaza, and the war crimes and crimes against humanity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, to an immediate end. Upholding international law is the only avenue through which not only peace, justice and human rights, but the durable, long-term security of Israelis and Palestinians alike will be achieved."
