We are witnessing with despair the iniquitous use of hunger as a weapon of war. Burning crops, stealing livestock, and blocking aid are tactics increasingly used by armed militias. As civilians languish in misery, political elites grow fat with impunity. It is time to sanction these abuses and hold accountable those who are responsible for it.
@PontiacMadeDDG your new camera man recording style is hurting my eyes and he doesn’t aim the camera at ppl properly. Not hate just constructive criticism I feel dizzy watching 😵💫
Dear PM Carney, Canada is bound by UN Charter & cannot attack or threaten to attack another sovereign country like Iran.
Israel violated UN Charter when it pre-emptively & illegally attacked Iran. Israel has been claiming Iran is close to nuclear weapons for decades. The most reliable reports suggest it's Israel with nuclear weapons. Keep in mind, Israel is the one that has not signed non-proliferation treaty.
Canada cannot engage in or support lawlessness. Please don't create grave risk to innocent civilians in the middle east (or here at home) by supporting or acting in concert with US & Israel's illegal attacks on Iran (or Israel's ongoing genocide & illegal occupation in Palestine).
Canada must stand for better than following an unstable, war-mongering US President into war - the same President that is in a trade war with Canada & the rest of the world. If you are going to lead the allies, lead them into peace & prioritize human rights, climate action, respect for international law & a safe, sustainable, Indigenous-rights respecting economy that supports everyone.

@MarkJCarney Absolutely disgusting what about “Canada first”? Using Israel’s and the US’s talking points. You’re a disgrace, never voting liberal again
Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.
While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.
Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.
My god my god. That video of a Palestinian baby being comforted in a hospital bed, its amputated leg lying next to it. Wide eyed, confused and terrified.
What have we done? How haven't we stopped this? Our generation will never live down this shame.
Dear leaders, #BeSoAshamed of your silence, #BeSoAshamed that you have seen the images and videos that we have all seen, but YOU still choose to be silent.

@rwesthead He couldn’t fucking stop it. Friends or not. Be a man and stop it if YOU were uncomfortable….imagine how she felt. @GoldenKnights should be ashamed to have this guy around right now. No remorse for anything.
when we talk about censorship in Canadian media, this is what we mean.
Not a single Canadian news outlet considers news like this worthy of front page coverage.
@CharMeckSupt Why is one of your teachers rating her student’s photos? They’re all shouting no don’t she ignores and rates one kid’s a 5 😳 https://t.co/7bG8SYCIAl #TEACHers#teachertwitter
I feel so helpless. Please don’t ever stop organizing and mobilizing. People are facing famine. People are dying from starvation. It’s all preventable. But Israel and its allies want to exterminate an entire besieged population. Palestinians deserve life. Palestinians deserve dignity. Palestinians deserve freedom from occupation. Palestinians deserve the most basic of human needs - Palestinians deserve food and water.
