This would have been an excellent time for the Prime Minister aspiring to lead a coalition of middle powers to say:
“Canada does not believe that threats of annihilation are acceptable. Period.”
I just want to point out… the amount of money the U.S. has spent on war in the last 2.5 months is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never ‘can we afford it’… it’s what we choose to prioritize.
hey loser weren’t you just ordered to stay the fuck away from your ex wife for 50 YEARS due to your serial abusing of her (as well as abusing your child)
Seems like you’re the real threat to women in this world, not trans athletes
This is the third time in six months that Benjamin Netanyahu has flown through Canadian airspace.
Contrary to the GAC spokesperson’s claim, he does not have the freedom to make that decision. Foreign leaders are required to seek permission before doing so.
Netanyahu is also wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. As a member of the ICC, Canada has a duty to arrest him if he enters the country.
Has the government been knowingly shirking its responsibility and allowing a wanted war criminal to fly through our airspace? If he is flying through without permission, why not say so?
Allowing this to pass without consequence sets a dangerous precedent. Canadians deserve a clear answer.

Today’s decision is the result of a massive effort from the Ontario NDP, organizers on the ground, and the people of Toronto who said: No Jets TO.
It was collective power that made this issue impossible for the Carney government to ignore.
When we organize, we win!
Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today.
Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate.
This government is spending billions of dollars in public money to expand the very industry that’s causing climate breakdown — at a moment when renewables are cheaper and more available than ever before.
No more climate-wrecking corporate welfare. We need a government that protects the people and places we love.
Namaygoosisagagun First Nation is GONE. the fires came i’m so fast people only had minutes to pack and evacuate by boat WITHOUT EMERGENCY SERVICES BECAUSE THEY COULDNT REACH THEM IN TIME. but yeah sure worry about your ruined beach day
This is completely out of line.
Minister Miller says, "It isn't up to me to speak to, or insert myself in, the curation of any particular exhibit.” And then he does exactly that.
His comments are a direct attack on the independence of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights – exactly what the Museums Act is meant to prevent.
The story of the Nakba needs to be told. It’s a hard history to confront: Israel’s independence was achieved with massacres, ethnic cleansing, and the forcible displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians.
And it’s a story that’s not over: all of those assaults on human dignity and fundamental human rights continue to this day.
This is the very purpose of museums like the CMHR: to shine a light into the corners of history and connect historical events to the present. Public education informed by the principles of justice and human rights.
The “error that needs to be rectified” is not the exhibit, it’s the Heritage Minister’s unacceptable political interference. He should retract his comments, apologize, and leave curating to the curators.

“Mon livre ne s’appuie pas sur l’hypermoralité du peuple palestinien.
Soit l’apartheid est juste, soit il est injuste.
Les Palestiniens ne pourraient rien faire pour que cela me soit acceptable.”
Admitting her to caucus solidifies that the only requirement for being a Mark Carney Liberal is not any specific set of values but just a shared desire to hold power. Exactly what the Conservatives and NDP have accused Liberals of all along.
