Stop Carney's twin attacks on Canada!
- $150 BILLION/YEAR war budget (Highest since WWII!)
- 15% CUTS to public services (Deepest in modern history!)

Recently Mark Carney said Canada would only accept a “Zionist Palestinian state”. Please take a minute to email the Prime Minister to condemn his racist comment.

Denounce @MarkJCarney support for Trump’s aggression against Iran. Write the PM to condemn US war crimes that could plunge the region & world into ever greater violence

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.

Mutual statement by Iranian Canadian Congress, Just Peace Advocates & Canadian Foreign Policy Institute calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to pressure Israel to stop its attacks on Iran:
Breaking News: JNF loses another court appeal
The Jewish National Fund of Canada has lost another bid to overturn the Canada Revenue Agency’s revocation of its charitable status. The decision bolsters the CRA’s authority to revoke other Israel focused charities violating Canada’s Income Tax Act.
In a decision released June 2 a three member panel of the Federal Court of Appeal rejected the JNF’s application for an injunction to force the CRA to overturn its revocation of the JNF’s charitable status. The court also ruled the JNF has to cover court costs.
In November the Federal Court of Canada dismissed a similar appeal.
“The revocation of the Jewish National Fund of Canada’s charitable status is a victory against an important arm of a racist colonial movement that’s stolen Palestinian land for over a century”, noted Karen Rodman of Just Peace Advocates.
Over 200 registered charities sent $362 million to Israel in 2022. Dozens of them assist the military, government agencies, racist organizations and illegal West Bank colonies in violation of CRA rules. Detailed complaints have been submitted to the CRA concerning more than a dozen of these organizations.
“The Federal Court of Appeal’s recent ruling reinforces the CRA’s authority to move against charities assisting an apartheid state committing genocide and war crimes”, concluded Rodman.

Under the name Operation PROTEUS, Western forces built a proxy police regime to manage Palestinians under occupation.

“I stand with Israel.”
Author Yves Engler confronted Canadian MP Michael Cooper over his support for Israel, questioning whether he would continue to stand with Israel “even if they ethnically cleansed everyone in Gaza”
In the French federal debate, @theJagmeetSingh challenges @MarkJCarney on Gaza: “Why don’t you call things as they are? This is a genocide.” Carney claims that the term “politicizes the situation.” We know that if you can’t name genocide, you definitely won’t stop it.
