Very gratifying to get this kind of immediate confirmation that you cost a weapons company a bunch of money. 😍🔥🎉

Check out this excellent CBC news coverage of our blockade of INKAS, a Toronto company arming Israel. And thanks to this INKAS executive for letting us know our action worked so well: “this situation is causing our business to lose money, to lose profits”. #CanadaStopArmingIsrael

We are still going strong. We’re here in solidarity with everyone who has faced down the barrel of a gun, had their home destroyed by a missile, seen loved ones killed by the drones and tanks and artillery made by companies inside this marketplace of violence. SHUT DOWN CANSEC.

[World BEYOND War Canada @WBWCanada]

BREAKING: Hundreds out disrupting Canada's biggest arms fair! We’re on the road, blocking multiple entrances, and making sure every arms dealer, military, & government rep attending CANSEC is directly confronted with their role in arming genocide & war crimes. SHUT DOWN CANSEC.

I’m glad Al Jazeera is asking these questions because Canadian journalists with access to Anand never would and those of us who try have our questions ignored by comms staffers who have absolute contempt for transparency and truth.

[World BEYOND War Canada @WBWCanada]

Once again for those in the back: this new path of militarism on steroids as Canada’s economic and foreign policy that Carney is dragging this country down is not only a horrific decision for Canada and its role in the world, but ALSO will do nothing to appease Trump.

Canada plans to establish a new bank to finance the global arms trade

In our latest @TheBreachMedia podcast, I speak with Rachel Small of @WBWCanada about the prospect of our economy being further tied to weapons and war

https://t.co/arVWaclvX9

[The Breach @TheBreachMedia]

Canada has won its bid to host a new NATO-aligned bank that will fuel a weapons-building frenzy.

@rach_small explains to @DesmondCole how the bank fits into Mark Carney’s militarization agenda and would further tie Canada’s economy to war profiteering. https://t.co/K3UUje8HSy

[World BEYOND War Canada @WBWCanada]

"On Friday, at a press conference in the heart of Toronto’s financial district, [WBW and allies] launched the campaign with the slogan: Stop the DSRB: No war bank in our city. 'This is a really unique opportunity to take down this war bank before it can start,' said @rach_small.

[Alex Cosh @AlexCosh_]

NEW: Legacy media largely framed Canada's new War Bank as a win for Mark Carney.

But as @emmapaling reports, a national coalition is mobilizing to oppose it. https://t.co/lVtlbGJZho

[Rachel Small @rach_small]

You couldn't make this shit up.

[Alex Cosh @AlexCosh_]

Canada's Department of National Defence is claiming it has *zero* records regarding NATO's 5% GDP military spending target.

[World BEYOND War Canada @WBWCanada]

WBW stands with groups across the country in virulently denouncing Canada’s commitment to profiteering from perpetual war in the guise of economic development. We reject the DSRB war bank. Not in Toronto, not in Canada, not on this planet.

The last thing Canada needs is to host a war bank designed to accelerate a global arms race and funnel public money directly to arms manufacturers. It is depraved, grotesque, and ordinary people will be the ones forced to pay.
Say NO to the war bank here: https://t.co/z8VpsHrh8S

[World BEYOND War Canada @WBWCanada]

LIVE: Press conference rejecting new global “defence” war bank & Canada’s plans to host it. Reps from @CanadiansOrg @CFSON, etc join us to announce ramped up opposition to stop it before it can launch. Not in Toronto, not in Canada, not on this planet.

Canada must cut off all arms exports to the US that can be used in this horrific war and impose a full arms embargo on Israel.

Read the article at https://t.co/X95kUPxvan

Many of these factories are also listed on our map of companies arming Israel: https://t.co/vQ3yYX5Grh

[World BEYOND War Canada @WBWCanada]

An explosive new investigation by @emmapaling for @readthemaple just revealed Canadian factories producing parts of the Tomahawk missiles (the munition that the US used to destroy the Minab school), as well as Reaper drones, bomber jets, artillery and more https://t.co/X95kUPxvan

[World BEYOND War Canada @WBWCanada]

We're quoted in this new article by @emmapaling for @readthemaple digging into how, instead of cutting off the flow of Cdn explosives to Israel via the US, GAC is busy editing the wording on contracts to hide how critical QC factories are to Israeli bombs.

The immediate status quo, centrist attacks on Avi Lewis are precisely why he is effective and needed.

In face of growing right wing escalation and centrist drift, an unabashedly left opposition that is anti capitalist & internationalist is both principled *and* realistic.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

No country has ever killed as many journalists as Israel. It is a deliberate slaughter. And slaughter is the right word. They are intent on wiping out a generation of Arab journalists.

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

Everywhere we see how anti-migrant racism and dehumanization is the central pillar for growing fascist rhetoric, legislated violence, and carceral power.

To be anti-fascist today is to be anti-border.

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

"International Olympic Committee has banned transgender women & DSD athletes from female category of events at 2028 LA Olympics and future Games"

This is fascist hate maintaining patriarchal gender norms rooted in white supremacy.

Policing measures are ramping up dramatically in this city, and regardless of the justification, there is no timeline in which this does not facilitate more harm for Black, Indigenous, and unhoused people.
