Mr. Speaker, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants against five senior Hamas and Israeli leaders. This is a step toward justice for Palestinians and Israeli victims of war crimes.
The Liberals promised to support the ICC when they voted for our motion in March, so will the Prime Minister and the Liberal government state clearly that Canada supports the ICC's work to hold all those responsible for crimes accountable?
Tori Lacey, 26, chronicled the troubling incident on her #TikTok & #Instagram pages, where she usually posts content about her #travel exploits as a person who uses a #wheelchair.
Hope’s documents, from her citizenship certificate to her original #passport, listed her country of birth as South Africa. However, when the #Toronto family went to renew her passport, the records of the Immigration, Refugees & #CitizenshipCanada system didn’t match.
“Someone at IRCC recorded on her internal record that she was born in Swaziland, not South Africa... It was an error in their system.”
“Those are the real dividing lines, but the more #ResourceDependent a given riding is, the more likely it is going to be susceptible to #Conservative messaging.”
Wondering today if the Senate would be able to reject Poilievre's proposed use of the notwithstanding clause by a future conservative govt.
I think they can definitely block a piece of legislation that has the nwc "pre-attached", like conservative & francofacist provincial govts have been doing. Or a piece of legislation that "invokes" it after a court decision.
Is the govt able to "invoke" the nwc outside of legislation?
That's what Fort Good Hope leaders told commissioners with The #CanadaEnergyRegulator at an "oral #Indigenous knowledge" hearing on the future of Norman Wells field held in the community last week.
#ImperialOil is seeking permission to drill below the Mackenzie River.
#Canada is #unprepared for life next to a dictator because geographic isolation long protected us from invasion and war. #Canadian#governments simply assumed that the #USA would shield us from foreign threats. But if the U.S. becomes #dictatorial, where would that leave Canada?
Tackling late-life homelessness in Canada
Jillian Alston, Stefan Baral, Aaron Orkin & Sharon Straus
Many #OlderAdults experience #homelessness in #Canada, yet current shelters & temporary #housing are not designed or resourced for them. We outline the magnitude of this large & growing #PublicHealth & #social challenge, describe the social & #HealthCare needs of older adults experiencing homelessness, and suggest potential solutions.
The Chinese Family Services of Greater #Montreal & Centre #SinoQuébec de la Rive Sud in the South Shore suburb of #Brossard & the 2 centres' executive director, Xixi Li, are seeking more than $4.9 million in damages, according to #lawsuit filed Weds in Superior Court.
Far from meeting the expectations of #disability organizations – along with any of the scenarios presented by the PBO – the #GovernmentOfCanada has instead created a #CDB with a maximum annual support level of $2,400/person.
And despite widespread warnings about accessing the CDB through #DTC eligibility alone, the #Trudeau government has retained this #tax measure as the only way to qualify for the benefit.
“As a sign of just how badly the university’s lawyers have fared against the encampment, the Montreal police also spoke out against the injunction request in court, arguing police discretion in the matter is essential and that the cops aren’t McGill’s private security force.
McGill’s decision to seek the injunction also put an end to a series of meetings between administrators and protesters, further cementing the divide between both parties.”
A poster was shared on social media to promote the protest. A description of the event said protesters were "delivering a message to #McGill administration that we refuse to stand by quietly while they remain complicit in #genocide."
