"The video also showed a "F— #Trudeau" flag at the demonstration, as well as an image drawn on a trailer door of what appeared to be the #Diagolon flag — the symbol of an online group that was also found on body armour and weapons seized at a border blockade in Alberta during the 2022 "#FreedomConvoy" crisis.
In another video from his visit, #Poilievre, who has been beating #Trudeau's #Liberals in polls since last summer, is seen leaving RV w/ a drawing of the black & white #Diagolon flag on door.
According to #RCMP docs tabled @ #EmergenciesAct inquiry last yr, the national police force believes Diagolon =militia-like network whose supporters subscribe 2 "accelerationist" ideology — idea that #CivilWar or collapse of western govs is inevitable & ought 2 b sped up
"A Canadian humanitarian organization says its primary water aid truck was bombed in Gaza and is calling on the federal government to mount a full investigation into what it believes was a "targeted" incident."
""We would question why a water tank that provides clean drinking water was bombed. It makes absolutely no sense," he said. "The basics of humanitarian principles are not being upheld and that's a real issue."
#Trudeau was no better than #Biden for a while there, but has since cutoff arms shipments to #Isreal, demanded an immediate #Ceasefire, and pledges to support whatever the #ICC concludes. Now he's ramping up his daddy voice and demanding an investigation
The #Trudeau government, despite a non-binding motion passed by the House of Commons, will cease future arms sales to "Israel," according to Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly.
The initial motion called for the recognition of the State of Palestine but was changed to "establishment of the State of Palestine as part of a negotiated two-state solution negotiation."
In addition, the initial motion urged for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza but was then conditioned on disarming the Palestinian Resistance.
Third, the suspension of "all trade in military goods and technology with "Israel" and increase efforts to stop the illegal trade of arms, including to H-am-as" was rephrased to Canada's commitment to "cease the further authorization and transfer of arms exports to Israel to ensure compliance with Canada's arms export regime and increase efforts to stop the illegal trade of arms, including to H-am-as."
Minister Joly said that the change in rephrasing is substantive, not only symbolic, indicating that Canada will no longer export arms to "Israel".
The war is not causing similar problems for conservatives in either country, because their coalitions don’t include #progressives who are angered by the bombing.
"More Children Have Died In Gaza War Than Have Been Killed By Conflict Worldwide In 4 Years"
it keeps going up. More children mass slaughtered. More babies mass slaughtered. #Isreal and #Russia are the 2 most evil countries in the world right now, yet one of those still has the full support of the #US and #Canada and #UK and others
The #Trudeau government has been working for almost a decade to address #SystemicRacism and #discrimination within the justice system and the numbers remain alarming.
I will be supporting the federal #NDP at next elections because I can't forgive #Trudeau over #Gaza#Palestine & can't get over #ForkedTongue on several other issues that are very important to me & many #Canadian#BIPOC voters
I don't even like NDP either but it's them or covert WS dude with a pretty face or full out fascist fuckers. Unlike USA - with no real decent election choices between racist sellouts - we still have some options in #Canada.
Reminder: You can see Prime Minister #Trudeau's itinerary listed here & see when he's in your area so you can show up & tell him how you feel, in person, as an uninvited citizen https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/itineraries
I'm that BC gal who has left over 50 #Teochew language curses on #Trudeau & his mistress Joly's voicemails & I got some more angry Teochew msgs to leave, for many days/weeks/months to come. Ain't no anger like surviving war child refugee memories anger to keep me going on fights against cowardly colonial governments & the minions who uphold it, for their paycheques.
Not sure that calling for the oppressed, occupied, jailed & bombed (the Palestinians) to be the ones to "lay down your arms" is appropriate. Calling for a ceasefire but, little better than nothing. I remain ashamed of Canada, (my country)
Israel - end the occucpation, stop bombing or invading, & let a lot of humanitarian aid in. Ask for hostage release, but not likely until occupation, oppression, inprisonment, killing stops...
It’s excruciating listening to #Trudeau on the #Bell layoffs today. They’re reprehensible. But JT sounds out of control. Shrill. He’s using schoolyard language. We’re doomed. Liberalism is doomed. Fascism has become more relevant and fashionable to people who’ve never seen how truly ugly people like Poilievre will be once they have power.
