This statement was one of the most disturbing things I've heard him say, non-sensical & no doubt contributing to a level of distrust in him that I feel has been growing over time.
As I said in a post somewhere... when Canadians go to the polls, the only choice we have is the lessor of two evils.

Referring to @mark-carney.bsky.social I'm hoping you're wrong, but suspect you may be right.

Please distance Canada from any military involvement with the terrorist state of Israel & the illegal war mongering of the USA. These countries represent the antithesis of everything that Canada is.

Please outlaw the indoctrination of Canadian students in the practice of genocide, by Israeli war criminals, which these schools in Quebec are currently involved in.

Impose sanctions, seize assets & end all support to Israel, or the genocide continues. Treat Israel as Russia is, including orders re: arrest warrants.
Kudos to Scotiabank for doing the right thing.

Returning dual nationals suffering PTSD by what they witnessed & worse, by what they did while serving with the @IDF, will need expert monitoring re: voluntary involvement in war crimes & their mental health as a result.

Please, on behalf of all Canadians, hold Israel accountable for this ongoing genocide, not just with words, which after all are useless, but with a national call for debilitating boycotts, divestments & sanctions.

B’Tselem's report was published more than a week ago & still nothing concrete is being done by you, to end the ongoing genocide within the Israeli prison system, or on the ground in Gaza.
Do something. Please.

... and then falsely characterizing the victims as domestic terrorists, while generously protecting the shooters.
There is a domino effect as millions of us around the world make decisions about our interactions with the US.
Sympathetic, but we have to protect our families, friends, ourselves.
I won't be visiting the states any time soon, if ever again.
This Hour has 22 Minutes, helps us to take some of the edge off of the raw exposure of the hate filled, violent undercurrents that have always been there.

Sitting in a bullet riddled car, the lone survivor, she was incredibly brave.
You're adults sitting in the safety of powerful positions, refusing to call it a genocide.
Two years later the genocide continues. Do something.

Surrounded by death, her voice is one of the bravest that I've ever heard. She was six years old.
This was the Palestinian reality January 29th, 2024, which continues to this day.
Remember her words.

The ‘Don-roe Doctrine’ emerges By endorsing what Venezuela is calling a “cowardly kidnapping” by U.S. forces, Poilievre is embracing what analysts are calling the “Don-roe Doctrine” — a 21st-century mutation of the Monroe Doctrine that views the Western Hemisphere not as a community of nations, but as a private fiefdom for American interests. Trump’s motive is not the liberation of the Venezuelan people; it is the requisition of their oil. His administration has already signalled that American firms will be the ones to “revitalize” Venezuela’s 300 billion barrels of reserves. This isn’t a victory for democracy; it’s a hostile takeover and an absolute erosion of the rule of law. The precedent being set here is catastrophic. If we accept the premise that a superpower can unilaterally invade a sovereign nation (regardless of who is at the helm) to enforce its own domestic criminal indictments, we are essentially declaring the end of international law. If the U.S. can ‘arrest’ Maduro today, what prevents Beijing from ‘arresting’ the leadership in Taipei tomorrow under the guise of domestic security? By validating the breach of Venezuelan sovereignty, Poilievre erodes Canada’s moral standing to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. If ‘spheres of influence’ justify military incursions in Caracas, they will be used to justify them in Kyiv.

Conservatives vote on a leadership review in a few days. Odds are Poilievre remains their leader.
A reminder of what is at stake, this post from @greenpeaceca.bsky.social together with the attached post from CTV News contributor, Sharan Kaur, spells out who Poilievre is, aligned with Trump.

1. If ICE stops or intimidates you, do not precipitously flee ICE is only supposed to detain people upon “reasonable suspicion” that a person has committed or is about to commit a violation of immigration laws. But in September, the far-right justices on the Supreme Court held in an “emergency” ruling for Trump that ICE can detain people based on factors like race, ethnicity, or speaking Spanish or English with an accent. So it makes sense, if you believe you are being detained, to ask the agent, “Am I being detained?” If the answer is “no,” calmly leave.
@mark-carney.bsky.social @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social
Please end the Safe Third Country Agreement with the USA & since our Canadian accent might endanger us, amend our advisory to warn against USA travel.

Tragic representation of the US dominating our news, not just in Canada, but around the world.
These murderous scenes, much like previous ones from the US, Gaza & other war torn countries, will be remembered forever.
The US, staunch supporter of genocide, is a war zone.
