Carney Government Outsourced Consultation To Big Business Lobby Group β€œWe think it’s a bit strange that this labour-focused consultation is being run by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.”

Strange indeed! But Carney is a banker, after all!

Tell Carney: Oppose Illegal Attacks on Iran

As Trump and Netanyahu drag the region into war, Canada is shamefully cheering them on. Join us in emailing Prime Minister Carney and Foreign Minister Anand to demand that they retract their support for illegal US-Israeli attacks on Iran and impose sanctions on Israel. share.nwmd.social/s/FNIehyWA

An international norm is being questioned after Trump’s Iran strikes. As two of the officials who helped established it, we’d like to set the record straight The Responsibility to Protect is itself worth protecting.

Israeli Settlers in the West Bank are the storm troopers of Zionist religious and racial bigotry. They are stealing Palestinian land with the support of Israel and the IDF. And, sadly enough, the USA!

Most European leaders have tiptoed around Trump’s war with Iran. Not Spain’s PM | CNN Most European leaders have trodden a fine line between offering limited support for US military action against Iran and warning of a regional conflagration. Not Spain’s Pedro Sanchez.

I salute him. Its's too bad that Carney does not have the same mix of moral authority and courage! Carney is shaming Canada with his acceptance of American and Israeli aggression on Iran

The United States murdered defenseless Iranians at Sea and left them to drown, which is a war crime. We seem to be doing a lot of war crimes nowadays. Maybe Pete hegseth needs to stand trial of The Hague

Common sense: Elected officials shouldn’t be able to use insider information to line their pockets on prediction markets.

British parliamentarians condemn PM Keir Starmer’s decisions, warning they could drag the country into β€œcatastrophic war with Iran.”

Despite all this, Starmer continues to insist that the β€œspecial relationship” between Britain and the US – if strained – is working out to the country’s benefit.

I know this is just the nature of doing news in the US but it does seem bizarre and a little vile that most of the top-line-item news stuff about the war against Iran is the impact on gas prices and not "we've murdered over 1,300 civilians in Iran including around 170 girls in a school"

From Bush Sr to Trump: the risks, lessons and legacy of US interference in the Middle East While there are similarities with the wars against Iraq, the Iran conflict may prove to be the most dangerous and consequential yet

One must remember that the aim of American and Israeli strategy is hegemony over the Middle East. It is not peace or co-operation - it is a drive for unrivaled power. More or less supported by Canada, especially in recent decades and more so under Carney!
