Calling Newfoundland, Canada, home. Probably not much going to be posted here. A way to follow some accounts after the mess of Twitter.

The fact that the Canadian government's official statement on the president of the United States illegally invading a foreign country does not include the words "President," "United States," "illegal," or "invade" really tells you all you need to know about where we stand, tbh
Please see my statement on the situation in Venezuela:

This shit needs to be banned. The creators aren’t doing anything to make this stuff safe just out to make money and ruin the environment while they are at it.

Step the fuck up American politicians. I’m sure the democrats will write a strongly worded letter……..
hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Canada finally reacts, through our foreign affairs minister (not our prime minister).

Really, embarrassingly timid statement when you consider what just happened.

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela.

It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Yup. PP is pathetic and hoping Trump will come put him in power as a little puppet. What an absolute disgrace of a Canadian politician. He’d sell us out for one good word from Trump. Utterly shameful. Maduro was no good for sure, but you have to see how this is a terrible step to have taken.
Every morning I wake up and thank the Good Lord that this numptie doesn't represent my nation on the world stage.

Minorities manage to hold onto their cultures even when they are the smallest group in a country. If your culture is under threat because you’re not *majority enough* then your culture wasn’t that rich to begin with.

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

The Canadian government won’t even name Israel, which took credit for murdering these journalists, in its post condemning them.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

This level of barbarity is unconscionable.

Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death.

It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.

Write your MP. It might feel pointless but if we all raise our voices it is something. Condemnation without action is tacit approval.
Israel's massive publicity machine cannot cover up the deliberate killing and mass starvation of civilians.
Nobody is buying their line anymore.
Canada must move beyond hand-wringing and impose serious sanctions.
We must support the international criminal court in going after the war criminals.

"the claim regarding harm to uninvolved civilians is under review".

Under review to do nothing about it but for it to somehow be the children’s fault I’m sure.

Horrendous.

Do the bare minimum to keep civilians alive so we can continue to kill said civilians.

The Western world won’t stand up to this until it’s comfortably too late to do anything but wonder what could have possibly been done.
The fact that people who claim to be serious are still out here both-sidesing (or actively supporting) one of the most defining cruelties of our lifetime is brutal scar on the humanity of the western world
