So,Canada is in a position to cut of essential war machine minerals to a dependent US if it deems it appropriate to do so .
The U.S. military has, for the first time in generations, spent public money on minerals projects inside Canada: nearly $15 million US to mine and process copper, gold, graphite and cobalt in Quebec and the Northwest Territories.
"Israel is brazenly flouting an order of a court it appeared before. It is indiscriminately killing civilians seeking refuge. This is a flagrant violation of the rule of law and a war crime. It is time the international community put sanctions on Israel as it did to South Africa."
Don Davies, Member of Parliament, Vancouver Kingsway, Canada
“Risks vary from country to country but they can include diseases or pests that might negatively impact the #Canadian#bee population including tropilaelaps mites, killer bees, small hive beetles, amitraz-resistant varroa mites & oxytetracycline-resistant American foulbrood,”.
Because of this, Olthof said there is pressure from federal & provincial governments for #beekeepers to reduce their reliance on foreign #QueenBees.
Members of the #Heiltsuk Nation in #BellaBella are calling for immediate suspension & removal of an #RCMP officer stationed in the remote coastal community for reportedly making #racist comments on social media.
One screenshot shows the officer posing in front of the Union Jack in #colonial regalia with the comment, “Now, whats to be done about these pesky #natives stirring up trouble in the colonies…?”
The project, announced two years ago, will see the six-storey, 60,000-square-metre downtown building turned into an #Indigenous hub of housing, social services, government offices & cultural space.
Chatted with a pharmacist this week about #covid boosters and they can only give them to folks over 65 and immunocompromised… unsure what kind of documentation that requires but province won’t pay for anything other… all the while movie industry folks I follow on social media show that everyone (actors don’t but everyone around them do) on movie sets still have to mask or they lose insurance coverage. So curious why #ottawa#cdnpoli#onpoli
The sound you hear is the #BCNDP breathing a huge sigh of relief as the two rightwing parties continue fighting.
“B.C. Conservatives Leader John Rustad rejected proposed 'non-competition' agreement, Kevin Falcon says”
The federal agency has been under intense #criticism for months for spending millions on a program to #eradicate fallow #deer on the 9 sq km island, a portion of which is part of the #GulfIslandsNationalParkReserve, while the rest is privately owned.
She said there is “nothing #Indigenous about the RCMP.”
“They can hire Indigenous people but it doesn’t change their many #HumanRights violations and their continued role in #MMIWG. #RibbonSkirts are #sacred & not to be associated with #genocide,” she said, adding whoever thought of the idea should be fired.
The previous barriers to land ownership were a holdover from when #Canada considered #Indigenous people and governments to be wards of the government, according to Braker. Before the 1960s, governments required #FirstNations to get the approval of #IndianAgents before buying land.
Even after the practice was abolished, #BritishColumbia had its own #legislation preventing First Nations from holding property.
Dropping a random prediction: Trudeau will resign as Liberal leader this summer. Do I have any specific reasons for this? No. I’m a politically connected nobody. But he can stay on and lose to Pierre, even though he wants a no-gloves campaign against him, but why be another Harper, who knew he had no chance in 2015? I think walking away would be a clutch move for him and take all the wind out of “vote for us because Trudeau is the reason for X, Y, Z” #cdnpoli#canada#elections
Mr. Alistair MacGregor: Madam Chair, with respect, the minister is been quite evasive. I am not talking about the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I am not talking about Israeli settlements abroad. I am talking about Canadians who may have broken the law here in Canada regarding the purchase of properties in the occupied Palestinian territories, which is being done here on Canadian soil.
I would like a specific answer to that specific question. That is not under the purview of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. That is under the purview of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.
Is this scandal (and the leadership race scandal) going to be what brings down #Pollievre before the election? If they are following the #MAGA policy of destroying democracy, they're gonna get a very rude awakening in November

I walked down Scott St yesterday for a few kms and I can’t even remember how many people I saw driving and texting. Stopped at an intersection and using their phones. Using a phone and driving is more dangerous than drinking and driving but the big, bad repercussions do fuck all at deterring people because “repercussions” are political window dressing. Like, the chances of killing someone while you text and drive are pretty fucking high, but, well, shrug from all involved #cdnpoli#onpoli
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?
