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."

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 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.
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”
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.
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
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
"Another would-be Conservative nominee alleges 'irregularities' in race to carry party banner"
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?
Hope’s documents, from her citizenship certificate to her original #passport, listed her country of birth as South Africa. However, when the #Toronto family went to renew her passport, the records of the Immigration, Refugees & #CitizenshipCanada system didn’t match.
“Someone at IRCC recorded on her internal record that she was born in Swaziland, not South Africa... It was an error in their system.”
Wondering today if the Senate would be able to reject Poilievre's proposed use of the notwithstanding clause by a future conservative govt.
I think they can definitely block a piece of legislation that has the nwc "pre-attached", like conservative & francofacist provincial govts have been doing. Or a piece of legislation that "invokes" it after a court decision.
Is the govt able to "invoke" the nwc outside of legislation?
That's what Fort Good Hope leaders told commissioners with The #CanadaEnergyRegulator at an "oral #Indigenous knowledge" hearing on the future of Norman Wells field held in the community last week.
#ImperialOil is seeking permission to drill below the Mackenzie River.
The Chinese Family Services of Greater #Montreal & Centre #SinoQuébec de la Rive Sud in the South Shore suburb of #Brossard & the 2 centres' executive director, Xixi Li, are seeking more than $4.9 million in damages, according to #lawsuit filed Weds in Superior Court.
My cup overflows with anger toward these lying, deceiving, murderous, oil and gas companies. So this morning, I did something I've never done before in hopes the people coming home from their long weekends in Tofino and Ucluelet get the message.
“As a sign of just how badly the university’s lawyers have fared against the encampment, the Montreal police also spoke out against the injunction request in court, arguing police discretion in the matter is essential and that the cops aren’t McGill’s private security force.
McGill’s decision to seek the injunction also put an end to a series of meetings between administrators and protesters, further cementing the divide between both parties.”
