I asked them to respond to a message from a doctor who has been on the ground in Gaza. Here's why he called their answer "insulting" and "disappointing."
At this point, I can no longer hold hope that the Canadian Government has any intention of being the "good guys" who rally the rest of the western powers, join with Europe, and stop these atrocities. Carney had the golden opportunity to actually lead and, with our allies, feed and free Palestine.
"Stop, or I'll say Stop again," will never cut it.
Now, anything Canada does will be seen as being done too late. It was too late years ago, but seriously too late once we all could see this for the genocide that it's become.
The rollercoaster of "Am I proud to be Canadian again? Nope, work on Reconciliation, clean water on reserves. Ok, getting better? Nope... Insane Christian Nationalist Racists took over the flag. But Wait! Trumpty wants to annex us? Hell NO! Elbows UP, buy CANADIAN!!! Flag is GOOD again! Aaaand.... yeah, we still haven't done a damned thing about Gaza...." it's exhausting. Now I'm just dejected and ashamed for all humanity, if we can call ourselves that any more.
I'm with you, Rachel.
I'm so sorry, Palestine, and all the good people who went there to help, and have been murdered and are starving because our "leaders" are false, no matter what they promise of their VALUE(S).
It's not our "leaders" who have the power, or the will to USE their power to end these atrocities, or it would be over.

Obscene.
