Canada has decade of ignoring israeli human right abuses and can’t even say the words occupation and colonization. They let orgs selling occupied lands in synaguoges, they never blocked canadians from joining the idf which is generally prohibited by canadian own laws etc

I also know one person who volunteered with the Ukrainian foreign legion. Their biggest hurdle was the days in Canada requirements surrounding healthcare access.
