Consider that Canada’s position was to accept having Israel investigate itself in the first place, while Israel is actively working all the time to undermine fundamental systems of international law and is engaged in genocide. Canadian foreign policy wrt Israel is and has been utterly pathetic. How many times has Anand squirmed her way through interviews and official statements trying to look like the government she’s part of gives a shit while actually defending the practices and standards of the Israeli government as the Israeli government displays constant contempt for international law and for Canada?
Could be worse. America would’ve apologized for the inconvenience and reimbursed them for the ammunition.
Well even Canada still buy and sell weapons to israel
They didn’t just write a tweet. The Foreign Affairs Minister made a statement yesterday, as mentioned in CBC’s coverage. No, they didn’t make any threats to Israel or anything like that, but an official statement is more than a tweet.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand called that decision “unacceptable” in a statement on Thursday.
“Serious failures were identified in the conduct of the strike, and closing the case without further accountability leaves their families without the answers they have sought for more than two years,” she said, adding that humanitarian workers in conflict zones must be protected.
“Canada expects international humanitarian law to be upheld and will continue pressing for a full accounting of what happened, along with justice for the seven workers who were killed and their families.”
Not that much better
If failing to meet expectations doesn’t come with consequences then there were never really any expectations.
So nothing of actual consequences
Sometimes things take way longer than we would like. This statement says they want humanitarian law applied, which may mean the case will be taken to The Hague.
This happened in 2024 mate nothing is going to happen. Israel kills Canadians with impunity and Canada does nothing about it.
It took over 7 decades and a comoagin of extermination for the West and the rest of powerful countries to make less than the minimum
The statement is a hypocritical one to act like they care
Yeap, embarrassing for Canada
That is more than just a tweet. It is an explicit public statement of government policy, and an implicit statement that there is a lot going on behind the scenes, out of the public eye, based on the position taken in the public statement.
No it’s a Tweet. There is zero action behind it.
I agree this is just a tweet, but how do we know there’s “zero” action behind it? What available options are not being pursued by the minister?
Unlike Trump, who tweets indiscriminately, tweets from the Canadian government are not ‘just a tweet’. They are used judiciously and with forethought.
