Sigh

For gods sake, we are way past the point of just sanctioning the settlements. Sanctions like this are known to be ineffective. It is the Israeli regime that needs to be sanctioned. Anything less is performative.

they are actively considering these and other measures

Actively considering … Should have been decades ago, and it’s too little now.

Canada has no business telling people who is and isn’t a citizen IMO. That should be the role of First Nations.

True. I suppose there is a lot that needs changing: FPTP, lobbying in politics, insider trading, media reform, algorithm regulations … I’m only scratching the surface.

Upvoted because I agree in part, but if there is no ethical move left on the board we are doomed, and I don’t believe that. I believe that we can radically transform our nations for the better. Look at Mamdani in NY and Zack Polanski and Fiona Lally in England - or more importantly, the movement growing around them. The problem as I see it is that we are distracted (entertained, busy) and divided (ideology / misinformation). We do need a revolution, though. And by-the-numbers “leadership” isn’t doing it.

Not Canadian but since this whole thing is brutally relatable, aren’t we as citizens responsible for the poor choice? I know capable people that decided to work for private companies instead of public service, for example. (apologies if this is too tangental, but it’s been on my mind).
