And this coming week, we have a fanatical Israeli settler who encourages genocide coming to Canada to give a talk about it!

Right? Maybe he saw the poll and changed course?
Canada could stop sending weapons to Israel and disband the Israel/Canada free trade agreement
I don’t think you’ve been paying much attention to the many actions and statements of government. The current Canadian government has been twisting itself into knots to not hold Israel accountable.

1·6 days agoTotally I agree! Glad to see language around it changing in just a few days.

Canada@lemmy.ca•12 international students at Calgary protest referred to CBSA office after status check
51·10 days agoI agree that the TFW is being heavily abused and that’s something that hasn’t been closed off since Trudeau and will continue under Carney.
However, I don’t think broke students were fueling the 3200/month condo studio crisis. More likely that they were shacking up 5 to a room in the burbs in someone’s non compliant basement unit.
Rent prices and development dropped because everyone is broke and holding onto their money during precarious times (it’s also more profitable to invest in stocks than real estate) - correlation of a drop in immigrants is not causation of drop in prices.

1·10 days agoTrue, but the framing of this legislation is about the illegal occupation in the West Bank. And Canada likes to claim that we follow international law. So we’ll see what traction it can get

3·11 days agoWhile I agree, “terrorist” is the politically charged word that is defined by the governments supporting the apartheid state.
And since it’s the MPs themselves who support apartheid that will vote on it and think only brown people or anti-genocide protestors are terrorists, they’ll instantly shoot it down.

8·11 days agoI don’t either, but I’m going to exercise my democratic right to do what I can and have this on the docket to be discussed.
Let’s see which MPs are openly supportive of genocide

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada adds 75,000 new jobs in July, unemployment rate lowest in 2 years
1·16 days agosaid most of those gains were split between full- and part-time work, as wholesale and retail trade alone added 21,000 new jobs.
I remember reading the employment report a few months back and it said majority of the jobs were part-time.
Another reason why ‘unemployment rate’ isn’t the best metric, but it’s good enough for economists to write articles.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney says Canada backs ICC but stays mum on Trump-sanctioned Canadian judge
1·17 days agoYou don’t even need a financial alternative.
Canada literally already has a law and administrative function “Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (FEMA)”.
Carney is just a coward talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Or sue Facebook and Xitter out the wazoo like other countries are doing.
