It's aboot time.

Canada's foreign ministry and leaders need to pressure the U.S. to reign in their support of Israel's violent response to Oct 7th. I chuckled at this part:

In an interview last week, Israel’s ambassador to Canada suggested that Israel gives more weight to international concerns about its government policies, including violence in the West Bank, when they are expressed countries that also provide more support. He gave the example of the U.S. having deployed aircraft carriers to the region.

A: More money gets more ears, but more likely

B: The U.S. is really the only one fully in Israel's corner.

Bah Canada has no independent foreign policy. We just follow the United States.

That’s not true. Sometimes we just follow the United States

…and then grumble about it. Very quietly.
