Canada must: Publicly oppose and work to stop a U.S. military intervention in Cuba; Speak out forcefully against unlawful U.S. coercive measures to withhold fuel and starve the Cuban people; Work more determinedly with the United Nations and other countries to get fuel and other life-sustaining supplies to Cuba.

Since President Trump's threats to 'take over' Cuba, Canadian civil society orgs and thousands of individuals from across the country have urged Ottawa to reject the U.S. blockade and threats of invasion that put lives, rights and the UN Charter at risk.

Thanks for the solidarity! Among the Canadian people, we have seen overwhelming support in the face of the U.S. criminal policies, which subject the entire nation to cruel and illegal collective punishment. #CubaIsNotAlone #DropTheBlockade

Yesterday in Toronto, activists protested FIFA’s inaction by still not sanctioning Israel. And fans and supporters of team Bosnia and Herzegovina chanting in solidarity with Palestine. Beautiful sights to see.

Why has Canada found it so difficult to move beyond statements in response to grave violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza? At the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, former Canadian Ambassador to Israel, Jon Allen, offered his assessment.

Israel flattened Beirut in 1982. No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No October 7 to point to then. Just 17,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinian civilians. Even US president then Ronald Reagan, who armed Israel, called Begin furious after seeing a photo of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off and said “It is a holocaust”. They killed so many innocent people that the survivors had no choice but to pick up weapons. Then Israel had the audacity to keep using “Self-Defense” excuse every decade. Israel didn’t stumble into endless war. Israel built it. Brick by brick. Own it.

Replying to @LeahGazan
The term "unfortunate" is a severe understatement that does not do justice to the travesty of this bill getting voted down. Thanks for bringing this initiative: sorry it turned out this way.

Message from @fernando5hicap, president of @siempreconcuba, to the Cuba Solidarity Movement in #Canada: "Not this year, the year of Fidel’s Centenary, nor any other year, will the empire succeed in breaking our resilience and our joy." #CubaIsNotAlone #100AñosConFidel

In the avoidance of doubt as the post below is unclear: This EU Council legal opinion could be a game changer: trade with the Israeli illegal settlements can be stopped with qualified majority. On Monday, we are calling on the EU member states to BAN all trade in goods and services with Israel illegal settlements. This is what international law demands, as set out in the ICJ advisory opinion of July 2024: the EU’s clear legal obligation is to prevent trade and investments that assist in the maintenance of Israel’s unlawful occupation of the Palestinian territory, including the establishment, expansion and maintenance of illegal settlements.
This EU Council legal opinion could be a game changer: tariffs on all trade from and to the Israeli illegal settlements can be adopted with qualified majority. Will EU Governments have the courage to stand by and for international law, and by so doing, protect Palestinian communities from further forcible transfer out of the West Bank? They have an opportunity (yet again) to do the right thing on Monday.

More $ towards Zionist normalization efforts, and nothing meaningful to end genocide or halt arms transfers or trade with Israel. Not surprisingly this is joint initiative with UK, Australia & Canada who are at forefront of normalizing, two state effort against the resistance.

📍RIGHT NOW: Activists in Toronto unfurl a banner urging @FIFAcom to kick Israel out. Banner also points to the abduction of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Palestinian football player Natalie Abu Dayyeh.

La perversidad imperial no tiene límites. Después de prohibir a cuanto país lo intente, proveer de combustibles a #Cuba, se lanzan contra CUPET para estrechar aún más el cerco petrolero, imponiendo nuevas amenazas a quienes comercien con la empresa cubana. 1/2

BS response from the Transport Minister. I’ve been a registered Liberal for yrs. Voted @MarkJCarney for leader. (Regretfully.) Donated to the party last election. TO Liberal MPs have been MIA, useless. Especially Environm’t Minister @juliedabrusin. Utter betrayal. As they smirk.
