On behalf of
@gbsumudflotilla (Canada),
@CanadaBoatGaza, and 13 Canadians who participated on the two most recent Gaza-bound flotilla sailings in April and May 2026, and their families and loved ones, I hand delivered this letter signed by them all addressed to Prime Minister
@MarkJCarney and Minister of Foreign Affairs
@AnitaAnandMP.
The letter requests for an urgent meeting on Canada’s obligation to protect Canadians. And it also calls on the government to:
1) Take all means necessary to immediately end the genocide of the Palestinian people and the illegal blockage imposed on Gaza,
2) Adopt immediate sanctions against Israel, including the termination of the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement and cut all political, diplomatic, economic, financial, military, academic, and cultural relations contributing to Israel’s ongoing violations of international law,
3) Adopt a comprehensive two-way arms and military equipment embargo on Israel, and
4) Call for the immediate release of the 10,000 Palestinian prisoners including 100s of children, being held hostage, tortured, sexually abused, and arbitrarily detained by the Israeli colonial regime.
