Canada must call for an immediate ceasefire as the US and Israel continue their illegal and reckless war.  We should be demanding justice for violations of international law and war crimes, not tap-dancing around whether or not we support this disastrous Trump-led military adventure.

At #COP30 the EU poses as champion of a #fossilfuel fuel phase-out. But it doesn’t need others to move first: it funds it, burns it, banks the profits, then points the finger South. That’s not climate ambition – it’s demagoguery. 👇Thread👇
