Michael Bueckert @mbueckert.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Despite Mélanie Joly's initial denials, the fact remains that Canada brokered a weapons deal that explicitly identifies Israel as the end consumer.

Michael Bueckert @mbueckert.bsky.social · 15/08/2023In March, Canada's UN Ambassador Bob Rae admitted that some of Israel’s activities "amount to de facto annexation," and said that "I think that's something we have to pay attention to as a government." Instead, Canada is now asking the ICJ NOT to investigate the matter. 020
