Canada is committed to global western hegemony. There are no hifalutin principles at work. We will quickly take action against states deemed adversarial to western interests and turn a blind eye to atrocities committed by allies. It would be refreshing if the government was transparent about that.

Why Canada stands with Ukraine but not Gaza
Ottawa's double standards are on full display as it condemns Russia's war, while enabling Israel's genocide

the Reclamation @thereclamationmag.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
The play? Sanction the Israeli government as Russia is and send oil to Cuba. Of course, we won't do that because it steps on the toes of Washington. Hence why we can't muster the strength to denounce the war on Iran, blockade of Cuba or genocide of Gazans.

the Reclamation @thereclamationmag.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Canada has refused to call it a genocide. But yes, Canada has historically supported a two state solution, even though we need a S African style one state solution that ends Israeli ethno-supremacy.

the Reclamation @thereclamationmag.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
It’s not about Hamas, it’s about the people of Gaza. Thousands of children are dead or amputees and the entire civilian population is in tents. Iran has also seen civilians massacred in the thousands over some egoistic impulse of Trump. Cuba is being starved. Nary a word of condemnation. Sickening.

It's a fair complaint. Western governments are complicit in numerous atrocities around the world. This makes their support for Ukrainian sovereignty look hypocritical at best.
