Migrants make Canada work. We care for children and elders, grow food, build homes, and keep communities running. But the government is pushing migrants out instead of giving people equal rights. Permits are expiring, being refused, cancelled, or made impossible to renew. Refugees are under attack. People are being deported. Families are being separated. Those

We stopped permits and prevented backsliding, but the government is clearly unwilling to do what it takes to actually stop the flow of all Canadian arms to Israel’s war crimes. Our next step is clear – we need to take an arms embargo into our own hands. Stay tuned. 5/5

Amongst some fo the signs:
- Orange "Every Child Matters" indigenous banner
- Hand-drawn sign of a bulldozer with the name FORD above, overlaid with a "forbidden" sign
- "Consult me first!" --Neskantaga Strong
- "Free Entry Mining: Illegal under Anishinaabe Law!"
- "Wyldo + Juno: Neskantaga Says Cease and Desist"
- "From Tigray to Turtle Island, Justice for All"
- "Sturgeon Forever" with a hand drawing of a sturgeon fish
A speaker is delivering a speech from the street.  Behind her, there are two hand-made banners:

- "Canadian Mini Kills, Destroys" with images of smoke stacks, along with warplanes dropping bombs on destroyed buildings
- "Mining is not the future; The Future is:"  
-- "Decolonized" with a painting of a verdant landscape
-- "Relational" with people of different cultures holding hands
-- "Life-giving" with fish in a riverAnother angle on the same speaker, this time showing Congolese flags, and a partially-visible banner that says:

It is horrifying and deeply shameful that Carney and Anand have chosen to stand with Trump and Netanyahu as they launch large-scale missile attacks on Iran. Instead of supporting the US and Israel’s blatant acts of war, Canada can and must act to advance diplomacy, de-escalation, and peace.
Screen capture of the whole text of Carney and Anand's statement.  The full text can be found in the quoted post.  Sentences we have underlined in the statement:

_Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East_

_Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself_

_Canada supports the United States acting_ to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.
