Canada's sanctions regime against Russia includes a comprehensive two-way arms embargo.
But Canada applies no comparable measures against Israel – even in the midst of an ongoing genocide. To the contrary, Israeli arms manufacturers like Elbit Systems are free to acquire Canadian companies whose technology can be used to entrench Israel's unlawful military occupation of Palestine.
This is yet another example of Canada failing to fulfill its obligation "not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by the continued presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory." (ICJ Advisory Opinion, July 19, 2024)
Elbit Systems has completed the acquisition of International Submarine Engineering (ISE), a Canadian company specializing in advanced autonomous underwater and remotely operated systems for the maritime domain.
Together, our combined capabilities strengthen a comprehensive maritime portfolio spanning autonomous surface and underwater platforms, mission systems, C2, sensors, communications, and electronic warfare.
The addition of ISE is expected to expand capabilities in underwater ISR, Mine Countermeasures (MCM), and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW).

La France est en train de glisser. En 24h, plusieurs lignes rouges ont été franchies.
• Le 2e personnage de l’État plaide pour la dissolution du principal parti d’opposition dans ce pays.
• L’armée va être déployée pour des missions de police intérieure.
• Des couvre-feux sont établis dans les principales villes du pays.
• Une chroniqueuse télé a été mise à pied pour avoir contredit une députée qui soutient le gouvernement.
• Les services de renseignement sont utilisés par le Gouvernement pour tenter d’imputer la responsabilité d’infractions au principal parti d’opposition.
• La police a tenté d’interpeller un député du principal parti d’opposition dans une gare.
• Le parquet tente de bâillonner une porte-parole de la cause palestinienne et députée européenne pour un tweet qu’elle a supprimé.
Ce n’est pas la France.
Nous devons collectivement nous ressaisir.

It should be illegal for Israel’s top arms producer to purchase a Canadian company.
Elbit Systems is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.
Cancel the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, enact sanctions and a two-way arms embargo now.

Toronto, don’t let this guy win. He’ll screw you over just like Ford did to Ontario.
A new poll finds Brad Bradford has taken a narrow lead over Olivia Chow in the Toronto mayoral race, with less than a week to go until election day.

My @TorontoStar column: One reason this mayoral election hasn’t seen many big ideas? Blame Doug Ford, and his meddling in Toronto issues
There is one big idea that could change all of this, though. We should be talking about making Toronto a Charter City thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

Alerte. La montée des accusations portées contre nous par David Lisnard, Gérard Larcher, les porte-paroles de l'extrême droite et des émissions sur le système audiovisuel du gouvernement, comme les manifs des milices d'extrême droite à Lyon la nuit dernière, me font craindre des provocations souvent pratiquées dans ce type de période de crise par les gouvernements aux abois et leurs alliés. J'appelle à la vigilance, la prudence et la retenue les militants et sympathisants de notre campagne présidentielle.
Loved this woman!
She was asked “Why are you so optimistic [that Alberta will vote no for a referendum]?”
“Because I’m Canadian!” She said with the biggest smile.
Alberta has always and will always be Canadian, just like all provinces & territories!

These 32 #BloodBikes commemorate the 32 people killed on Bloor, Yonge & University in 20-years before bike lanes were built.
After bike lanes were installed only one tragic loss of life has occurred in 6-years since 2020.
Bike lanes keep EVERYONE save, not only people cycling.

The most annoying thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end world hunger, fight climate change, and cure cancer, but greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead. The wasted human potential is heartbreaking.

Watch as First Minister John Swinney announces his intention to being Scotland’s buses back under public control 🚨
Scotland’s bus services were under public control until the mid-1980s, when deregulation introduced by Margaret Thatcher’s government saw private operators enter the market

Nous devons maintenir une capacité de discernement et de sang-froid.
N'écoutez pas le discours du Premier ministre qui demande de choisir son « camp ». Le mot est détestable.
Le choix se fait entre une population et sa jeunesse, plongées dans une crise profonde, et un gouvernement qui utilise toujours les mêmes méthodes : le pourrissement et une violence aveugle.
Le gouvernement est seul responsable. Il n'a pas su organiser le maintien de la tranquillité publique.

people in the US don’t protest like they do in France because the propaganda in the US is so strong that people internalize their failures instead of correctly seeing it as a product of a immoral, capitalist system

I’m deeply troubled by the Toronto Star’s reporting that the Ford government hid a study showing problem gambling rates significantly higher than expected. Ontarians deserve transparency, not a government that keeps them in the dark.
As premier, I’ll put an end to Ford’s harmful online gambling advertising scheme and make sure Ontarians have the treatment and support they need to recover from gambling addiction.

Yesterday's election victory for the left in Vancouver is a great example of what happens when the left can come together and not split the vote at least for the mayoralty.
Now they have a centre-left mayor and the most left-wing council in years✊️
