NEW: Pro-Israel voices have suggested that anti-Zionism, the pro-Palestine movement and “anti-Israel” policies were responsible for causing the Belleville attack. There is no public evidence to support any of these claims. I provide a timeline of how pro-Israel voices warped the narrative about the attack. readthemaple.com/how-pro-isr…

Mark Carney continues to downplay Trump's brazen war crimes and his latest threat to “annihilate” Iran. Not only that, Carney once again parrots the U.S.-Israeli framing of the war by casting Iran as “one of the greatest threats in the current world.” readthemaple.com/carney-down…
Reporter: But do you think that Mr. Trump goes too far when he says he is considering destroying Iran? Mark Carney: Well, there is a war underway, and he's speaking the language of war.

One of Pierre Poilievre's proposals for negotiating with the Americans was to create a reserve of oil and critical minerals that the U.S. could use to fuel its wars of aggression. readthemaple.com/poilievre-w…
Conservatives are disappointed that the United States has chosen to impose further unjustified tariffs on Canada. They threaten the jobs and livelihoods of families right across our country. Canadians must stand united to defend our country against these unfair attacks on our jobs and businesses. Canada cannot accept one-sided tariffs that will deindustrialize our country. Nor can we accept a bad deal. Instead, we must continue the fight for tariff-free trade. Later today, I will seek a call with the Prime Minister to discuss what we can do to fight for our workers, businesses, and economy. Conservatives will always put our country first. Conservatives support action to protect Canadians and our industries targeted by these unfair U.S. tariffs. We also need urgent economic reforms to restore growth, protect jobs and save our industry. That must include ending the industrial carbon tax, repealing anti-development laws, green lighting the 500 economic projects awaiting federal approval and major tax reforms to return investment to our country, reward work, and recharge our economy. All Canadians must stand united for our workers, our businesses and our country.
