Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire deal, Israel launched one of its most devastating attacks on Lebanon to date.

Over a hundred strikes in ten minutes - carnage in Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering.

Hundreds dead, entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Reports of ethnic cleansing and open discussion of permanent military occupation.

Prime Minister Carney has rightly condemned the invasion as illegal, but words are not enough.

Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.

US-Israeli impunity has shredded the international order: Canada should lead in rebuilding it.

Lol, the left can be so brutal.

Singh wasn’t anywhere near that bad :)

I swear the left are harder on singh than some of the racist right wingers I've met.

Right? He tried. Got desperate when his poll numbers tanked…but he tried.

At the end of the day it’s shitty to acknowledge…but Canadians just might not be ready to elect a Sikh dude federally…even if I would argue he’s the best leader I’ve seen in my lifetime. He actually got something in exchange for his leverage, too. Maybe that didn’t even matter because leftists jumped on the Carney train en masse because of what’s going on down south and how obvious is was Pollievre would sell out souls to him. Little did they know Carney was going to saddle us with austerity that gives conservatives a wet dream…if it were a conservative (by party) doing it.
