Canada not being a fuckwad on this for once.

You can always rely on Canadians to try everything Then finally do the right thing. Then slowly after the Americans will as well.

Long sigh... I GUESS we should apologize to the First Nations

Then slowly after the Americans will as well.

I hope so. Can we time jump this?

This is how it will play. Crocodile tears and hand wringing only after the Israelis have finished their genocide.

Temporary visas... So what happens when those visas run out? Israel certainly won't let them back in.

I guess it's convenient that these aren't israeli citizens.

I guess they’ll decide to either apply for more permanent residency in this country where their family members are and see if we will have them, or decide to go elsewhere because we have so many people who don’t like migrants because *reasons* in a country with a proud immigration history and need.

Does that also mean they will rescue them from that hell and bring them to Canada? They probably lost everything and won't have a cent to travel

Maybe they can use that pier

Oh wait

2m - 35k dead - 5k going to Canada...

The math still don't work. Even if Israel allows them to stay, how will they live in Gaza?

They shouldn't be horrified, this is what they love, this is what they celebrate. This is what they all clapped for when they applauded that ancient SS freak. They chose their side, they sided with capital and fascism against the unruly poors, the lurking marxists, the terroristic brown people and die Russich horde. You were beaming when you bought the ticket, spare me your crocodile tears about the ride.

If they are so "horrified" maybe they should stop enabling the genocide through their cooperation with the zionist entity, and stop criminalizing opposition to it.
