Today, the Carney government joined the Conservatives and the Bloc to defeat Jenny Kwan’s No More Loopholes Bill — legislation that would have stopped Canadian weapons sent to the U.S. from being used to fuel the genocide in Gaza.
It’s a deeply shameful vote that suggests they would rather appease Trump than protect vulnerable civilians.
But this moment also shows why voices like Jenny Kwan and her colleagues in the NDP caucus matter so much. They continue to champion human rights, peace, and international justice with courage and persistence, even when few others in Parliament will.
Millions of Canadians share that vision. They want Canada to be a force for peace, not a junior arms dealer.
This is exactly why our country needs the NDP.

It will never cease to amaze how easy it is for some people to make excuses for participating in a genocide. Saying I will not be part of a genocide is itself a meaningful objective, and if you do not understand this simple truth then you’re truly lost.
The thing is, Trump will fuck Canada regardless of how many atrocities Canada signs up to do together. Just look at the Europeans bending over backwards for him, and all they get in return is abuse. Abandoning all your values to suck up to fascists is not pragmatism, it’s debasement.
I’m frankly amazed that you don’t realize just how psychopathic the whole argument that since we can’t stop the genocide we might as well take part in it is. If you’re not gonna draw the line at that, then you’re no better than the fascists you’re taking photo ops with.

We just pretend what? Seems to me that the argument you’re trying to make here is if we don’t facilitate the genocide, then somebody else will.

And yet, the fact of the matter remains that we couldn’t even pass this performative and toothless act. What does that say about our government?
