Like so many Canadians and people around the world, my heart is broken by the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
Canada must stop all arms sales to Israel.
Canada must sanction Netanyahu and his government.
Canada must end its complicity in this genocide.

What are Pierre Poilievre's conservatives so scared of?
Because they just announced they're breaking from decades of tradition and won't let media travel with them on the election campaign.
