Despite Mélanie Joly's initial denials, the fact remains that Canada brokered a weapons deal that explicitly identifies Israel as the end consumer. This is immoral given Israel’s ongoing genocide, but it also breaks Joly’s explicit promise to Canadians.

In March, Canada's UN Ambassador Bob Rae admitted that some of Israel’s activities "amount to de facto annexation," and said that "I think that's something we have to pay attention to as a government." Instead, Canada is now asking the ICJ NOT to investigate the matter.

Canada's new National Defence Minister is former Toronto police chief Bill Blair. Under his leadership, Toronto police committed so much brutality against G20 protestors that they had to pay out $16.5m in a settlement to over 1,100 people caught up in mass arrests.
