As a Canadian, I'm incredibly disappointed in my government for supporting this genocide and settling of stolen land. We're on the wrong side of history with this.
this genocide and settling of stolen land.
Guess they're concerned they'd have to look inward a little?
Thing is, Canada has been looking inward. That's what makes it worse.
They can shut the fuck up about "truth and reconciliation" while simultaneously supporting a modern day indigenous genocide on top of continuing on their own indigenous genocide in secret. I knew they were full of shit after they made the Queen's day of death a holiday.
It's so absolutely insane how Canada is happy to tout reconciliation with First Nations people and simultaneously support the genocide of an indigenous people.
That's just a resistance-numbing effort. In the courts and on the streets they very much continue their genocide at full speed, and judging by how shocked as shit people were at discovering the mass graves and how quickly everyone forgot about it after the initial shock, it's working.
First Nations
I think they're third-nations with all the discoveries of civilisations long buried.
Generally speaking if Germany votes in favour of this kind of resolution and you against, you done fucked up.
Yeah, why the fuck are we red?!?
Because Canada itself is an apartheid regime, and doesn't want to set a "wrong" precedent.
Disappointed, sure, but I don't think you should be surprised.
Canada was founded as a country specifically for the purpose of genocide. Virtually the entire country is on settled and stolen land. It would be hypocritical to be against someone else doing the same.
You could say the same about Australia and various Latin America countries, yet they still condemn Israel action.
You're right, but there's a reason why Canadians don't talk about their "founding fathers" the way Americans do.
I don't know how many other countries are the same way.
The first PM was explicitly racist against indigenous people, and IIRC, the country was explicitly founded on the basis of white supremacy over indigenous peoples.
That's true for a lot of places, it's just that Canadians recognize that.
Canada was founded more than 150 years ago. I'm surprised that in that intervening period, nothing has changed.
Same.
What's our problem, Canada?
Don't want to piss off the downstairs neighbours.
Even Europe and Oceania is onboard with this one, though. Don't they usually abstain at least?
Conservatives push up more to the US than UK
It’s why we can’t get support behind CANZUK
We're just America's hat, what do you expect
Fuck, Canada you keep embarrassing me recently.
We have some populists roping in the hillbillies right now. It's amazing how well they're weaponizing stupid and pushing our PM around.
Dude fr idk what our government's foreign policy goals even are.
Woohoo … Yeah … Canada vo … ???.. What the hell!
Apartheid regimes stick together. Canada did to First Nations what Israel aims to do to Palestinians.
What is Hungary doing, compensating for its stance on Ukraine ?
Owning the EU libs, as Hungary do.
You know it's bad when even Germany is getting wise to the game
Yet Canada isn't
To be fair, they had a Nazi in their parliament much more recently than the Germans had
The settlements have always been recognized as illegal, but I guess its good to reaffirm it.
Its a war crime to move a civilian population into a military occupied region. This crime has been ongoing for decades.
Wait the UK voted in favour? Literally just yesterday they were whining about Pro Palestinian marches in London. Then a bunch of right wing fuck nuggets turned up to fight to the pro Palestinian marches, except they turned up in the wrong place and ended up fighting the police instead.
I guess they realise their position is untenable on that point. The general public hate them and they know it.
They are not condemning Israel for the current assault on Gaza. They are condemning Israel for the settlements (which is a blatant war crime that has long been criticized by every country except Israel and the US iirc.
They are condemning Israel for the settlements
The illegal settlements that are one of the contributing factors that led to Hamas growing in support.
It's becoming impossible to spin this as anything other than a genocide that the west is facilitating at this point.
I'm not sure this has any practical application. 6 years ago it passed 155-7.
Citing it helps people understand the historical context when learning about what's actually going on there
I guess so, and provides truth in contrast to exclusively hearing a narrative.
@yogthos [looking at Canada all upset]
Canada behind the scenes is 10x more fascist than America could ever hope to be.
@yogthos
Of course Canada voted against it…good lapdog;)Surprising Australia voted in favour this time

The U.S spends more on military than the next 7 countries combined. It'd put up a good fight. Probably conquer Canada/Mexico in hours (I'd assume they would just concede the same way Paris/France conceded to the Nazis in WW2), and then we'd also have the advantage in Eurasia. We could nuke most of western Europe, and the only country that could really stop us is Russia because they also have a comparable number of nukes. If we successfully disarm them and are the sole nuclear super power in the world, I could see the U.S winning ww3 and becoming a global government.

The next seven countries combined (the next eleven, in fact) are all in green in the above map. #12 is Canada, and every other country is either supporting this resolution or abstaining. The US could well win a third world war but it wouldn't happen the way you say. Nukes won't be used in conflicts by nation-states, only (and hopefully not) by rogue groups that get their hands on one. Nukes are a deterrent nowadays rather than a weapon.
Canada is also still under the monarchy so it's not like we could side with America against the world
I don't trust that the U.S will always do the right thing with nukes. Maybe you have unwavering faith in the good heart of the imperialist core to never use nukes in conflicts, I'm not as trusting.
Okay, now what are they going to do about it?
Apparently condemning Israeli settlements that has been happening for years is more important than condemning the killing of the innocent Palestinians that's happening right now
