I was actually gonna scroll past this but no. Everyone needs to see and reblog this. I will never be desensitized to this act against humanity…40 CHILDREN…not on this Earth anymore…because of the United States
The bomb dropped on a school bus in Yemen by a Saudi-led coalition warplane was sold to Riyadh by the US, according to reports based on analysis of the debris.
The 9 August attack killed 40 boys aged from six to 11 who were being taken on a school trip. Eleven adults also died. Local authorities said that 79 people were wounded, 56 of them children.
The death toll keeps going up btw this is a specific type of missile that they’re using, they first started using this during the Obama administration, but he put a block on them, during the election the Saudi government donated millions to Trump and when he became president he agreed to sell them 120 billion dollars worth of weapons so that they could up the massacre on the Yemeni people
Friendly reminder that Canada is complicit in this inhumane crisis in Yemen too:
When Global Affairs Canada announced another aid package to war-torn Yemen in January, it boasted that Ottawa had given a total of $65 million to help ease what the United Nations has called “the worst man-made humanitarian crisis of our time.”
What Justin Trudeau’s government did not mention in its news release is that since 2015, Canada has also approved more than $284 million in exports of Canadian weapons and military goods to the countries bombing Yemen.
“It’s a bit like helping pay for somebody’s crutches after you’ve helped break their legs,” said Cesar Jaramillo, executive director of Project Ploughshares, a research and advocacy organization that studies Canada’s arms trade.
Jaramillo calls Canada’s position “blatantly contradictory,” saying the government can’t claim to be a champion of human rights while arming the world’s worst offenders. “The problem is Canada also wants the sweet multibillion-dollar deals, so it cuts corners on human rights.”
The Canadian government is the seller in some of these transactions. In others, they broker and approve deals for Canadian companies. Government officials could not say whether weapons exported from Canada have been used in Yemen.
“On July 1st, far right group #LaMeute planned to hold their “largest and best rally ever” in #Montreal. #Anti-fascists outnumbered them, surrounded them, and prevented them from marching by keeping them confined to a single block.“
This is the kind of treatment asylum seekers are currently facing in the United States; they are given the choice to either give up their asylum claim, which would keep their family together but be forced to return to a country wracked with violence, or be imprisoned for a year and have their child put up for adoption.
If the Liberal Party sees this and still concludes that the US constitutes a “Safe” country for asylum seekers then they are morally bankrupt on this issue.
Liberals? The republicans are the ones enforcing and utilizing these policies under trump. Don’t get it twisted.
Hi, the blog this post is from is called ALL THE CANADIAN POLITICS.
When Canadians refer to Liberals or ‘The Liberal Party’ we are generally not talking about ‘Liberal minded Canadians’, and we are definitely not talking about a US Political Party or its supporters.
We are talking about the Liberal Party of Canada and its supporters, who currently run the Canadian Federal Government, and guess what?
These Liberals are not taking any concrete action to deal with Trump’s outrageous immigration policies, in fact these Liberals lead by ‘WOKE BAE’ Justin Trudeau wants to make it harder for refugees to enter Canada:
And Trudeau has done nothing to make it easier for refugees in the USA in danger of deportation or family separation to apply to Canada.
In fact he wants to maintain the Safe Third Country agreement, an agreement that assumes that the USA is a safe country for immigrants, and which makes it more difficult for refugees to claim asylum in Canada.
A group of far-right anti-Islam protesters attempting to flex their power on the streets of Hamilton were met with sharp counter-resistance and a massive police presence on Sunday. The failed “Patriot Walk on Lock” was largely derailed thanks to a 1,200-word anti-racist blog post that looks straight out of 2009.
The pushback was so intense that the “patriots” attempted to reschedule their event but in haste forgot to tell the people attending—leaving lots of their supporters high and dry.
