The US/Israeli strikes in Tehran investigated by Amnesty International may constitute indiscriminate attacks and amount to war crimes.

It is imperative that the US and Israel end all unlawful attacks and strictly comply with international humanitarian law.

I was in DC at uni on 9/11, and I remember distinctly thinking ‘oh no, please don’t let this start a war’.

Canadian journalists reacted with bloodlust in the aftermath of 9/11. Here’s some of what they said www.readthemaple.com/remembering-...
Remembering Canadian Media’s Post-9/11 Bloodlust
The media was responsible for helping create an environment where people begged for war, racist laws and attacks on civil liberties.

Private companies know there’s no business case for more pipelines when renewables have never been cheaper, cleaner, and faster to deploy. So the government is investing OUR money instead.

Most Canadians agree: NO taxpayer-funded pipelines >> act.gp/3RlAuJq
Even the oil companies don't want to pay for new pipelines!
Our government shouldn’t gamble our money and our future on pipelines.
