> ICAN condemns the illegal attack by the two nuclear-armed states, US and Israel, on Iran. These attacks are totally irresponsible and risk provoking further escalation as well as increasing the danger of nuclear proliferation and use.

»A former senior official of Hamas, with whom he has since broken ties, Yousef offers a bleak assessment of two years of war in the Palestinian enclave. Now living in a tent in Gaza, he voices rare criticism among Islamist circles toward Yahya Sinwar, the militant behind the October 7 attack, which he calls a 'fatal mistake.'«

It doesn't matter what party neoliberals hide behind. There is no progressive left anymore in Canada.
Economically we've been hijacked by global corporate interests and "elected" politicians exist only to serve the capitalistic militaristic regimes. Yeah I'm talking about you #DavidEby.
FPTF breeds totalitarian cult of personality. When citizens try to hold politicians accountable they are gaslit or criminalized. #proportional_Representation #disarmament #democracyNow

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

I think the women of this country, if they face the fact of the present situation, will agree with me that this is a time for action — not for war, but for mobilization of every bit of peace machinery. It is also a time for facing the fact that you cannot use a weapon, even though it is the weapon that gives you greater strength than other nations, if it is so destructive that it practically wipes out large areas of land and great numbers of innocent people.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1954-04-16), “My Day”

THIS weekend.. Antonio Guterres, will be visiting Britain. ..marking the 80th anniversary of the first meeting of the UN general assembly in London in January 1946.

At that first UN general assembly meeting there was only one substantive resolution. It called for the abolition of nuclear weapons. Support came from both... the United States and Vyacheslav Molotov for the Soviet Union.
