Time stamp is 27:00 though not a lot is said. Mishal asks if, like Justin Trudeau, he would honor ICC arrest warrants and he says yes.
We’ve come a long way in a short period. It wasn’t so long ago we were holding the Chinese Huawei exec Meng Wanzhou for our American ex-friends. This hurt our relationship with China big time.
ex-friends.
They might have liked us but we never liked them.
What is more sad is the propaganda we were fed about Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig not being involved with espionage, and they were being detained by China to retaliate Wanzhou detention.
Later we find out the Michael’s were involved with spying, LOL
Ahh yes, agreeing to respect international law: the lowest bar of effort. How sad is it that this feels like something we must celebrate?
It’s even sadder - I don’t believe him
the lowest bar of effort.
This feels a bit disingenuous.
We’re in the middle of trade negotiations that affect a huge swathe of jobs etc with an aggressively pro Israel leader. Considering donald’s capriciousness and willingness to punish allies for ideological disagreement, this actually feels like a bit of a ballsy statement.
If I were on the US relations file, I’d be praying no one related this to trump etc.
There is no appeasing a tyrant, only resistance.
This is a really easy opinion when it costs you nothing.
He isn’t respecting internstional law since he didn’t implement an both side arms embargo , no sanctions on the state of israel and deny palestinian rights to self defence
What international laws are you thinking of?
the Geneva and genocide conventions
Geneva applies to Israel’s conduct.
The genocide convention underlies the icj and UN approaches etc, all of which Canada is following. (Yes, the UN is flawed but that’s the unfortunate reality of international law.)
Canada is following the geneva convention obligations?
Are you sure you mean the Geneva convention?
That’s about how countries conduct war and outlines the rights of civilians, soldiers etc.
I’m not sure how you get to Canada violating that?
Go educate yourself . The convention also oblige countries to not be complicit with countries who do not respect it and abuse human rights. Canada is still selling and buying military equipment’s from/to Israel and did not impose a single sanction of the state of Israel
The High Contracting Parties undertake to respect and to ensure respect for the present Convention in all circumstances
https://lieber.westpoint.edu/common-article-1-1949-geneva-conventions/
Article 1 of the Geneva Conventions is generally interpreted as conferring a responsibility on third party states not involved in an armed conflict to not encourage a party to an armed conflict to violate international humanitarian law, nor to take action that would assist in such violations, and to take appropriate steps to cause such violations to cease.
Also there hundred of canadians serving in the idf despite canadian law prohibiting serving a foreign state army especially one with serious human right abuses
Fuck international law it’s the worst thing to happen to the world
Like in what way? Were you “just saying” or something else like that (eg: talking out emotions without the prerequisite logic to back it up and give it any actual meaning) cause thats for sure what it sounded like
It’s doesn’t allow countries to retain their sovereignty, it only serves to punish, not help. The UN, which hasn’t help prevent any key conflicts in the last 100 years is an abject failure. Furthermore, is mainly enforced by the US and I don’t trust modern day Rome to “keep the peace”.
Great but can we add Trump to the list?
Trump has a criminal record, this has been fought in the past by previous presidents, anyone with a known criminal record cannot enter Canada legally.
Edit: I had to fact check myself and I may be wrong here, have always been under the impression that any convicted criminal cannot enter our country.
Trump already entered Canada with a record for the G7 in K country. You may have missed it cause the “leaders” were well sheltered from actual people and cameras.
But they will make very rare exceptions…
Didn’t his government not pass a law that they claimed stopped the sending of weapons to Israel only to turn out it didn’t at all do so?
Mind you, I’m not Canadian and my experience with Mr Carney is him being the head of the Bank Of England when I lived in the UK, and I wouldn’t believe this guy if he told me the sky is blue.
What did he do in the UK during his time at the Bank of England?
He said Brexit would cripple the economy then after Brexit the economy wasn’t doing well and he tried saying it wasn’t his fault.
Supported the Austerity measures of Tory government who put him there, said a lot of bullshit about the British Economy (as expected from a head of the BoE, mind you)
That said, he wasn’t lying when he made the blindingly obvious prediction that Brexit would cripple the Economy.
Well don’t say it. Now he won’t go.
What if I offer him unlimited chicken wings and 5 cold beers a day?
Hes giving him a heads up.
In today’s day and age, upholding the law presents itself as some remarkable competence.
Even better: saying he will uphold the law if ever a certain criminal goes to the country he governs, presents itself as some remarkable competence.
He can always find an excuse to weasel his way out of his own words if Netanyahu ever does go to Canada.
Thank you, Mark Carney!
Rule of International Law DOES stand, somewhere, to some degree!
_ /\ _
Is he even planning to go there, tho?
He came two times during the conservatives being in power
Okay, now back it up
Why does canada still have good trade relation with Israel and lies about stopping selling arms to Israel so the war criminal use it to continue occupation? Carney is a snake
He says in an attempt to save face.
