A Canadian humanitarian organization says its key water-aid truck was bombed in Gaza this week, and the federal government now says it has contacted the Israeli government for “more information” on the incident.
The response comes after the aid agency called on Ottawa to mount a full investigation into what it believes was a “targeted” incident. The IDRF, a registered non-profit based in Toronto, told CBC News that the incident is believed to be the first bombing of a Canadian aid truck during the current war in Gaza.
The truck was bombed in the early hours of Wednesday morning, the relief agency said. It was parked outside the Tuffah district in the northern part of Gaza at the time, and was clearly marked with the organization’s name and a maple leaf, it added.
The current government of Canada is Liberal, not Conservative, but okay
“Liberal”. They’re about the same as American democrats. Our government fully supports Israel in practice.
Irrelevant. Get the accusation correct.
Separate from the Canadian parties, it’s also worth noting that ‘liberal’ and ‘conservative’ are not mutually exclusive ideologies.
Edit: clarified that this is not in reference to political parties in particular.
In Canada they are. They’re literally the party names. If you’re going to comment on foreign politics, try bother knowing what you’re talking about.
Valid. I assumed they were talking about the political terms rather than parties due to the lack of capitalization in the original comment, though my own comment has them capitalized so I certainly muddied the waters further. Definitely my bad, I’ll edit it to be more clear.
I must say, though, you are quite an aggressive fellow. I wasn’t making any judgements or even really commenting on foreign politics in any meaningful way - simply making an observation.
You say aggressive. I say sick of watching people whine about politics they do not understand. That is how we all got in this fucking mess to begin with. People who know nothing about what they’re talking about weighing in with nonsensical opinions that are dismissive, half baked, and dangerous. Sure. Let’s conflate the people who have been more critical of Israel with the conservatives in Canada who are actively supporting them. Am I happy with the current government? Good God no. But I at least know what I’m talking about and half an opinion based off of reality.
I’m aggressive because I am absolutely done with hearing politics from the ignorant. I am done hearing political opinions based on nothing more than false beliefs. Excuse me for being absolutely fucking done when the world is burning around of our ears because of people who open their mouth or act without thinking.
I am so so sorry.
North Korea is a Democratic People’s Republic.
Did you assume he meant the conservative party and not a conservative government. Either way both support Israel which is relevant, thanks though.
Yes considering he said conservative government. In Canada if you’re referring to a government you refer to the party in charge. Not my fault dude is WILDLY unclear and talking bout foreign politics they misunderstand.
