Evan, you are not correct regarding the actual charges. The charges at the ICC are not genocide, which has a very specific meaning. Netanyahu and Gallant are accused of the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare, crimes against humanity for murder and persecution and the war crime of intentionally directing attacks against civilians. The charge of genocide (extermination) has explicitly been excluded.
When it comes to how countries respond to warrants, the question should be if Canada wants to be in the group of countries that consist of the UK, France, Germany, Australia and over a hundred other countries, or does Canada want to be part of the US, Hungary and a handful of authoritarian countries? I think that is an easy choice and hardly controversial.
I couldn’t agree more…… we cannot pick and choose which rule of law to follow….. the end result of that is chaos …… or the election result we just witnessed
All good, except “a system that requires representatives to do their best.” The CPC are clearly not doing that; they are abusing a system that has always assumed everyone’s acting in good faith.
You don't care if your country is complicit in genocide? The ruthless and many-faceted mass murder of innocent civilians, mostly women and children, done by our US and Israeli allies partly with Canadian-made weapons, means nothing to you? Wow!

When is the last time you perceived & acknowledged a Conundrum

And please cease Conflating Politicking with Governance thank you ! 🦎🏴☠️🍁
Wrong on the House being sacrosanct.

He didn’t say that. Read it again
I wish Substack had a dislike button so I could dislike your comment.
I agree with Keith Lovatt: "Read it again".
I did. I agree its not as black and white as I first thought.
