Bread from my local bakery is far less expensive than from the Canadian grocery oligarchs. Also much tastier and fresher.

Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
Civilians in Gaza are enduring prolonged periods without food as aid is blocked and seekers are targetedโ€”conditions consistent with the use of starvation as a weapon, in violation of international law;
UN agencies confirm mass starvation in Gaza is man-made and preventable, with over one million children at risk of dying from hunger and disease;
More than 875 Palestinians have been killed at food distribution sites since May 2025, in strikes condemned as war crimes;
Nearly 90% of Gazaโ€™s population has been forcibly displaced into increasingly uninhabitable zones without access to food, water, or medical care;
Hospitals, schools, journalists, UN workers, and aid centers have been repeatedly attacked, in violation of international humanitarian law;
The United Nations, the International Criminal Court, and human rights experts have opened or supported investigations into war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza;
Canada is a signatory to the Geneva Conventions and Rome Statute and is legally obligated to prevent war crimes and genocide;
Canada continues to export arms and issue military contracts to Israel while offering diplomatic protection;
Inaction in the face of atrocities is complicity, not neutrality; and
Canadians across communities have called for a ceasefire, an end to military support, and the protection of all civilian life.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Call on the Government of Canada to immediately suspend all arms exports to Israel;
2. Support war crimes investigations;
3. Demand unrestricted aid access; and
4. End its complicity in violations of international law.

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep!

Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications.

This should also be banned?

Influence being bought in Govt?

The Girl Guides of Canada wisely avoid the U.S. where the chance of children being raped is high.

Study shows rates of completed and/or attempted forced sexual intercourse against girls in the United States at 10.6%.

Loblaws / Superstore's yellow 'No Name' brand and their 'President's Choice' brand products are most often from the U.S.

Those stores also actively mislead Canadians my mis-labeling their products with Canadian Flags.
