Trumpโ€™s America is not a safe country. Not for its citizens, and not for migrants.

Thatโ€™s why Leadnow supporter Juanita just launched a petition calling on Canada to end the Safe Third Country Agreement, and allow migrants to seek asylum at our borders.

New year, new record? A new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives shows that the CEO-to-worker pay gap has reached a record-breaking level.

So while the rest of Canada is suffering, wondering whether they can afford rent and groceries, corporate greed is running rampant.๐Ÿ’ฐ

Ottawa and Alberta have struck a deal paving the way for a tar sands pipeline to BCโ€™s coast โ€” a deal that tramples Indigenous rights, puts BCโ€™s coastline at risk, and locks us into a sunsetting industry.

The Carney government is on the verge of a deal that will pave the way for a tar sands pipeline from AB to the BC coast โ€” threatening our oceans and trampling on Indigenous rights, to enrich oil + gas corporations.

Our network stands in solidarity with the flotilla participants bringing life-saving aid to Gaza who have been illegally abducted by Israel.

While the ceasefire deal brings hope, it does not erase the suffering Palestinians have endured, or Canada's complicity.

As the first phase of this deal unfolds, we continue to call for this to be a permanent ceasefire and for an end to the illegal occupation. We won't stop until liberation is reached.

We know this ceasefire deal is not a permanent or guaranteed end to Israelโ€™s occupation. Israel has violated ceasefire deals before, and this has not stopped them from carrying out attacks in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

09.10.2025 20:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But countries like Canada remain complicit in this genocide and in Israelโ€™s illegal occupation. A ceasefire does not end the need for swift action and accountability. Canada still needs to close the loopholes that allow arms to flow to Israel and impose sanctions in response to their war crimes.

The forced starvation, displacement, and mass destruction of all infrastructure has left a long road towards rebuilding. We have witnessed thousands of children being killed and entire family lines erased. Israel must be brought to justice for the war crimes they have committed.

This is a major step, but we have been here before, and we cannot ignore the horror and devastation that Israel has caused in Gaza in the past 2 years.

While the death toll being claimed is over 67,000 people, many reports have estimated the numbers to be in the hundreds of thousands.
