Why is 50% of Canada’s military exports exempt from public reporting? It makes no sense.
My Bill #C233 ensures that exports to the U.S. meet the same human rights standards as everywhere else. Proud to have the support of Allan Rock and Alex Neve.

Canada shouldn’t have a "blind spot" for arms exports.
I’m calling on all MPs to support my Bill #C233 to close the loophole on military exports. We need consistency & transparency to protect human rights

Conservatives want to strip refugee health care, and Liberals are already forcing them to pay out-of-pocket for medicine.
Denying preventative care doesn't save money—it just pushes people into ERs and costs taxpayers more.
Stop scapegoating. Fix the backlogs.

Even Liberal MPs are now admitting what we’ve known for months: the immigration file is in total disarray.
When the Minister is "absent" and "overwhelmed," families stay separated and backlogs grow. Canadians deserve leadership, not more Liberal excuses.

The Liberal government is hiking passport fees again—despite recent service delays. With the cost of living already biting, Canadians need essential ID to be affordable, not more expensive. 🛑

At today’s press conference on Parliament Hill, I urged fed govt to urgently reform & accelerate the Special Immigration Measures program to help Palestinians reunite w/family in Canada.

Jimmy Lai, 78, gets 20 years as a prisoner of conscience for defending democracy & press freedom. This is a grave injustice under Beijing’s NSL.
With family in Canada, we must demand his immediate release—or humanitarian medical parole here.

Lloyd Axworthy & Allan Rock: “Canada’s current arms-export system contains a loophole so large that it undermines the very values we claim to uphold.”
Canadian-made parts are in weapons used in Gaza, Sudan & beyond—via the U.S. exemption. Read full article www.jennykwanndp.ca/globe_mail_w...
Powerful op-ed by former Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy & ex-UN Ambassador Allan Rock: Canada’s arms export loophole lets weapons fuel conflicts abroad with ZERO oversight to the U.S.
Time to close it! Support my Bill C-233, the No More Loopholes Act.

My bill, No More Loopholes Act (Bill C-233), would ensure American-bound arms are regulated like all other exports—subjecting them to transparency and human rights risk assessments. We must stop giving blank cheque for Canadian-made weapons. #BillC233 2/2

Important read from @alexneve.bsky.social in the @hilltimes.com. As we witness a "live-streamed genocide" and rising global violence, Canada continues to send military technology to the U.S. w/zero human rights oversight. It’s time to close the U.S. loophole. 1/2

These companies claim to value "inclusion" and "social responsibility." I am calling on them to reconsider these partnerships. You cannot be an "ally" while supporting an agency responsible for widespread human rights abuses. #HumanRights #CdnPoli 3/3

ICE is responsible for deeply harmful policies, including mass deportations and family separations. Business practices that support the normalization of authoritarianism and the targeting of vulnerable people raise serious questions about corporate accountability. 2/3

I am deeply disappointed by reports linking BC-based @hootsuite.com and Jimmy Pattison Developments to ICE. Whether through DHS contracts or leasing processing facilities, Canadian companies have a responsibility to uphold human rights wherever they operate. 1/3

If funding isn't renewed by March 2026, thousands of Indigenous, Queer, and rural survivors will have nowhere to call. The National Action Plan must include stabilized funding for these frontline lifelines. Minister @rechievaldez.bsky.social, it’s time to deliver on your commitment.
#Reconciliation
Fed funding for SalalSupport and IRSSS Indigenous Crisis Line is expiring March. These services are lifeline for survivors of sexual violence and those healing from residential school system.
@rechievaldez.bsky.social, will you renew funding? Reconciliation, ending GBV require action, not just words
I am calling on the government to:
✅ Adjust the Levels Plan to honor commitments
✅ Remove Sudan from the capped H&C stream
✅ Establish transparent, enforceable timelines
✅ Prioritize family reunification Canada must keep its word before more lives are lost.

Under the latest Immigration Levels Plan, Sudan, Ukraine, and Hong Kong are grouped into a tiny "other" category. With only 5,800 spaces in 2026 for all three, advocates estimate a 13-year backlog. People fleeing war and famine cannot survive a 13-year wait.

Liberal government’s "promise of safety" for Sudanese families is failing. I joined Sudanese Canadian families and advocates to demand action. Prolonged delays aren't just paperwork—they are costing lives. Families are waiting for approvals that come too late. #Sudan www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Democracy cannot be protected with half-measures or $50 fines. We need the immediate appointment of a Commissioner and regulations that actually align with the law. Transparency delayed is democracy denied.

Parliament intended the Act to cover ALL levels of government. But the new regulations are silent on provincial and municipal officials. By saying they’ll be included “eventually,” the @mark-carney.bsky.social government is leaving our local communities vulnerable to interference right now.

The Hogue Commission was clear: China and India are aggressively targeting Canada. Yet, @mark-carney.bsky.social government’s implementation of the Foreign Influence Transparency Act is too weak, too vague, and too slow. Here’s why it misses the mark: #cdnpoli

I am calling on the Minister to summon the Israeli Ambassador and demand a formal written explanation. Anything less risks normalizing the mistreatment of Canadian parliamentarians and citizens abroad.

Other delegates were pressured under duress to sign forms accepting a characterization as "security risks" without being provided any factual reasoning. This blanket denial of 30 Canadians undermines claims of individualized assessments.

Disturbingly, MP Iqra Khalid was reportedly verbally assaulted and physically shoved by officials who claimed they could touch her "as much as I want". This occurred despite the delegation having pre-approved visas and official parliamentary passports.

I have written to Minister @anitaanand.bsky.social regarding the unacceptable denial of entry and mistreatment of a Canadian parliamentary delegation at the Allenby Crossing this past week. The conduct of Israeli border officials was wholly inconsistent with diplomatic norms.

When Israel arbitrarily and consistently frames security interests ahead of human rights, we have an unacceptable backsliding on international human rights obligations.

Jimmy Lai is a prisoner of conscience whose only ‘crime’ is defending democracy and press freedom. Canada must call for his immediate and unconditional release—or at minimum, urgent medical care. #FreeJimmyLai

The sale of Canadian-made armoured vehicles to ICE is unacceptable. I’ve urged the government to shut down these export loopholes — and I welcome Lloyd Axworthy’s call echoing this demand.
Canada’s foreign policy must reflect our human rights commitments.

Women’s groups, migrant-rights advocates are clear: C-12 will endanger women, gender-diverse people, children and asylum seekers.
Lib joined with Con and Bloc to reject every NDP amendment that would have protected survivors of violence.
This bill violates dignity, fairness and gender equality.
