Today, Liberals, Conservatives, & the Bloc voted to kill #C233. 🚫⚖️
They chose to keep a massive loophole open that exempts 50% of Canada’s arms exports from human rights oversight. The Carney Liberals talk about values, but their actions say otherwise. #cdnpoli #HumanRights
The U.S. and Israeli bombardment of Iran is a reckless escalation that risks a catastrophic regional conflict. 🕊️🌍
I’m calling on the Prime Minister to condemn these attacks and ensure Canada is not complicit through arms exports. 🚫🔫

Why does 50% of Canada’s military exports have zero case-by-case oversight?
My Bill #C233 ensures transparency and accountability for ALL military exports, aligning us with our international obligations.
The vote is tomorrow. It's time to act. 🎥👇 #HumanRights

The issue is not whether we trust the US; it’s whether Canada exercises its own sovereignty to assess human rights risks. 🇨🇦⚖️
I’m urging all MPs to look at the facts and vote to close the arms export loophole this Wednesday.

Regulatory oversight is not prohibition. 🛑
Today I addressed the House to clear up the misinformation on #C233. My bill doesn't stop exports; it ensures that ALL military exports—including those to the U.S.—undergo the same human rights assessment.

"Canada’s current arms-export system contains a loophole so large that it undermines the very values we claim to uphold."
Former Liberal Justice Minister and UN Ambassador Allan Rock explains why we must pass #C233 to ensure oversight on ALL military exports. #cdnpoli
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.
www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
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.
