"Canadaโs 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 does 50% of Canadaโs 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.

Today, Liberals, Conservatives, & the Bloc voted to kill #C233. ๐ซโ๏ธ
They chose to keep a massive loophole open that exempts 50% of Canadaโs arms exports from human rights oversight. The Carney Liberals talk about values, but their actions say otherwise. #cdnpoli #HumanRights

Spain just made a diplomatic snub to Israel permanent. Madrid formally ended its ambassador's posting to Israel, confirming that the role is being scrapped.

When I was a teen I naturally thought "daylight savings" was something done in winter because, duh, there's not much daylight so we need to not wake up so early. Then I learned winter time IS standard time, and summer is DST
Headline from National Post - daylight savings time ends on Sunday. Why BC is right to ditch the clock change
Oops @nationalpost.com.web.brid.gy just reported that we've ended daylight savings time when we actually made it permanent ๐ซ

The two databases included the records of over 500 million people in the U.S., living and dead. The former DOGE employee reportedly copied the data onto a personal thumb drive. This adds to the mounting reported violations by Elon Muskโs DOGE as it slashed funding for federal agencies.

Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded $11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with the briefing. The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation, such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first week. Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war. That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each day. The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy โฆ
$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.
Not surprising given their tepid centrism but still genuinely embarrassing for the FF/FG government in Ireland how quickly they got spooked and backed down from even really threatening to do much of anything
Only four European countries have banned trade with the illegal settlements in occupied Palestine
Spain
The Netherlands
Belgium
and Slovenia.
The European Union and United Kingdom, which have largely done nothing at all to hold Israel to account and swear off ever doing anything to hold Israel to account, demand that Israel stop its land theft in the West Bank, or else the EU and UK will do nothing some more.
It's STILL fuck Mark Carney

Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez has just permanently recalled his ambassador to Israel. In protest. Over the attack on Iranian school girls.
Not a statement. Not a condemnation. Action.
He refuses to bow. Refuses to stay silent. Refuses to pretend business as usual works.
