Scotiabank Preys on Genocide

Scotiabank’s global asset fund, 1832 Asset Management, has a deadly history of complicity in Israeli genocide. A year and a half ago, it owned 5% of Israeli arms company Elbit Systems worth almost $500 million US. Then, it gradually divested some of its shares and at the end of September 2024, it was down to just $118 million. This incremental “divestment” followed activist protests that spanned the country and mobilized sectors from artists to workers to community groups.… Read more

The “two-state” solution is a vehicle for normalization! It’s past time to call out the PA!

After 18 months of live-streamed genocide, after 18 months of useless Western “ceasefire” promises, we must be clear on the principles of genuine liberation. We must re-assess our tactics and be sure that our solidarity work is actually advancing the interests of the Palestinian people and working towards a future free of Zionist settler colonialism and US imperial meddling. 

For some time, we have stated that calling for recognition of THE state of Palestine means nothing more than endorsing Oslo, the corrupt PA and the bankrupt two-state solution.… Read more

All Out for Palestinian Prisoners Day


April 17 is Palestinian Prisoners’ day, a day when the people of Palestine call upon the world to commemorate and uplift their people, apprehended by the Zionist entity and the cowardly, comprador Palestinian Authority; many of these prisoners are leaders in Palestinian society and in the righteous resistance.

#IVotePalestine #IVoteAgainstGenocide 

We are close to halfway through this federal election, and Canadian political leaders have hit a new low in their pro-genocide politicking. Liberal leader Mark Carney and former foreign minister Melanie Joly are refusing to answer about the latest Canadian arms deal for Israel, despite their sham claim of halting arms exports; Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is revisiting the old refrain of “I’ll move our embassy to Jerusalem”; Yves-Francois Blanchet of the Bloc Quebecois is praising arch-Zionist Irwin Cotler who is supporting one of the BQ’s candidates; and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has dropped a PR person from his team because she dared (in past social media comments) to compare aspects of the Israeli genocide to Nazi fascism.… Read more

Demand to know where politicians stand – for justice or for genocide!

UPDATE #2: Those Complicit in Genocide will be held Accountable!

UPDATE #1: #IVotePalestine #IVoteAgainstGenocide

Our #IVotePalestine questionnaire* started in 2019 and continues this year, as an independent campaign committed to presenting the difficult issues that reflect the struggles and challenges of the Palestinian people. We do not believe that any single election in Canada will substantially change policy on Palestine, but we do see the educational value in bringing these issues to the public and highlighting the overwhelming Canadian complicity in genocide.… Read more

Land Day 2025

FREE THE PEOPLE, FREE THE LAND

Land Day 2025 was marked in Vancouver with great indigenous solidarity, a look back at protests for the original Land Day in 1976 and a spirited militant march through the downtown core.

Land Day has a special significance as it highlights Palestinian and indigenous attachment to the land, and the continuing Zionist land theft.

There is a long and proud history of marking Land Day.… Read more

The Delusionary Appeal of Electoral Politics

 Once again, a federal election is looming. And again, the same cycle will be repeated of many activists busying themselves with the allure of impacting politicians. We will be told that we must engage in this important work, even donate money for it, as it will be critical to advancing the cause of Palestine. But is it? And does all this “busy work” actually result in any substantial change? … Read more
