#ShutDownScotiabank

Join the campaign to force Scotiabank to complete
their divestment from Elbit and all other companies that support Israeli war crimes, occupation and the colonization of Palestine.

On October 2, activists across the Lower Mainland in BC disrupted business as usual for genocide-enabler Scotiabank and its global asset fund. Leading up to the week of action entitled RESISTING GENOCIDE: BOYCOTT FOR PALESTINIAN LIBERATION, protestors confirmed their resolve to not rest until Scotiabank and all complicit entities are forced to divest from genocide.

Who crafted Canada’s bogus “terrorist list”?

CPA Chair Hanna Kawas delves into Canada’s “terrorist list” and how the Zionist lobby was instrumental in having Palestinian and Lebanese resistance groups banned as such. Both the U.S. and Canadian governments are quick to remind us that they have designated these groups are “terrorist entities”, as they justify Israel’s extrajudicial assassinations that also murder hundreds (perhaps thousands) of civilians.
This presentation was part of the Right to Resist Meeting held May 8 in Vancouver, highlighting the repression globally and in Canada of pro-Palestine advocacy.
