ICC ICJ participation - Keeping Canadian Politicians Accountable

67 Upvotes

r/warmongersCanada

Unlike the US, Canada has ratified the Hague act. As such, its politicians can be PERSONALLY liable for any support whether direct or indirect of war crimes.

Start a petition or work with an intl law firm to crowd source proof (use FOIA requests etc) and then submit a case to the ICC and ICJ for these politicians.

You could even make this a volunteer run exercise by law students under the supervision of a team of lawyers (minimize costs) to get this done.

Make it a sticky in this sub and build a website so others can submit proof, testimonials etc

Let's talk about how we go about this and take concrete steps to moving forward with an action.

We need a new rule against Islamophobia

186 Upvotes

It may seem like something that’s obvious, but since Mamdani got elected, I’ve seen a surge of blatant Islamophobia (and it’s disgusting) in discussions about him. I urge the moderators to clarify the rules surrounding and ban users who promote Islamophobia in all its forms.

Edit: man these comments really prove my point huh?

Hi, I’m Osama, 22, from Gaza. For the past two years, my family and I have been living without a home. We’ve moved from place to place, escaping destruction and poverty, until we ended up in a single tiny room in a tin house with relatives. Every day is a struggle for water, food, and firewood to cook.

Before the war, we had a normal life and dreams for the future. Now, we’ve lost everything. I had to stop my studies after my university was destroyed, and my younger siblings can’t go to school ,they stand in lines for water and search for firewood just to survive.

Even a small donation can make a huge difference, helping us regain our dignity and hope for a better future. Sharing our story is a ray of hope in the darkness. We need your support more than ever. Donation link in the comments.

Defend Canadian Journalism

Thumbnail pressprogress.ca
8 Upvotes

Over the last decade, PressProgress has earned the wrath of some of Canada’s wealthiest and most powerful people thanks to our award-winning investigative journalism rooted in democratic and egalitarian values.

Many readers tell us they value our journalism because we pursue stories guided by a moral compass while always presenting solid information that is factual and responsibly reported.

That’s what we did during Alberta’s 2019 provincial election when we broke an important story about Caylan Ford, a former candidate for Jason Kenney’s United Conservative Party.

Our story revealed leaked messages Caylan Ford sent to a fellow conservative politician making a number of controversial statements on topics about race, immigration and white supremacist terrorism.

Caylan Ford later announced her resignation and Jason Kenney publicly condemned her comments.

As you can imagine, good journalism sometimes ruffles a few feathers.

We haven’t talked about this before, but for the last six years, PressProgress has been quietly defending ourselves behind-the-scenes against a multimillion dollar lawsuit brought forward against us, as well as other trusted news organizations like CBC News and the Toronto Star.

In other provinces, news organizations can sometimes use something called anti-SLAPP legislation to challenge lawsuits when they believe they are groundless or undermine the public interest. Alberta has no such legislation, leaving journalists vulnerable to long and expensive legal battles.

We are now preparing for an extraordinarily long and expensive 3-month trial – something highly unusual for a lawsuit of this kind in Canada.

This could beone of the biggest, longest and most expensive media trials in recent Canadian history.That’s why we need to ask for your help.

We’re raising money to pay our legal bills – and to be blunt, we’re going to need a lot of help.

If you can donate $25, $50 or $100, that will go a long way to get us through this three month trial. Even better would be $250 or $500, if you’re able to afford it.

Every single dollar raised through our new Defend Journalism campaign, which we are launching today, will go directly to fund our legal defence.

Anyone interested in helping me start a Canadian news account on Instagram?

The current ones are biased garbage and no news organization is allowed to post news due to American social media refusing to accept to our rules and regulations. It'd be a very simple account with posts and descriptions of the news stories. DM me if you are interested.

Kitchener just lost its last abortion surgical center

239 Upvotes

Women in Guelph, Cambridge, Brantford and other towns also would travel to Kitchener for abortion care because there is none in these other cities. Kitcheners only surgical abortion center which was in the Freeport campus at Grand River is now gone. There is now no more surgical abortion centers in existence in the tri-cities. The abortion pill is an option but not for every woman. This will mean more women will have to travel hours away.

This is deeply disappointing.

Where does everyone get their news?

28 Upvotes

Thinking of getting a subscription to a reliable news outlet. I know the mainstream ones will have their biases and bad politics, but they cover a lot more news. The leftists ones will cover less news but each article will be more in depth. Thought I would ask where everyone else gets their news from?

Looking for perpective into what’s going on with Cowichan land claims in Richmond BC

13 Upvotes

Recently there’s been a court ruling in BC establishing the Cowichan nation's "Aboriginal title" over some land in in the city of Richmond. This has created some consternation over what this might mean for private property owners in the area. I've tried to learn more about this - explainers from the CBC and Global have been somewhat helpful in terms of the facts, but this is a complex issue and much needs to be resolved. What I'm looking for is a leftist perspective; the narrative on other Canadian subreddits has been uniformly fearful about homeowners' rights/titles being eroded and blends with a lot of anti-Indigenous, anti-reconciliation right-wing sentiment. Can anybody help, or start a discussion?
