Canada is complicit in Israel’s genocide in Palestine.
It always has been an active participant in the colonization of Palestine; and since October 2023 it has recommitted itself to supporting the Zionist State. This is not a surprise when considering Canada’s own existence as a settler colonial state that is committing an ongoing genocide against Indigenous Peoples here on Turtle Island. Canada is complicit in a myriad of ways. This page is meant to act as a resource and connection point for folks looking for research, advocacy opportunities, and actions. Much of this information is pulled from our analysis of Canada’s “risk of complicity” provided to Senator Woo in response to his open call for independent analyses on the subject. You can review the full letter here.
