We consider two more voices arguing for a negotiated end to the Ukraine war, assess Israel’s deadly spyware exports, consider more economic challenges and welcome some inspired Canadian leadership to reduce space threats.
Today we consider why ending the war in Ukraine is becoming more urgent and more difficult to achieve. We examine steps Canada must now take following Israel’s far-right election result and we highlight some good news on international efforts to curtail the harm to civilians from explosive weapons.
We call on Canada to put its actions where its rhetoric is by nullifying all provisions in its free trade agreement with Israel that do not accord with international law, and to defend the independence of the ICC from renewed US attacks.
