Harden highlighted that weapons sold and purchased by the Israeli delegation are used on Palestinian civilians, and criticized the federal Liberal government for their participation in the event, as well as their failure to close legal loopholes which can funnel arms to Israel. “Either we believe in these principles, or we don’t. This government is more focused on sales than values.”
Harden also expressed dismay at the Indian delegation’s presence. “The Indian government murdered a Canadian citizen in 2023. We should not be allowing them to purchase weapons in Canada.”
Key points for me.
Bonus:
When The Leveller attempted to speak to late-coming CANSEC attendees lined up at the station, officers escorted journalists away, saying the attendees “needed to do their jobs.”
Ever defending their bosses bosses friends.
