While Israel was breaking the ceasefire and resuming its massacre of the people of Gaza, it was recently discovered that the Liberal government signed a new deal to send arms to the Israeli army.
The deal was signed in September—just two weeks after Liberal minister Mélanie Joly publicly promised to halt all new arms contracts to Israel.
The contract, worth $78.8 million, involves selling explosives to the United States, which will then be used to make shells to be sent to Israel. The explosives will be manufactured in Valleyfield, Quebec, by General Dynamics.
Then, even after this deal was uncovered, Mark Carney himself repeated the lie. At a Liberal campaign event in April, someone from the crowd shouted: “There’s a genocide in Palestine!” Carney replied: “I’m aware. That’s why we have an arms embargo.” He later denied having heard the word “genocide,” but added that he was just “stating a fact in terms of the arms restrictions.”
This proves what everyone already knew: the Liberals cannot be trusted on Palestine, or on any of their promises for that matter.
