Canada is complicit in the destruction of Gaza. Our federal government provides contracts to companies that provide Israel with more destructive capability, e.g. Elbit systems. Also, the Canadian government has given a multi-billion contract to WSP, a Canadian multinational company headquartered in Montréal, for refurbishing the central block of the Parliament buildings. Its Israeli subsidiary is a principal contractor assisting the government of Israel with the extension of the Jerusalem Light Rail system (“JLR”). Since its inception, the JLR has been criticized as infrastructure that integrates the illegal Israeli settlements in occupied East Jerusalem into the territory of Israel.
What I would really like to see from the Canadian government is a strong backing of Palestinian statehood and an end to the Apartheid system in Isreal. We should not be supporting such inequality.

I wouldn't build where there's risk of another demolition. Maybe we should just insist that Israelis and Palestinians now swap territories.
