There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.
But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.
Poilievre specifically rejects the legitimacy of the ICC charges against Netanyahu, on the specious grounds that Netanyahu was democratically elected.
Yes. The lobby is strong here.
The same things happening on campus. Anti Israeli gov speech is antisemitic by law and a criminal, punishable, offense (not sure if that bill passed yet).
But, yeah, I’m still surprised JT agreed to abide with the ICC warrant.
