And realistically, what the fuck is the Canadian government going to do? Go to war with Israel and by extension the US?

Stop selling weapons to Israel, that would be a good start

Send more humanitarian aid to Palestine

Make it easier for Palestinian refugees to come to Canada

They could also stop abstaining from votes pertaining to Palestinian statehood. Start expanding our options for trade, be more aggressive with the "rule of law" with regards to our trade relations with the US.

There's a lot more that can be done than supplying the weapons and funding used to kill Palestinians. In fact doing nothing would be better

I distinctly remember the liberals in Canada promised electoral reform recently and then didn't implement it.

So I guess step 1 is keeping the promises you make to the people who voted for you.

That would be great, but what does it have to do with Israel/Palestine?

Canada is a big Israeli ally. They were one of the bigger weapon exporters to Israel ignoring the US.
