In short, this looks like a re-run of a similar deal last year when Joly initially denied its existence, before admitting that she had to intervene to stop it.
It’s also clear that the Liberals are desperate for the genocide in Gaza not to be an election issue.

The Liberals Are Dodging Questions About A New Israeli Arms Contract
It’s unclear whether the Liberal government knew about the deal before it was reported by Project Ploughshares.

Well, Poilievre didn't remove Aaron Gunn from running in the North Island-Powell River riding, despite his residential school genocide denialism, gender pay gap denialism and other far-rightery. That guy will have designs on CPC leadership so it was a dumb move in many different ways #cdnpoli
This is the last day to remove a candidate for the election - after that, they appear on the ballot. Poilievre has 'til the end of the day to remove Aaron Gunn.
"Friendly"? I don't think so.

Favourite post.
For the #HandsOff , there were a group of seniors that couldn't make it to the Capitol.
So they held their very own! 57 of them came out!
Aged 67-104!
They all walked down to the main street! So proud of them!
They had s sign making day before the event!
They sent this video to me to share.🥰

Everyone believes they will be the exception. That chronic illness, homelessness or tragedy won’t befall them.
We can’t all be the exception. Life can change in an instant, and most will experience tragedy at some point in their lives.
We should all fight for better social supports & safety nets

In May 2021, with covid raging, Israel did a sick, twisted and genocidal thing: they blew up the house of Dr Ayman Abu al-Ouf who was leading the response to covid across Gaza City. They killed him and 12 family members including his parents, his wife, his teenage son and 12-year-old daughter

This is a concentration camp.
There is a concentration camp in my county.
The administration is in the process of deputizing & converting state & local “correctional” facilities into concentration camps as well.
The presence of concentration camps speaks largely about a society’s barbarity.

We knew in our hearts this had to be the case but had no proof. What I blame CMOH/Higgs for even more was not keeping us informed about numbers of cases. People stopped testing, stopped getting vaccines because they thought COVID was over. Higgs and Russell have deaths on their hands.
