ANGUS: On Genocide, Canada Doesn’t Get to Be a Bystander

Charlie Angus - The Resistance - September 22, 2025

EXCERPT: "Some lives matter. Some don't.

That is the only way I can make sense of the comments by David Lametti, Canada's new ambassador to the United Nations, in his refusal to recognize that a genocide is taking place in Gaza.

He says that Canada must wait until all the evidence is in – including the findings of the United Nations and the International Criminal Court.

Apparently, after we have had time to assess all the evidence, Canada will determine if Israel is guilty of the mass killings of Palestinian families. This is how Lametti explained his position to the CBC:

"This is certainly what we've done in other cases where a genocide has been recognized. There is an international body of authority that rules in that manner, and then Canada moves to recognize it. This is the position that Canada has taken for a number of years, and we think it's the right position."

It's a lie.

Within two months of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Canada's parliament unanimously recognized the attack as a form of genocide. Lametti was in the House of Commons then. His government voted to recognize genocide when the war was barely 70 days old. . . . . "
