  1. Summary:

    Canada isn’t paying to be on it, Carney will make a final decision on whether to join once the terms and conditions are actually clear. 

    What I THINK might’ve happened is Carney said a tentative yes when it was pitched as being solely about Gaza, and is trying to walk that back now that it’s turning out to be a total mess

    Macron just did the right thing with respect to Trump’s offer to be on the Board and Carney should do the same: “Thanks but no thanks “. For multiple reasons: the $1-billion fee; Putin also offered membership; Trump self-declared Board chair with a veto on everything; clear attempt to circumvent the role of the UN; etc. Canada should 100% refuse to play in this.

    Trump also invited Valdimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko to serve on this board. No Canadian worth his salt, and certainly not the PM, should go anywhere near this ridiculous board.

    If my government spends a single cent of my tax money to pay a billion grift dollars directly into the bank account of the man who is threatening us with annexation, I will lose my shit, lol

  5. Good, I don’t want our country having any representation with this illicit group of war criminals and plutocrats. Having these monsters in charge of reconciliation is a tragedy, having no representation for Palestinians is a farce.
