Genocide is a war crime, why does Canada still have ANY relationship with a war crime committing state? Canada’s obligation under international law is to oppose genocide, not enable it.

The big thing that needs to come out of this fuckup is just a postmortem on how their lobbying worked so well, for such a long time. Western genocides were supposed to stay in the 20th century.
The Holocaust is probably a major part of it. Evangelical mysticism fits in there somehow too.
