451·15 days agoCanada has been overtly and covertly supporting U.S. funded Israeli genocide in Palestine forever, international law be damned. Supporting an illegal war is nothing new OR surprising.
Every war is a bankers war, Carney is above all else a banker, so of course he is going to support this illegal war.
So much for respect of international law.

Boycott US@lemmy.ca•Danish shoppers 'vote with their wallets' as they boycott US productsEnglish
2·1 month agoI saw fascism rising in the Fourth Reich since Nixon got elected, and moved to Canada 15 years ago. Never regretted it (except the cold, snow, and lack of good, inexpensive Mexican food). Still prefer all that to fucking Nazis terrorizing my community and abducting or summarily executing my neighbors. I still have friends and family down there that I worry about.
I wish you the best of luck comrade, I fear it is going to get worse before it gets even worse.

Evangelo Sipsas in Copenhagen 02:44
Grocery shopping is at the center of an unusual new protest. In one Copenhagen supermarket, shoppers whip out their phones, scan barcodes and decide: into the trolley or back on the shelf.
The new weapon of choice? An app called Made O’Meter — a ‘who-owns-what’ detector that reveals the company behind the label. It’s taking off as anger flares over renewed talk from US President Donald Trump about acquiring Greenland, the territory in Denmark’s realm.
For users like Cecilia Estrada, the scan is more than a price check, it’s a protest.
‘Choose what you support’
“Voting with your wallet is a powerful tool as an individual,” she says. “You can actually choose what you support.”
Estrada says she’s long believed in boycotts, calling them “a weapon” and “a political means.” Now, she’s using the app to avoid products linked to US-owned brands, and she’s not alone.
Made O’Meter’s founder, Ian Rosenfeld, says the idea is simple: transparency.
“It helps users find out who actually owns a brand or product so they can make informed decisions,” he explains.
He says the surge in interest reflects a deeper mood.
“When a friend like the US starts treating you badly, people feel frustrated and powerless,” Rosenfeld adds. “This is one way to do something.”
Not everyone is convinced the boycott will pack an economic punch. Economists note Denmark imports relatively little food directly from the United States, meaning the hit to American exports could be modest.
But supporters argue this isn’t just about dollars and cents but about turning outrage into action, even if it’s quiet and personal.
A sense of betrayal
Author and journalist David Trotz describes a sense of betrayal in a country that has historically viewed America as an ally.
“Suddenly you’re in a situation where the country you admired is pushing you aside,” he says. “And you decide: what can I do? One thing I can do is boycott American products.”
The backlash isn’t only happening on screens. In recent weeks, protests in Denmark and Greenland have pushed back against US attempts to claim the island, and shoppers say the supermarket aisle is becoming another frontline.
Back in the store, Estrada’s phone buzzes with ownership details. One more scan. One more choice. And at the checkout, a message that doesn’t need a megaphone: in Denmark, even the contents of a shopping basket can vote.
