Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME:
Breaking: @MarkJCarney’s government just voted against Bill C-233, which would have stopped the flow of weapons to Israel via the United States loophole. Canada has chosen to protect those profiting from genocide. We will not forget how MPs voted in this urgent moment.
This government may have voted down the bill, but they cannot put the issue back in the shadows.
MPs are now on the record. Carney has now picked a side. Canadians now know the truth about Canada’s arms exports and complicity in war crimes.

The Epstein class is age old Christian hegemony.
Stop letting it hide behind trendy names.
@mundanemun:
@karinagould what happened to democracy and supporting peace by using your position of authority to deny those committing a genocide the ability to carry it out any further? you need to drop from the liberal party already and say you’re compromised.
@Poetic_All:
Only cowards abstain when the vote is to comply with human rights and international laws
@R3zion:
Well, at least we’re clear on who isn’t owned by Israeli lobby yet.
@mandog777099:
Just 22?
Shameful the Zionist infiltration of our government and opposition.
This must not stand.
@rilste:
So no conservatives or bloq voted yea at all?
They’re racists fuckers like Carney is. Zionism = Racism.
@Grimpster:
@MarkJCarney can take his Davos speech and pragmatism and shove both as far up his backside as HUMANLY POSSIBLE!
WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY, Mark — You are OFFICIALLYA AIDING AND ABETTING a WAR CRIMINAL!!
Of course Nazi Harper Carney is, but, he, his Brookfield and other rich fucker pals are making juicy profits. PS Carney showed his preference for genocide and Zionism before last year’s election. And, since then, is shoving horrific rights violating bills down our throats to criminalize pro peace protests and protect genocide and Zionism, and hand over all our private personal details to fucking Nazi USA. He’s not a liberal, he’s a Harper Con, a traitor to Canada, much more to the right than Pee Pee is, although their parties are the same, hideous Harperites.
@animated89:
Canada is Israeli occupied territories.
@tammym2005:
I will NEVER forget that this Liberal government voted against this. … They’re bombing tents in Gaza at this moment. BOMBING CHILDREN IN COLD TENTS WITH NO PLACE TO FLEE. UNFORGIVABLE. Don’t you dare ask for my vote again.
@amanhamaisha:
@MarkJCarney is a hypocrite and supporter of the genocide in Ghazza by the terrorist state of Israel. Please makevpublic of sll those who supported the resolution so that we can remember.
@Jophus62:
Complicity in genocide.
Shame on Canada.
@ClaytonBurnsPhD:
Mark Carney is now declaring open corruption as Canada’s future.
From pragmatism to realism to realpolitik to principled pragmatism—it is all a hoax.
Carney has done nothing about support for ICE within Canada—in particular by Thomson Reuters.
The USA is developing infrastructure intending to set loose ICE on the BC Lower Mainland and Toronto.
That is in the ultimate planning. David Thomson is a collaborator.

Shame on #JeffreyEpstein clients
@melanie_needham:
Canada is complicit in genocide & war crimes. I will not forgive, I will not forget! Shame on Canada!
@LucieSinclair1:
I’m not happy about this, we should not be assisting in any way the genocide that is taking place in Palestine!
@marciemyson:
Absolutely disgusting
@ARG23309268:
ZionaziCollaborators Same old brainwashed Apartheid Israel shills! Not surprising since we found out Carneys connection to the Epstein files. Seems like big money, no matter where it comes from, is the motivation for this government
@JohnKittridge:
Shameful. There’s pragmatism and there’s complicity in pure fucking evil.
@RahehalTV:
CARNEY AS I TOLD BEFORE AND U DID NOT LISTEN HE IS A BANKER FROM ZIONIST SPECTRUM SERVING ISRAEL INTERST NOT CANADIAN .
@EgWazna:
So very disappointing, after all the civic action for this bill. This was an opportunity for the liberals to stop complicity in genocide, without a direct confrontation with the US, if that’s what they were worried about. We will not forget!
@MarxistBunch:
they are now on record as supporters of criminal genocide which makes them war criminals
@pezz65848:
This is so tragic. The Liberal Party of Canada has fallen to Zionists. It’s now no better than Trumpers.
@AhimsaAddiction:
CANADA, you’re supposed to be better than us Americans.
@NotInMyPublicS1:
FFS carney?!!! What ca we expect from a Rothschild banker! Keep feeding the Zionist funds! This time with OUR money! Shameful! #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

Keeping arms loopholes open to Isrsel is notctge the best route to a 2 state soln of Israel @Palestine_UN that @MarkJCarney pledged to support while genocide is ongoing in Gaza andxannexation in West Bank.

Carney government chooses Trump and arming genocide over international law as Liberals vote down ‘No More Loopholes’ Act Press Release by Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME), Mar 11, 2026
Ottawa, March 11, 2026 – The Arms Embargo Now Coalition condemns the Liberal government today after the House of Commons voted down Bill C-233, the No More Loopholes Act, legislation that would have closed a major loophole that allows Canadian military exports to reach Israel through the United States without permits, oversight, or human-rights review.
The vote represents a decisive political choice by the Carney government to maintain Canada’s role in supplying weapons through U.S. military supply chains, even as Israel continues its assault on Gaza and the United States and Israel expand their war across the region.
“This vote was a litmus test,” said Rachel Small, Canada lead with World Beyond War and a spokesperson for the Arms Embargo Now campaign.
“The Carney government had a clear opportunity to align Canadian arms exports with international law and human rights. Instead, it chose to align itself with Trump and to preserve the loophole that allows Canadian weapons and explosives to flow into U.S. supply chains fueling Israel’s wars.”
Bill C-233 would have required Canadian military exports to the United States to undergo the same permit requirements and human-rights risk assessments applied to exports to other countries.
The loophole has allowed Canadian weapons components and explosives to move into U.S. weapons manufacturing systems and ultimately into Israeli military operations. In addition, Canadian armoured vehicles have also been witnessed in use by ICE in their deadly operations in Minneapolis, Canadian sensors have been documented being used in the US’ attack on Venezuela, and millions of dollars worth of Canadian parts were used to produce every single F-35 fighter jet used in the US and Israel’s bombing of Iran.
“The government has chosen the side of militarism and war profiteering. The side of Lockheed Martin and the arms industry. The side of Trump and Netanyahu’s expanding wars,” Small added.
Grassroots Organizing Fractures Liberal Caucus
Despite the defeat of the bill, a significant political breakthrough: 15 Liberal MPs broke ranks with their leadership and voted in favour of the legislation following months of organizing across the country, while dozens more abstained instead of voting with Carney.
Thousands of Canadians participated in the campaign to close the U.S. loophole, organizing:
- mass email and phone campaigns to MPs
- community canvassing and outreach
- coordinated protests at MP offices
- direct meetings with elected officials
- coordinated media advocacy exposing Canada’s arms exports
This pressure forced the issue into the national spotlight and compelled MPs to publicly take a position.
“For months, communities across the country organized tirelessly to expose Canada’s complicity in war crimes and force their representatives to pick a side,” Boutaïna Chafi, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement said. “Because of that organizing, many MPs broke ranks with their own government to support this bill.”
Evidence of Canada’s Role in the Weapons Supply Chain
The vote took place amid mounting evidence that Canadian weapons components and explosives continue to reach Israel through U.S. military supply chains.
Recent investigative reporting and movement research have documented:
- Canadian components used in F-35 fighter jets deployed by Israel
- Canadian explosives used in U.S. weapons manufacturing plants producing bombs and artillery shells exported to Israel
- That a government agency had itself investigated the risk of Canadian military exports being incorporated into American weapons used by Israel
- That a key Liberal minister was informed of this diversion
These findings directly contradict repeated government claims that Canada had already halted arms transfers to Israel and that Bill C-233 was thus unnecessary.
“The reality is simple,” Chafi said. “Canada never actually stopped arming Israel. The government simply relied on a loophole that allows weapons to transit through the United States without oversight. They chose industry and profit over the concerns of the majority of Canadians who elected them.”
A Vote That Defines the Carney Government
The coalition said the defeat of Bill C-233 signals a broader shift in Canadian policy under the new government.
“Mark Carney has made clear that his vision for Canada is one of deeper integration into the U.S. war economy,” said Yara Shoufani, President of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East. “From expanding Canadian military production, to record breaking defence spending on American weapon systems, to aligning Canada’s foreign policy with Washington’s escalating wars, this government is entrenching Canada further inside the U.S. military-industrial complex.”
Advocates say the vote confirms that the government has chosen to prioritize the profits of arms manufacturers and the military interests of Trump and Netanyahu over international law and human rights.
A Movement That Is Not Going Away
The defeat of the bill does not mark the end of the campaign to end Canada’s complicity in Israel’s war.
“The fight to change Canadian law in order to close the U.S. loophole was one tactic in a broader movement to end Canada’s role in arming and supporting Israel’s genocide,” Small said. “Arms Embargo Now is not a momentary campaign. It is a growing movement rooted in grassroots organizing across the country.”
The Arms Embargo Now campaign has already succeeded in exposing Canada’s arms export regime and forcing public debate over the country’s role in global militarism.
“This government may have voted down the bill, but they cannot put the issue back in the shadows,” said Shoufani. “MPs are now on the record. Carney has now picked a side. Canadians now know the truth about Canada’s arms exports and complicity in war crimes.”
The fight for a real, two-way arms embargo on Israel continues.
