In Canada, glorifying violence is not allowed. Exporting violence with arms sales to Saudi Arabia and Israel is perfectly okay.
The glorification of violence is never acceptable in Canada – by any group or in any situation. I strongly condemn the demonstrations that have taken place, and are taking place, across the country in support of Hamas’ attacks on Israel. Let’s stand united against acts of terror.
