"All three major federal parties in Canada need to be sent a loud and clear message that Palestinians and their supporters will not be censored and Palestinian rights will not be trampled on so easily. We must all show that there is zero tolerance for hypocrisy and complicity with Israeli war crimes!"

Canadian governments have a long history of complicity in Palestinian dispossession. As early as 1947, Lester B. Pearson, then Under Secretary of State for External Affairs and future Canadian Prime Minister, played a key role in drafting and passing the United Nations Partition Plan, so much so that Zionist groups dubbed him the “Balfour of Canada”.

Successive governments have carried on this tradition of one-sided support, although often under the pretense of “peacekeeping” and being a “honest broker”. Fast forward to...

A crucial election for health care

NationBuilder r1

Dear Paov,

This weekend, Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the federal election. Now, we have 11 weeks to make better public health care a priority for Canada's next government.

Will you vote for health care this election?

If enough people pledge to vote for health care, we can push the federal parties to commit to strengthening the care that is accessible to everyone.

Click here to sign the BC Health Coalition Vote Pledge

Signing the pledge means you'll get more information about where the parties stand on health care. After the parties release their platforms, we’ll send you an election guide showing the party positions on key health care issues. Then, we’ll encourage everyone who’s signed the pledge to get to the polls and vote.
