canadians please read, everyone else please reblog
on march 18th, parliament will debate the following motion put forth by the NDP:
source, it's pretty far down so you can just ctrl+F "palestine"
notably, this motion asks the canadian government to suspend all trade in military goods and technology with israel, reinstate UNRWA funding, increase the cap on palestinian refugees to canada and officially recognize the state of palestine, among other things.
i encourage all of you to contact your MP (member of parliament) and tell them you want them to support this motion.
to find your MP, go here and type in your postal code. you can then click on the member's name and find their contact info.
below the cut i am including a template you can use in an email or fax, but i encourage you to write your own version or alter it if you are able to do so. you should also contact your MP by phone if you can. if you get anxious about phone calls you can call after hours and leave a message.
