The Hill Times
Recently, Canadian social media has been brimming with powerful analogies. Many voices are drawing connections, arguing that those who stand with Ukraine should similarly stand with Palestine. This conversation points to what many perceive as a double standard in Canadian policy. The inconsistency in Canada’s foreign policy becomes even more apparent when juxtaposed against its approach towards First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities.
Under Pierre Trudeau’s leadership, Canada not only reaped benefits from investments in South Africa, but also indirectly bolstered apartheid by backing an IMF credit and inadequately enforcing an arms embargo. These historical political stances are mirrored in Canada's current unequivalent support for Israel, while undermining the Palestinian right to freedom and self-determination. Recent Canadian foreign policy decisions highlight a concerning double standard.
