Liberal Leader Mark Carney clarified a remark he made on Tuesday suggesting he agreed with the allegation that Israel's military action in Gaza qualifies as a genocide.
While at a rally in Calgary, someone in the crowd — who did not appear on camera — shouted: "Mr. Carney, there's a genocide in Palestine!" as the Liberal leader was getting settled on the stage.
Carney replied: "I'm aware. That's why we have an arms embargo," before Liberal supporters drowned out the questioner by chanting the Liberal leader's name.
Asked the following day to provide clarity on his response, Carney said he did not hear the word "genocide" and was just "stating a fact in terms of the arms restrictions."
"It's noisy. If you're up there you hear snippets of what people say and I heard Gaza, and my point was I'm aware of the situation in Gaza," he said.
"Canada does … have restrictions, probably from January 2024, on arms exports, or permits for arms exports to Israel with the sole exception of the Iron Dome which protects them more broadly."

Leftists have been screaming genocide for decades yet the Palestinian population has more than doubled since 1995 from 2.5 million to 5.1 million while the Israeli population has gone from 5.5 million to 9.7 million. Gee, why hasn’t that doubled?
Last I looked the betting market was all Carney. I think Canadian were just looking for a reason to keep labor in power and they think Trump gave them one. If they elect Carney they will regret it within days.
If the Canadians are THAT easy to manipulate, really there's not much to be said.
Carney is Canada’s replacement vllage idiot.......Trudeau 2.0
Anyone in Canada who votes for the Liberals after the 10 years of Trudeau destruction is an idiot.
Think about it. Back in 2015 the Canadian economy was booming under Harper, oil pipelines were planned, roads for them cut into the forests . The Canadian dollar at its highest was worth $1.05 US.
Now after 10 years of Trudeau printing money for reconciliation and social programs while hobbling the energy sector in Canada, the Canadian dollar is devalued fatally, worth about 63 cents US on a good day.Canada is a nation in decline.
What a laugh. If Canadians cannot figure that out and vote Conservative and bring Poilievre as PM, then Canada is doomed to become a third world country, instead of participating in America’s Golden Age as a trustworthy partner.
Well said!
Cheers from sunny Florida!
They are the world’s underachiever for a reason.
