UPDATE: Petition to end all sanctions

The parliamentary petition to Trudeau to lift all sanctions now:

Our members have done a bang-up job promoting the online petition to just below 1000 signatures. But we are now upping the ante with a parliamentary petition that will be read in the House of Commons (if we can get 500 signatures by August 30) and require an answer either from Trudeau or Champagne.

Please also sign & share our brand new parliamentary petition to Justin Trudeau to lift all of Canada’s economic sanctions now! Read and sign the petition HERE.

 

In his March 23 letter to the leaders of the G20, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres declared, “I am encouraging the waiving of sanctions imposed on countries to ensure access to food, essential health supplies, and COVID-19 medical support. This is the time for solidarity not exclusion… Let us remember that we are only as strong as the weakest health system in our interconnected world.”
If we can get 500 signatures on the parliamentary petition before August 30, 2020, MP Scott Duvall will introduce the petition in the House of Commons. Please sign and share here:
