Yesterday, a Declaration of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime against Humanity was voted at UNO. As usual, Israel and the USA voted against. How did your country vote? Any thoughts about it?

It's the sad reality of politics and agreements, simple wording can screw you over in ways you don't yet see. Id be very interested to see what difference among the gravest would make. I'd be very disappointed in Canada to abstain then. And curious if any supporters change their vote.

lol sure, it was the wording, no other reason Canada (the colonialist, imperial, white nation) would abstain on this vote.
