For fuck sake, suing the Canadian government for failing to prevent a genocide in Gaza? This is the kind of bullshit that got Trump elected in the US. Downvote me all you want. I'm telling you, this shit doesn't fly with the average person.

I guess you can't read? "complicity in Gaza genocide" NOT "prevent". BIG DIFFERENCE. Let me guess, you're one of those who thinks China is paying for the tariffs right? It's too complicated for you.

Sorry, who can't read, lol? The very first paragraph of the linked article says:

"A coalition of Canadian legal rights groups has launched a landmark lawsuit against the federal government, charging it with failing to prevent genocide in Gaza and violating its obligations under the 1948 Genocide Convention."

Dude, you must be so embarrassed. You should try reading articles before you post them, and certainly before you criticize someone who actually did read the artcile. At least read the first paragraph, FFS. Unless you are just trying to rack up virtue-signalling points, I guess. Then only the headline matters.

The average person in the US and Canada think genocide is okay as long as it happens to someone else. They're not really people anymore, they're cautionary tales for surviving humans on how to prevent monsters from forming.
