Call your MP: take action on an arms embargo now
115 days ago MPs overwhelmingly voted to end Canada’s arms exports to Israel. They still haven’t done it.
Enough is enough. Call your MP demanding they take action on an arms embargo immediately.

Enough is enough. Call your MP demanding they take action on an arms embargo immediately.
Talking points:
- My name is [introduce yourself]. I’m a constituent of [your riding] and live on [your street name.]
- A recent Lancet article lays bare the full potential scale of destruction of Israel’s war on Gaza: 186,000 lives lost to this reckless and needless war.
- This is a heartbreaking and unfathomable number. I am deeply concerned that despite a motion passing in the House of Commons in support of an arms embargo in March, the Canadian government still hasn’t taken the action needed to cease the trade of weapons and military technology to Israel.
- As my MP I am asking you to not be complicit in the atrocities the Israeli government is committing against Palestinians.
- I am asking you to write to Foreign Minister Joly to demand she revoke all existing permits for military trade to Israel.
- I am also asking you to draw attention to the Lancet figures of 186,000 potential deaths from Israel’s war on Gaza in public alongside calls for an arms embargo, for example on your public social media channels and in Parliament.
