An online petition urging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to demand an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas closed Thursday with a record-setting 286,719 signatures — the most of any parliamentary e-petition since they began in 2015.
Initiated by Montréal resident Maëva Gaudrault and sponsored by Quebec NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice, the petition also calls on the prime minister to ask Israel to lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip and to urge Israel to meet its commitments under the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law.
Sure thing. The world’s gonna stop turning because Junior demands it.
