The Council of State in Belgium voted on Friday to cancel export licences to Saudi Arabia following reports that showed Riyadh‘s use of Belgian arms & technology in attacks on Yemen. When will Justin Trudeau follow this lead? #YUDivest #YorkU #Yemen middleeastmonitor.com/20190615-belgi…

The UK government should accept today’s court ruling that arms sales to Saudi Arabia are unlawful because of their use against civilians in Yemen. UK advice, assistance and arms supplies to Saudi's war in Yemen is a moral stain on our country. Arms sales to Saudi must stop now.

Today, at an event in Montreal celebrating #Quebec’s #FeteNationale, I told Justin Trudeau that Canada’s arms sales to Saudi mass murderers renders him complicit in a genocide in Yemen. #cdnpoli @justintrudeau #yemen #YemenCantWait #CrimesAgainstHumanity @canadafp #SaudiArabia

Today the UN rapporteur on extrajudicial executions said the savage murder of #JamalKhashoggi was premeditated. She implicated the monstrous #Saudi autocracy in the murder. That's one more reason why @justintrudeau should be heckled relentlessly for selling arms to #SaudiArabia.

Canada’s foreign policy has long been subservient to U.S. government foreign policy, but a declassified 2017 State Department memo confirms that Chrystia Freeland has taken the Trudeau government’s slavishness to a whole new level: thegrayzone.com/2019/07/05/can… Chrystia Freeland #cdnpoli

No sustainable future can be envisioned while academic institutions like @yorkuniversity are still funding war. If you care about the environment, end your investments in weapons. Rhonda L. Lenton #YorkU #YUDivest #StopArmingSaudi

While Justin Trudeau and Omar Alghabra insist on selling as many weapons as possible to Saudi Arabia, Nicki Minaj shows more moral courage and says no to a regime that is slaughtering and starving millions in Yemen. pitchfork.com/news/nicki-min…

#Yemen is still the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. US weapons are being used to kill Yemeni civilians. Demand that Congress put an end to US arms sales to Saudi Arabia! codepink.org/no_weapons_to_…

Very bold statement coming from someone who prioritizes profit made from arms sales to Saudi Arabia over the fate of Yemen, where tens of thousands of people have been killed. Stop talking about "advancing peace & justice" when you are contributing to a major war. #cdnpoli #YorkU

At today's anti-war protest at the US consulate in #Montreal, this Iranian-Canadian women talked of the recent death in #Iran of her father, who died of cancer. In Iranian hospitals, she saw that many gravely ill people lack essential medicines due to US sanctions. #NoWarOnIran

Your periodic reminder that the Pentagon is currently being led by a former top corporate lobbyist for a top weapons manufacturer.

Dear Rhonda L. Lenton York University - You have, for years profited off of the same state violence that has the world on edge today. For years you’ve thwarted efforts of YU Divest to get the school to divest from weapons manufacturers. Time to #YUDivest #NoWarOnIran
