Demand Government Ensure Canadian Nickel Is Not Being Used in Israeli Weapons
The United States is the largest supplier of weapons to Israel and Canada is part of the manufacturing.
40% of the nickel consumed in US manufacturing originates in Canada.
The people of Canada do not want the natural resources of this land or the labour of our people contributing to this campaign of terror and mass murder.
Add your signature to demand an end to Canada’s complicity in the Genocide of Gaza.
There is a House of Commons petition demanding that the government ensure Canadian Nickel is not being used to manufacture arms that are killing people in Gaza.
This petition is sponsored by Charlie Angus, MP for Timmins—James Bay

Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
The State of Israel is carrying out a campaign of genocide against the people of Palestine through indiscriminate military actions against the civilian population, killing and maiming more than one hundred thousand people, and destroying the physical and social infrastructure of Gaza;
Many of the weapons used in this genocide are supplied to the State of Israel by the United States and other NATO Countries;
Nickel is an important raw material in the manufacture of these armaments;
Forty percent of the nickel consumed in US manufacturing originates in Canada;
The people of Canada do not want the natural resources of this land or the labour of our people contributing to this campaign of terror and mass murder;
The Government of Canada has banned new contracts for the sale of armaments to Israel; and
The Government of Canada can enact programs that promote the development of peaceful uses of nickel.
We, the undersigned, Citizens and Residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Institute a ban on the sale of nickel to Israel and to those armament manufacturers that supply Israel; and
2. Require purchasers of Canadian nickel to certify that they will not re-sell Canadian nickel to Israel or to arms manufacturers supplying Israel.
