For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.

I don't think it'll happen considering who finances Soraya.
I'm a bit ignorant on Montreal municipal politics. Is there any info about who finances Soraya?
Thanks! That explains the following results:
The final version says city council “affirms its solidarity with the Palestinian people” and civilian victims of hostilities across the Middle East; reaffirms Montreal’s commitment to international law; and calls on Ottawa and Quebec to show “greater leadership” toward a peaceful resolution, including through diplomacy and sanctions against those responsible for serious violations of international human-rights law.
What a big load of hot air.
Nothing but shallow promises that will result in nothing.
Definitely made it very toothless and milquetoast. Only positive is a potential commitment to sanction those breaking international law. But that could be stretched out so much with "we're waiting on a UN ruling" bullshit.
The second a Palestinian toddler looks in the general direction of Israel: "WE STAND WITH ISRAEL AGAINST THIS PALESTINIAN AGGRESSION!"
Israeli soldiers kill a Palestinian toddler with several hundred bullets from a machine gun: "Let's wait for an investigation and see what the UN says."
Like the investigation into the killing of a Canadian Aid worker with World Central Kitchen
Exactly
