2026/08/13

A new report challenges the Canadian Human Rights Museum’s Nakba exhibit, arguing it omits critical context by focusing narrowly on Palestinian displacement while sidelining the experiences of 800,000 Jewish refugees displaced in 1948.

Canada’s new $25 billion national fund, led by PM Mark Carney, is sparking alarm as it’s set up to be financed by debt—not savings.

The UK fund, designed for political goals over profits, is now dubbed the “National Waste Fund.” Without Norway-style safeguards, Canada risks squandering its resource wealth on risky bets.
