🇨🇦 Eleven Canadians Detained Running Israel's Gaza Blockade — Ottawa Claims It Had No Idea

Israeli forces fired on and seized vessels carrying aid to Gaza, detaining at least 11 Canadian citizens who deliberately sailed from Turkey to breach a military blockade. Global Affairs Canada now claims it had no clue Canadians were involved. Either our intelligence apparatus is asleep at the wheel or Ottawa is lying through its teeth. Citizens sailing into active conflict zones on politicized aid missions don't just slip through the cracks — unless someone wasn't watching or didn't want to.

This is the third attempted breach by this flotilla. These aren't accidental tourists — they're activists knowingly inserting themselves into a war zone to grandstand against an ally. Where's the passport revocation? The stern condemnation? The basic expectation that Canadians won't freelance foreign policy? Instead we get the usual limp monitoring and hand-wringing while Ottawa pretends sovereignty and citizenship still mean something.
