The RSF [Rapid Support Forces (RSF; Arabic: قوات الدعم السريع, romanized: Quwwāt ad-daʿm as-sarīʿ) are a Sudanese paramilitary force... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_Support_Force] is slaughtering civilians en masse in Sudan. The killing is so massive you can literally see the blood from space. "The Yale Humanitarian Research Lab released analysis of satellite images of el-Fasher the day after the RSF took the city. The images show clusters of objects consistent with the size of human bodies, surrounded by reddish colouration that could be pools of blood. The Sudan Doctors Network has also reported that RSF soldiers were executing anyone found inside of the city's hospitals, turning them into what it called "human slaughterhouses"." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-08/what-is-happening-in-sudan-who-is-fighting-and-why/105963190

"The RSF is not acting alone, but has the support of the United Arab Emirates, which the Sudanese government accused of complicity in genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in April 2025." https://www.middleeasteye.net/explainers/why-uae-involved-sudans-bloody-civil-war
The government of Canada tacitly condones this genocide. It could enforce an arms embargo. It doesn't.
It could break off diplomatic relations with the UAE. It hasn't.
Maybe we shouldn't be electing an investment banker for prime minister.
