Trudeau quells strife on Israel-Hamas war’s drum,
NDP demands a stance, the Liberals remain mum.

A Liberal MP in private, did he dare,
To criticize Gaza policy, with a constituent to share.

Blair declares, with pomp and grandeur to relate,
$273M for Latvia’s defense, a sum truly great.

Canada’s defense, NATO warns to renew,
“Peace is fragile,” they say, “it’s never to eschew.”

In health, a partnership, Manitoba and Prime,
$633M pledged, a gesture sublime.

Greenpeace storms Freeland’s office, they clamor and holler,
For climate laws for banks, they won’t take a dollar.

CSIS voices concern, a movement with might,
“Anti-gender,” they say, poses violence in sight.

Poilievre speaks, with a promise, quite bold,
To slash foreign aid, NATO targets to hold.

Liberal’s plan for cybersecurity, under close eye,
Facing scrutiny, questions raised high.

LeBlanc, Public Safety Minister, can’t help but concede,
Worried about leaks, RCMP’s misdeed.

Canada’s EI system, unions and NDP frown,
Unfair to new parents, they want it to go down.

MPs under guard, as security does tight,
Safety concerns rise, casting a fright.

Justice Minister’s vehicle, a target of theft,
Access cards and keys, a concern that’s bereft.

MPs jetting off, with foreign groups to mingle,
Spending on travel, a contentious jingle.

Nasser hospital, amidst Israel’s raid,
In catastrophic state, as fears do cascade.

Rafah, a refuge, now feels like a cell,
Palestinians trapped, in the midst of a hell.

Hezbollah fires, from Lebanon’s domain,
Rockets at Israel, igniting disdain.

France and Ukraine, in Paris they’ll convene,
Signing security pacts, a diplomatic scene.

Britain and Poland, plea in Congress’s hall,
For vital aid to Ukraine, they earnestly call.

Trump, with his words, a curious song,
Mixing up names, claims he’s never wrong.

Biden or Trump? Putin’s preference disclosed,
In the game of geopolitics, his stance duly exposed.

Putin urges Russians, with a plea to ignite,
More kids, for ethnic survival, to fight.

Kansas City shooting, a private affair,
Police chief asserts, no widespread scare.

Greek parliament ponders, in Christian terrain,
Legalizing same-sex unions, a progressive gain.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
