At least someone in the Canadian government is paying attention. Also, we should be flooding Rob Oliphant's office with emails and letters of support, he's likely going to experience backlash over being so frank.

"The Liberal MP said on the call that his role as parliamentary secretary means he is "not able to be as public as some of my colleagues are.

"I've come many times thinking, 'Do I quit that job? Do I just go back to being an MP?'"

He said a staffer persuaded him to stay on "because there needs to be a voice on the inside, not just on the outside."

But Oliphant also warned on the call that the government's approach to the conflict, and that of its western allies, will have dangerous consequences.

"My fear is that the Global South will absolutely rebel and raise arms, maybe literally, because we have not listened," he said."
