In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion.

Unveiled in Ottawa on December 12, 2024, the $7.5 million Memorial to the Victims of Communism honors those who suffered under communist rule and celebrates Canada as a refuge.

The wall will now display thematic content, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, to focus on broader history without individual listings. The change highlights the tangled histories of Eastern European anti-communist fighters.
