Canada’s legacy is on the line: defend the ban on landmines!

We are gathering messages to show PM Mark Carney and his delegation to Geneva that Canada needs to step up. With chaos and conflict on the rise we can’t afford to backslide on basic commitments like banning landmines. Public pressure matters – it also shows other leaders we’re watching. Post your message now and Avaaz and our partners will make sure top officials see it!

Canada once led the world in banning landmines to protect civilians -- but now, five countries are walking away from that promise, and Canada is silent.

We need a wave of public pressure to ensure Canada speaks up with a clear message -- PM Carney: stop landmines, defend the ban, and protect civilians before it’s too late.

In a few words, explain why stopping landmines from coming back is important to you. Add your message, and we’ll do the rest.

  • A personal touch goes a long way. Say why the issue matters to you.
  • Don’t be shy -- demand that leaders protect the landmine ban!
  • Offer insights, arguments, and inspiration
  • Don't give them an excuse to ignore your message - remember to be polite!
Why are these zombie bombs a problem?

👣 85% of landmine victims are civilians.
🧒 1 in 3 is a child.
🧨 These bombs stay deadly for decades.
💣 Landmines are not defence –they’re buried war crimes. 19th-century weapons that maim children in peacetime are indefensible.
📉 Dismantling the ban would be a barbaric step backwards -- reopening a chapter of indiscriminate, long-term civilian suffering
🕊️ They don’t belong in 2025 - Let’s take action for a mine-free future!
