When a ‘media critic’ becomes a shill for Israel

  Canadian media is so anti-Palestinian that a leading critic of the industry calls pointing out crass media bias “antisemitism”. In November longtime TV Ontario host Steven Paikin participated in a five-day Israeli government organized trip to that country. According to the Israeli consulate message to participants, they were among “a carefully chosen group of... Continue Reading →

Undermining other countries’ sovereignty is what we do

Mark Carney’s speech at the World Economic Forum was a masterclass of ‘judge what I say, not what I do’ spin. Within hours the government was already contradicting his most salient words. In Davos, Switzerland, last week Canada’s prime minister challenged Donald Trump, questioned the rules based international order and defended sovereignty. Carney declared, “Principled...

NDP leadership race vetting saga goes on and on

The NDP’s secret vetting committee is under the spotlight. Will they accept Bianca Mugyenyi’s candidacy or once again reject anti-imperialism? In Monday’s Toronto Star Rick Salutin slammed the NDP’s vetting committee’s exclusion of my candidacy.

On Saturday Carney “welcomed” the US presidential seizure and bombings that reportedly killed 80. In his opening paragraph the prime minister boasted that Canada had “sanctions on Nicolás Maduro’s brutally oppressive... Continue Reading →

Canada, who is next after Venezuela?

Early Saturday morning the US bombed several spots in Caracas and elsewhere in Venezuela. The US president says Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife have been “captured”. These clear acts of imperial aggression are designed to ratchet up pressure on the Venezuelan government to abandon power. As the situation plays out over the next... Continue Reading →

Hey Harley, tax-subsidized donations to Israel military bad

The president of one of Canada’s largest corporations says my asking a leading capitalist about donating to the Israeli military reflects “runaway hate”. Harley Finkelstein’s twisting of the truth would be amusing if it didn’t enable Palestinian suffering and attacks on Canadian civil liberties.
