The media’s close ties to the military have long undermined democracy. Mark Carney’s extreme militarization of the economy is exacerbating the problem. Last week Canada’s ‘paper of record’ published a full-page ad headlined “THE GLOBE AND MAIL PRESENTS National Defence: Mapping Canada’s growth strategy.” The October 14 event includes Industry minister Mélanie Joly, Commander of...

The assassination threat must be condemned. But we also need Avi Lewis to stand up to the genocidal Jewish supremacist bullies. In “Jewish law tells us how to deal with Avi Lewis” Yoni Goldstein effectively calls for the leader of the NDP to be killed. In the National Post the former editor of the Canadian...

Canada’s most successful hate movement is also the country’s most aggressively authoritarian lobby. As Zionists promote deportations, Islamophobia, anti-Arabism and genocide in Palestine, their fascist character can’t be denied. Before speaking at Carleton University last Wednesday, I wandered about Parliament Hill questioning politicians about Trump’s threats against Iran (Marc Miller), whether NATO is a belligerent...

"Intellectual leader of the free world”, Mark Carney is returning Canada to its stature under Lester Pearson. The prime minister’s position on Iran highlights both the absurdity and appropriateness of the superlatives. According to former foreign affairs minister John Manley, Carney has emerged as the “intellectual leader of the free world.” In “At age 159,... Continue Reading →
Canada has long assisted the US bid to suffocate Cuba. And the roots of intelligence sharing undercut the idea of Ottawa standing up to US bullying. On Saturday the Globe and Mail confirmed that Canada has long spied on Cuba for the US. In “Canadians passed intelligence to U.S. at time of alleged attacks in... Continue Reading →
The scope of Carney’s support for the lawless genocidal Jewish supremacist state is stunning. In the last few days, his government granted Netanyahu access to Canadian skies, a Liberal MP was punished for voting against arms shipments and they labelled it racist to oppose this century’s leading racist movement. On Thursday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin... Continue Reading →
Considering the US president’s threats it would be “irresponsible” of Ottawa not to prepare for a US attack. But it’s far more “irresponsible” to boost an annexationist country’s military and belligerence if you were serious about the possibility of invasion. In a recent New York Times interview Prime Minister Carney said his government has examined... Continue Reading →
The meltdown over Alex Ovechkin advertising Vladimir Putin’s party is hypocritical. The National Hockey League and its players have long backed politicians responsible for war crimes. In Thursday’s Globe and Mail former NHL goalie Dominik Hasek and Marcus Kolga published a column calling on Ottawa to sanction the greatest goal scorer in hockey history. “Alexander...

About Iran, Mark Carney is a pathetic sycophant of Donald Trump. Remaining silent in the face of the US president’s genocidal threats is odious; justifying them is scandalous. On Tuesday the prime minister was asked (in French) if he thought Trump went too far when he says he is considering destroying Iran? Carney responded by... Continue Reading →
The hypocrisy is stunning. Those who link Judaism to Zionism are outraged a politician said Jews have “failed to do our part to stop an ongoing genocide committed in our name.” On Sunday NDP leader Avi Lewis posted, “Tonight Yom Kippur begins, the most sombre moment of the Jewish calendar. It’s a time of atonement... Continue Reading →
As Saudi Arabia launches hundreds of airstrikes on Yemen and Trump threatens to “annihilate” Iran, Ottawa is criticizing Ansar Allah. Yet the flagrant imperial double standard passes with nary a mention. Since breaking a four-year ceasefire by striking the Sanaa International Airport on July 13 Saudi Arabia has reportedly struck 760 targets in Yemen. According... Continue Reading →
Avi Lewis’s team is claiming credit for a mobilization it did not organize while close allies attack the activists who initiated it. But his team should get its story straight about the Confront Carney’s CEO Summit protest and think carefully about whether hostility toward independent, non-sectarian anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist organizing serves its broader aims....

No matter how many Palestinians, Lebanese or Iranians Israel kills some lefties will work with genocidal Jewish supremacist lobby organizations. On September 22 University of Manitoba Professor Sean Carleton and Niigaan Sinclair are scheduled to speak on their new book Truth Before Reconciliation: Confronting Residential School Denialism in a virtual forum organized by the Montreal...

Is it criminal to call on the Canada Revenue Agency to investigate registered charities violating the Income Tax Act? That seems to be the position of Unapologetically Jewish. On Wednesday, Matthew Taub of Unapologetically Jewish held a press conference on Parliament Hill to attack grassroots activist group Just Peace Advocates (JPA). The opening line in...

“Capitalism can’t be fixed, billionaires shouldn’t exist” was among the chants taken up by more than 2,000 protesters who marched on Marc Carney’s CEO Summit Monday night. The Carnival Against Capitalism was undoubtedly the largest anti-capitalist protest in Canada in many years. In dozens of articles, radio bits and video clips the dominant media covered...

Like Israel, Canadian Zionists will pulverize everything for their beloved supremacist state. The only way to defeat this type of bully is to match their intensity and seek to cripple their authoritarian institutions. Recently ten lawyers and the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation sent a letter to the Law Society of Ontario to call on them... Continue Reading →
Canadian policy in West Asia has suffered a blow and the only response emanating from Ottawa is to double down on hypocrisy. In recent days Ansar Allah (Houthis) have gained significant territory along the western coast of Yemen, taking complete control of the country’s Red Sea coastline. Ansar Allah has strengthened their claim to run... Continue Reading →
Canada’s hundred-year accord with Ukraine is rooted in nearly two centuries of overt hostility to Russia. In Calgary on Thursday Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “signed the 100 Year Partnership Declaration, setting out their intention to elevate the relationship between their countries into a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, and confirming their aligned...

Marc Carney has rapidly reshaped the public sphere to serve corporations. He is counting on next week’s CEO summit to boost his billionairist agenda. On Monday and Tuesday, the prime minister is convening the largest gathering of wealth holders in Canadian history. Around 300 capitalists in control of $120 trillion in assets will participate in...

Discussion of “antisemitism” in Toronto highlights Jewish communal power not oppression. It’s a justification for a lawless genocidal supremacist state. At a recent debate on “antisemitism” in Canada’s largest city mayoral candidate Brad Bradford declared, “Toronto is now in the race for being one of the most antisemitic cities in the world. That's not a just... Continue Reading →
