On Saturday I bumped into a large march in support of Donald Trump, war and monarchy. Much of the Iranian diaspora in Canada has jumped headlong into the Zionist/US regime change campaign that could have an apocalyptic impact. Enroute to an anti-genocide demonstration at the Israeli consulate in Montreal, I joined several thousand members of... Continue Reading →
Zionist authoritarians run roughshod over Canadian liberties
Genocidal Jewish supremacists applauded the NDP vetting committee’s decision to exclude Bianca Mugyenyi from the leadership race. It’s just another example of Zionists celebrating and promoting authoritarianism. The secret unelected three-person vetting committee’s recent decision to exclude Mugyenyi’s candidacy has won praise from the most extreme Zionists. A day before posting “Make Gaza Jewish”, Meir...

Will NDP take our $133,000 and allow talk of imperialism in race?
The struggle against Canadian imperialism has taken various forms. On occasion it has included blockades, Molotovs and arms while a lively current battle is about paying the NDP $130,000. In Haiti, they’ve repeatedly burned tires in front of the Canadian embassy or chucked rocks and Molotov cocktails at it. In Ramallah, they’ve pelted the Canadian... 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...

Interesting who supports judge’s guilty verdict against me
A former director of the NDP is happy the police gained greater rights to criminalize email campaigns. In a sign of his anti-Palestinian power worshipping, Karl Bélanger justified my exclusion from the leadership race based on an odious judgement that my supporters emailing the police represented “harassment”. Yesterday, the president of the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation and... Continue Reading →
If my convictions stand, our right to political advocacy at risk
Friday a Quebec judge made a ruling that subverts the public’s right to petition state officials. In finding me guilty of three charges related to emailing the Montreal police, Karine Giguere established a terrible precedent. I’ll appeal. Judge Giguere found me guilty of obstruction of police work, harassment of a police officer and indecent communication.... Continue Reading →
Once again Liberals talk the talk — but where’s the walk?
Mark Carney is a ‘lying Liberal’, not a defender of international law, let alone an anti-imperialist. The prime minister’s speech in Davos reflects a long Liberal tradition of seeking to convince people to ‘judge what I say, not what I do’. At the World Economic Forum in Switzerland yesterday Carney gave a speech challenging Donald... Continue Reading →
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. The long-time leftist columnist cited the “Stalinist joie de vivre” driving the unelected three person vetting committee’s decision. In “Engler... Continue Reading →
Empire repeat? — Carney joins Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’
Canada is at it again, ignoring the wishes of the people affected and instead helping an imperial power. Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” for Gaza will be remembered as something similar to the Balfour Declaration in which London promised to create a Jewish home on Palestinian land. And just like that crass expression of British... Continue Reading →
CJPME, let Bianca debate as reply to pro-genocide bullies
Zionists want to shut down Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East’s NDP debate on Palestine. The best way for the advocacy organization to stand up to the bullies is to show solidarity with others who’ve faced similar attacks by genocide advocates. Last week CJPME announced they were hosting an online NDP leadership... Continue Reading →
Respectable ‘troublemakers’ are the ones destructive to Left
“Yves Engler is the most destructive person I’ve ever known on the left. Ok I’m saying that. The only time I’ve ever seen him in political practice is in disrupting a meeting or harassing a politician.” Judy Rebick “I like Heather [McPherson]” Judy Rebick As the climate crisis spirals out of control, few environmentalists...

Best help Canadian left can offer Iranians is to oppose war
Last year Israel bombed Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Qatar as well as the territorial waters of Tunisia, Malta and Greece. It’s now stoking violence in Iran and some “leftist” Canadians are helping set the stage for something even more horrible. On Tuesday NDP leadership candidate Heather McPherson posted a long statement boasting that she’s... Continue Reading →
Ashton’s push to subsidize Irvings bad for NDP, Canada
Is it pro-working class to subsidize billionaires? Do workers benefit from naval belligerence? NDP leadership candidate Rob Ashton supports giving huge subsidies to the most controversial capitalists in the Maritimes so the navy can fire long range missiles in US-led wars. On X and at an NDP debate in Toronto Saturday Ashton celebrated the Stephen... Continue Reading →
Left must challenge imperialism, not push Israel, US war
Leftists should challenge Canada’s role in Zionists bid to crush, even balkanize, Iran. They shouldn’t echo Israel, Tommy Robinson and others seeking war. NDP leadership candidates Heather McPherson and Avi Lewis, as well as many prominent leftists, have celebrated the protests in Iran. Anyone who believes in internationalism should tread carefully in boosting a movement... Continue Reading →
NDP’s long shameful history of blocking foreign policy debate
Will NDP arrest me for attending its debate? The NDP is going to great lengths to avoid anti-imperialism in the leadership race. After expelling me from the race largely based on my criticism of Canadian foreign policy, they are seeking to avoid my supporters by keeping a major debate secret, threatening to expel registrants and...

Does Canadian ruling class back Trump’s imperialism?
The CEO of Scotiabank has endorsed the “Donroe Doctrine”. Canadian capitalists have long supported US imperialism in the hemisphere but backing the murderous kidnapping of Venezuela’s president while Trump threatens to make Canada the 51st state seems almost well… treasonous. In a Globe and Mail Report on Business article headlined “Rising U.S. influence in Latin... Continue Reading →
Canuck capitalists drove hostility to Bolivarian governments
The CEO of Scotiabank has publicly backed Donald Trump’s violent kidnapping of Venezuela’s president. Like him, many top Canadian capitalists likely support the US’ flagrant violation of international law. In a Globe and Mail Report on Business article headlined “Rising U.S. influence in Latin America could benefit Scotiabank's growth plans, CEO says”, Scott Thomson celebrates... Continue Reading →
Canada has spent decades undermining Venezuelan democracy
As part of justifying Donald Trump’s crass imperial aggression in Venezuela Canadian officials have taken up the mantra of “democracy”. In one post on the weekend Mark Carney opined about “the democratic will of the Venezuelan people” while in a follow-up statement the prime minister boasted that “Canada has not recognised the illegitimate regime of...

Why does Carney support US imperial hubris?
Well, at least Mark Carney didn’t send troops. That may be a Haitian’s reaction to Canada’s support for the US kidnapping of Venezuela’s president. 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 →
NDP must offer alternative to Libs, Cons pro-US empire policies
Donald Trump’s naked imperial aggression in Venezuela highlights the need for anti-imperialism in the NDP leadership race. While Pierre Poilievre “congratulated” Trump for “successfully arresting narco-terrorist and socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro”, Mark Carney “welcomed” the US kidnapping and bombings that killed scores. Yesterday Carney began his statement on Venezuela by noting, “One of the first... Continue Reading →
