Mark Carney has fully endorsed Donald Trump's bid to balkanize Iran on behalf of the genocidal Jewish supremacist state and a US empire that insists on ruling the world. Tens of thousands will likely be killed unless Iran can deliver a decisive blow to US and Israeli interests in the region. In a statement posted... Continue Reading →
Many self-described “Jewish” institutions should be considered crime scenes. They are gathering places for those who ought to be prosecuted under the War Crimes Act and are often places where young Canadians are illegally “induced” into joining a foreign military while flouting genocide statutes and charity law. A La Presse investigation published Thursday into... Continue Reading →
Some Montreal schools have long promoted genocidal Jewish supremacy. In a big step forward Quebec politicians are finally questioning why all taxpayers subsidize the illegal inducement of kids into a murderous foreign military. Thursday La Presse published an investigation detailing Israeli military involvement with two Montreal Jewish schools. Herzliah and Bialik schools have had... Continue Reading →
Why did Conservatives Dimitri Soudas, Barbara Kay and Lisa Macleod join Sid Ryan and Rachel Gilmore in defending an NDP icon? Nationalist imperial mythology spans the political spectrum. In “To break with imperialism, NDP must break with Layton legacy” I recently detailed Jack Layton’s warmongering. The former NDP leader supported two House of Commons resolutions...

The first leg of my Failure of Social Democracy tour was well attended and we intervened at the NDP debate. Now, can we pull off something similar at the party convention in Winnipeg? At The Failure of Social Democracy: NDP militarism and imperialism tour out west last week turnouts in Victoria, Powell River and Kelowna... Continue Reading →
Bravo to Avi. Shame on Lewis supporters who attacked me. Now let’s get him to say, “yes I agree with NDP members calling for Canada to withdraw from NATO”. On February 6, I began an article asking “Is Avi Lewis a war monger? Does he want to prolong the costliest proxy war in Canadian history?”... Continue Reading →
Jack Layton was a warmonger and Tommy Douglas was deeply anti-Palestinian. To end complicity in empire and Zionism NDP members need to hear the truth. In response to my recent article “To break with imperialism, NDP must break with Layton legacy”, Jimothy McGill posted “If you thought the NDP had no political instincts, may I... Continue Reading →
The NDP is once again supporting Canadian militarism. The party’s response to Carney’s Defence Industrial Strategy is stunningly disingenuous. This week Mark Carney announced the largest militarization of Canada in 75 years. The Liberals Defence Industrial Strategy will further militarize the economy, universities and government institutions in a bid to reach the NATO spending target... Continue Reading →
Avi Lewis isn’t responsible for the decades of anti-Palestinian activism, but his recounting of family lore shouldn’t lead some to believe the family most responsible for NDP anti-Palestinianism were “anti-Zionist”. Yesterday Keith Porteous of Island Grapevine News emailed me to complain about an article in which I (in passing) labelled grandfather David Lewis a “fanatic... Continue Reading →
Jack Layton was a warmonger and the veneration of the late NDP leader highlights the party’s militarist ethos. A few months ago, leadership candidate Heather McPherson declared, “Jack believed that hope could triumph over fear, that everyone deserves a seat at the table in the fight for something better. Standing at his statue in Toronto... Continue Reading →
A socialist review published an interview about “Reclaiming Socialism” in Canada’s NDP but ghosted a Socialist Caucus instigated campaign promoting a platform titled “Capitalism can’t be fixed — onwards to a socialist future”. The omission highlights the professional left’s hostility to an insurgent bid to expand the “Overton window” that launched with call for a... Continue Reading →
Yes, Avi Lewis is a “warmonger”. He’s more hawkish than Jean Chrétien on the NATO proxy war and has been silent on NDP militarism. I began a recent article asking “Is Avi Lewis a war monger? Does he want to prolong the costliest proxy war in Canadian history?” The piece detailed Lewis’ support for sending... Continue Reading →
I’m in BC next week to discuss the Failure of Social Democracy: NDP militarism and imperialism and protest the NDP leadership debate. Left supporters of Avi Lewis should back our ongoing push to challenge the NDP brass and capitalism. Two weeks ago, the NDP’s unelected three person vetting committee rejected Bianca Mugyenyi’s candidacy. Despite supporters... Continue Reading →
Does Avi Lewis support NATO? Now is the time for leftists to ask his position on the belligerent military alliance. On Monday BC NDP Premier David Eby said he wants a new NATO bank to be headquartered in Vancouver. A few weeks earlier former NDP MP and Toronto mayor Olivia Chow called for her city... Continue Reading →
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 →
Donald Trump has deployed a “massive armada” to target Iran. At the same Iranian Canadians who don’t tow the official line are hounded. Still, leftist media berates the small few who refuse to echo a lawless genocidal apartheid state’s bid to weaken, even balkanize, its main regional competitor. During a recent Power & Politics interview... Continue Reading →
Calls to empower the intelligence agencies, even turn the party’s keys over to them, demonstrates the power-serving, anti-leftist nature of segments of the NDP. “Is security clearance part of vetting the candidates”, noted the opening question of a recent NDP reddit chat. The subhead in the post noted, “After the PP [Pierre Poilievre] debacle, must... Continue Reading →
Is Avi Lewis a war monger? Does he want to prolong the costliest proxy war in Canadian history? His campaign’s response to a question on Ukraine suggests as much. Two months ago the Canadian Alliance for Solidarity with Ukraine asked NDP leadership candidates a series of questions including “their position on those on the left... Continue Reading →
No matter how many Israel kills, some self-described leftists continue to promote a supremacist colonial movement’s obvious ideological stick. But endorsing a unique form of Canadian assistance to a lawless supremacist state is anti-Palestinian. Yesterday the Liberals abolished the special envoy to promote genocide. As I detailed in a widely circulated post, the demise of... Continue Reading →
Doly Begum joining the Liberals exposes the No Difference Party. Coming days after the Ontario NDP deputy leader moderated a contentious federal leadership debate highlights how the party brass dedicates more energy excluding eco-socialists than ecocidal capitalists. Yesterday, Begum announced she would run for the Liberals federally in an upcoming Scarborough by-election. Losing a longstanding... Continue Reading →
