It doesn’t matter how many crimes Israel commits, Zionist authoritarianism marches on. The bid to shut down my NDP leadership campaign, the barring of Kneecap from Canada and the Carney government’s new “hate” legislation highlight the staying power of Zionist authoritarianism two years into a live streamed holocaust. From the moment I announced my bid... Continue Reading →
Anglicans should apologize for their role in Zionist dispossession, not embolden genocidal fanatics. On Monday St. Paul’s Bloor St. Anglican church in Toronto succumbed to pressure from genocide lobbyists and cancelled the room for my NDP leadership event with Rabbi David Mivisair, student encampment organizer Sara Rasikh and former Canadian Union of Postal Workers president...

Amidst Israel’s live streamed holocaust, its advocates in this country can still get public events cancelled. And on the day a United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza and that top Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, incited these acts, Mark Carney is about to further empower genocide...

As most of world concludes Israel is a rogue terrorist state, Canadian media give prominent positions to Zionist activists. The appointment of Ben Mulroney to anchor Global New’s The West Block highlights the genocidal character of the media establishment. Yesterday Al Jazeera noted, “Israel has attacked six countries in the past 72 hours” while antiwar.com... Continue Reading →
Canada’s support for Israel’s live streamed holocaust is an indictment of the whole damn system. The upcoming Draw the Line protests are a step towards recognizing and challenging this reality, but we should go further, faster, as my campaign to lead the NDP is proposing. Two years into what has been deemed a genocide by... Continue Reading →
If more people, especially “liberals”, would have listened to the anti-Zionist appeals of a long ago Concordia Student Union (CSU) perhaps Canada wouldn’t be complicit in a live-streamed holocaust today. The National Post’s condemnation of the CSU’s 2025-26 handbook brought back memories of my time in student government. In “Concordia’s rabidly anti-Israel student union must... Continue Reading →
Challenging power is never easy and if you have success backlash is certain. But we won’t be deterred in our bid to oppose genocide, militarism and capitalism. Over 1000 NDP members, covering all the party’s regional, equity and age requirements, have signed my nomination form to participate in the leadership race. That’s twice the number... Continue Reading →
It’s time to draw a line. We need to derail Mark Carney’s militarist and capitalist agenda. On September 20, a coalition of more than 100 organizations are planning protests across the country to challenge Carney’s support for genocide, attacks on collective bargaining and sell-out to Donald Trump. Draw the Line’s website states: “We refuse to... Continue Reading →
Heather vs Avi. That’s how the liberal media and NDP brass would like to frame the leadership race but, unfortunately for them there’s an anti-genocide, anti-military and anti-US insurgent left campaign promoting economic democracy, degrowth and land back policies, which is already shaping the debate. In “Heather McPherson, Avi Lewis prepare NDP leadership bids”... Continue Reading →
Prime Minister Mark Carney has floated the notion of deploying Canadian troops to Ukraine. This would be mistake. Canadian soldiers should not be dispatched to that country. Instead, it’s time for Ottawa to change tack and promote a diplomatic resolution to the violent conflict. In Kyiv Sunday Carney said Canada would consider sending troops to... Continue Reading →
Recent events illustrate the geopolitics of political prisoners and are a lesson for us all about how the system favours certain ways of looking at the world. Marwan Barghouti has been locked up for nearly a quarter century. One of 10 000+ Palestinians kidnapped by occupation forces, Barghouti has been labeled the “Palestinian Nelson Mandela”... Continue Reading →
The NDP’s greatest achievement was bitterly condemned at the time. It contributed to the party’s defeat in the next election. The subject has some broad lessons for my internationalist, anti-capitalist, insurgent campaign to lead the NDP. The first lesson is you can win even if you lose. Another lesson is if you confront entrenched power,... Continue Reading →
Genocide advocates are whipped up by my call to defend Canadians’ civil liberties and a colonized people’s internationally enshrined right to resist a brutal occupation. The panic highlights just how weak the NDP’s opposition to a live-streamed holocaust has been. On Sunday I told a Montreal 4 Palestine demonstration that as part of my bid... Continue Reading →
Canadian officials and commentators continue to justify the unspeakable horrors inflicted on people who have endured 22 months of a live-streamed holocaust in Gaza. After Israel assassinated six Palestinian journalists last week, CBC commentator and former Stephen Harper communications director Dimitri Soudas openly applauded the “elimination” of what he claimed was a “member of a...

The cry bullying of those promoting a live streamed holocaust is a sight to behold. Dahlia Kurtz has announced that I’m a threat to dox her while doxxing me in an odious suit launched after her criminal case against me collapsed. Soon after the prosecution recently dropped the criminal case against me for allegedly harassing Kurtz,... Continue Reading →
Imagine the mainstream media uproar if an official representative of China commented on a Conservative or Liberal party leadership race? Yet it seems to be okay for the Israeli government to interfere in the NDP leadership race. In response to a meme I posted stating, “Want to freak out the Israel lobby? Engler for NDP...

Officially Canada considers housing a right. But the government certainly doesn’t act as if it is a principle to follow, leaving over one hundred thousand without a home and many more to worry about their precarious situation. As part of my bid to lead the NDP, I’m calling on the government to declare a state of emergency over... Continue Reading →
Plastic is likely in your saliva and blood as well as heart, kidney and other organs. It is found in breast milk and both sides of placentas. Plastic buildup inside brain tissue has grown substantially and a recent New York Times article says there may be the equivalent of a full plastic spoon by weight... Continue Reading →
Is it possible to deepen consciousness of Canada’s role in genocide while registering thousands to support an insurgent NDP leadership bid? That’s the aim of my Palestine outreach strategy. Every week there are dozens of rallies, film screenings, talks and other Palestine-related events that take place across the country. From small communities like Nelson, BC,... Continue Reading →
I recently learned about another hit to democracy. This time, however, it wasn’t Mark Carney ignoring the public’s desire to stand up to Donald Trump or oppose Israel’s genocide. Instead, it was a further drop in the private sector unionization rate. According to labour relations professor David J. Doorey, “Collective agreement coverage in Canada’s private...
