The NDP should be echoing leftists elsewhere challenging a belligerent military alliance spurring major cuts to social programs. Instead, the top brass wants a leading NATO advocate as party leader. It’s widely known the NDP leadership prefers Heather McPherson as the new leader. But McPherson is one of only two NDP MPs on Canada’s NATO... Continue Reading →
Heather McPherson’s ‘vocally tepid’ opposition to a live streamed holocaust encapsulates what’s wrong with some of the NDP’s leading figures. As foreign affairs critic during the holocaust in Gaza McPherson has repeatedly challenged the Liberals for backing genocide. She’s called for an arms embargo, to sanction far right ministers and recognize Palestine. McPherson has also... Continue Reading →
I’m running to lead the New Democratic Party. Canada needs a mainstream voice willing to challenge capitalism and imperialism while promoting de-colonization, de-growth and economic democracy. Initially, my reaction to the NDP Socialist Caucus’ request to run was to reject it. But there are two crucial issues before us that I am particularly well placed... Continue Reading →
GardaWorld is an odious enterprise that profits from armed conflict, deportations and right-wing fear mongering. The Montréal firm’s government and military ties say a great deal about the Canadian establishment. Garda’s US subsidiary has a US$8 million contract to provide armed guards to oversee ‘Alligator Alcatraz’. The controversial detention facility in South Florida was recently... Continue Reading →
Israel supporters have shown time and again their willingness to abrogate Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms to serve their favoured supremacist state. If you support Israel killing hundreds of caged starving people seeking food then it’s easy to push firing or jailing a Canadian critic. Wednesday The J.ca published “Montreal Author Under Police Review... Continue Reading →
A month after news surfaced about the RCMP investigating Canadians who might have committed war crimes in Gaza, genocide supporters continue to be stirred over the matter. Imagine the ability to cause panic and force the police’s hand if the NDP and others actually pushed to enforce Canadian law towards Israel. In Saturday’s National Post there was...

Donald Trump and NATO have unleashed a spectacular turn towards dangerous, imperialistic and inevitably wasteful militarism in Canada. Two weeks ago, Mark Carney announced an immediate $9 billion boost — $100 billion over a decade — to a military budget that has already doubled over the past decade. At this week’s NATO summit member states... Continue Reading →
By Alex Tyrell and Yves Engler NATO fears losing its ideological grip on the young so the belligerent military alliance’s backers are fighting back. In recent years a number of NATO-aligned institutions have expressed concern about the political orientation of younger generations. According to a report published by the NATO Association of Canada, youth support... Continue Reading →
An Ontario paramedic was recently fired for opposing genocide. Leading holocaust promoter Dahlia Kurtz is claiming responsibility. After 15 years on the job York region paramedic Katherine Grzejszczak was fired for a Facebook post: “In the last 2 years Israel has bombed Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and now Iran. They have been occupying Palestine for... Continue Reading →
In an interview Wednesday Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada would only accept a “Zionist Palestinian state”. Two week earlier foreign affairs minister Anita Anand described Canada's “unwavering support for Israel’s security” and next week an RCMP commissioner is set to speak at an event to assuage the concerns of Canadians who’ve fought in Gaza...

It is inexcusable for a leftist to bemoan “campism” while failing to mention Canada’s backing for US/Israeli violence. On Monday Canadian Dimension published “The Iranian people are confronted by enemies within and enemies without” by former leftist Quebec national assembly member Amir Khadir. The article complained about “campists”, which is not defined but is supposed... Continue Reading →
Canada’s most Jewish municipality ought to be a cudgel in the hands of those challenging the genocidal victim narrative. But anti-Zionists ignore, even suppress, discussion of the cloistered, well-off, Montreal suburb led by a warmongering racist. Hampstead mayor Jeremy Levi clearly believes the life of a Jewish person is worth that of many thousands of... Continue Reading →
Mark Carney has backed US aggression against Iran while Pierre Poilievre openly hopes the illegal attack will lead to government collapse. In other words, dominant Canadian politicians support a genocidal ethno-supremacist state of 9 million in its bid to dominate a region of half a billion. After nine days of Israeli attacks that have killed... Continue Reading →
The Tyee wants to add $100 billion to Canada’s annual war spending. It’s the logical conclusion of the ‘progressive’ publication suppressing perspectives that contradict Washington’s geopolitical outlook. Thursday, Tyee contributing editor Crawford Kilian’s “The Case for Boosting Canada’s Military Spending” was published, which called for reaching NATO’s expected goal of spending 5% of GDP on... Continue Reading →
Some are pushing Canada to join Israel’s war on Iran. It may already have. On X a former advisor to Quebec’s economics minister Jean Phillipe Fournier posted, “The US will likely join the Iran-Israel conflict eventually. Canada should stop morally equivocating and do all it can to help Israel defend itself as well, with whatever... Continue Reading →
Jean Chrétien is far more sensible on Russia than NDP “resistance leader” Charlie Angus. The former prime minister’s insights can help the party defend social services. In a speech last week about the G7 summit in Alberta, Chretien raised the importance of talking with Russia. He said, “It’s always good to talk, you can’t go... Continue Reading →
Mark Carney has blamed Iran for Israel’s aggression. The prime minister’s statement fits a long Canadian pattern of unwarranted criticism and isolation that must be challenged. In response to Israel killing 78 in yet another brazen violation of international law, Carney declared, “Iran’s nuclear program has long been a cause of grave concern, and its... Continue Reading →
Canada’s main Jewish organizations would support Israel wiping out everyone in the region. One reason they can express such racist positions is that many critics insulate them from discussion of the supremacist ideology and system they promote. Amidst its holocaust in Gaza, land theft in the West Bank and constant bombings in Syria, Yemen and... Continue Reading →
Mark Carney just gave Trump a big win that the prime minister masked with anti-US rhetoric. And Carney looks set to hand the Donald another militarist win. As climate-change-fuelled forest fires displace tens of thousands of Canadians, Carney announced a massive increase in military spending Monday to overcome “threats which felt far away and remote...

*Does anyone seriously believe that ethnicity/religion/ideology has no bearing on media coverage of Palestine? And why would a leftist seek to excuse a community (broadly) promoting a holocaust? At a recent forum on Palestine I spoke alongside the managing editor of The Breach, Martin Lukacs, about media bias. In my opening remarks, I discussed the... Continue Reading →
