The NDP’s belated call to scrap the F-35 contract is a damning comment on Jagmeet Singh’s leadership. This cautious response to a rapidly shifting political terrain also includes an outrageous sop to the military industrial complex. On February 25 I asked the NDP leader if he’d reconsider paying tens of billions of dollars to a... Continue Reading →

Find IDF Soldiers has elicited a significant backlash. But there’s been little discussion of the website’s indictment of the legal exceptionalism given to Israel in Canadian political culture. Find IDF Soldiers lists 85 Canadians who have fought in the Israeli military. It has been covered by The Jerusalem Post, Ynet, Jewish Onliner, Jewish Press, Israel... Continue Reading →
An extreme Jewish supremacist activist convinced the police to arrest me for criticizing her racist posts. She’s likely acting as a front for a vast Zionist ‘lawfare’ initiative hostile to embarrassing Canadian leaders. Over the past 16 months I’ve annoyed many among the Jewish Zionist establishment. My writing, social media commentary and reporting on protests... Continue Reading →
As Donald Trump seeks to cripple Canada economically to pursue annexation, the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) is assisting the US bid to stoke war with China. With far-right Trump supporters calling for the US to invade, Canada continues to assist US belligerence in Asia. Last month HMCS Ottawa transited through the Taiwan Strait with a...

Neil Oberman highlights Conservative party hypocrisy on freedom of expression. In service of a genocidal foreign state Pierre Poilievre’s candidate for the Mount Royal riding has been rampaging against freedom of speech and assembly. Partly due to Oberman’s intervention, I recently spent five days in jail for social media posts critical of Israel. The case... Continue Reading →
I recently spent five days in jail for social media posts critical of Israel and police charges brought against me. It was an unpleasant, though interesting, experience that culminated in a small victory for free speech and Palestine campaigning. On Thursday February 20 at 9:30 a.m. 30 rallied at the detention centre where I turned... Continue Reading →
Canada supports Israel’s violence and apartheid in innumerable ways. Targeting critics of Israel has long been a way Canada assists Palestinian dispossession. I was recently arrested for social media posts critical of Israel and spent five days in jail to win the right to discuss social media influencer Dahlia Kurtz who pursued charges against me....

Eight hundred and eighty-five to 58. That was the result of a recent Concordia student vote in favour of the university severing ties with Israel. At a Special General Meeting of the Concordia Student Union (CSU) undergraduates voted more than 15 to 1 to adopt two motions in support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions... Continue Reading →
After spending five days imprisoned, I was released without restriction on my ability to discuss the charges brought against me for criticizing Israel. It’s a small win for free expression and Palestine campaigning. In court on Monday the judge effectively forced the crown to drop its bid to block me from mentioning arch anti Palestinian...

You can’t make this up. Initially the Montreal police accused me of harassing an anti-Palestinian media personality because I posted about Israel’s genocide. Now they are charging me for harassing the police for writing about the charges levelled against me. At 9:30 AM tomorrow the Montreal police are set to arrest me. Today an... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow the Montreal police will arrest me for posting to social media against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Today I received a phone call from a Montreal police officer by the last name of Crivello. She asked me to come to a downtown police station where I will be charged for harassment and indecent communication. Crivello... Continue Reading →
Canada’s largest private sector union backs the military machine. In an indication of its conservative bent, Unifor recently celebrated a large F-35 contract and called on Ottawa to develop a “world class” arms firm. Last week the federal government announced that it had selected Montreal-based flight simulation firm CAE to develop the Royal Canadian Air... Continue Reading →
Chrystia Freeland, Mark Carney and other Liberal party leadership candidates have all acceded to the annexationist US president’s demand to massively increase military spending. But defunding the Canadian Forces (CF) is one of the clearest ways to stand up to Donald Trump and reclaim sovereignty. The CF grew out of the British forces that disposed... Continue Reading →
Romeo Dallaire has greatly enabled the “Butcher of Africa’s Great Lakes” region. The Canadian general’s fairy tale has repeatedly justified Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame who has once again unleashed horrible violence in Congo. Two months ago a man in front of me at Salon du livre de Montréal asked Dallaire if his “opinion of Rwanda... Continue Reading →
Toronto police say they found a rifle and bullets at the home of a genocidal Jewish supremacist activist who they accuse of uttering death threats. It’s a sign of the violent fascistic tendencies of the city’s Israel supporters. Eli Schwarz was charged and arrested with uttering death threats and careless storage of a firearm. The...

Canada has done as much to advance the US empire as any other nation. Regardless, the beast is turning on Canada and the ruling class’ reaction has been to feed it even more. In response to Donald Trump’s tariff and annexation threats, Canadian officials have endorsed his reactionary ‘secure borders’ agenda and announced that Canada... Continue Reading →
Eastern Congo is facing a devastating foreign invasion and Canada is once again assisting the imperialists targeting that tortured land. In the latest stage of three decades of Rwandan instigated violence, its proxy M23 rebels recently took the biggest city in eastern Congo. Paul Kagame’s Rwanda has again captured Goma, a city of two million on its border. Four... Continue Reading →
The foreign interference inquiry’s failure to uncover much substance should lead to an inquiry into the foreign forces that pushed the inquiry in the first place. This is even more pressing now that the US president is calling to annex Canada. On Tuesday the commissioner of the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral... Continue Reading →
Jagmeet Singh needs to start seriously challenging Donald Trump. It’s long been the right thing to do for the NDP leader to push back against the United States but now there’s a growing electoral benefit in challenging the Ugly American. After a bevy of threats, Trump said he would annex Canada through “economic force”. Simultaneously,... Continue Reading →
