Canada has violated a commitment for hosting a major international sporting event. But the NDP has stayed mum since it has supported this part of the US/Israeli aggression against Iran.

Donald Trump is an unhinged warmongering lunatic who must be stopped.

Evidence of Canada’s role in the war on Iran is growing. With the public against participation in the cataclysmic conflict, Canadians need to understand this country’s default position is going along with whatever the US empire does. Not participating requires Canada to end military ties to the US empire. According to Monday’s Globe and Mail,... Continue Reading →
Mark Carney wants to set West Asia alight. Even if Ottawa doesn’t ultimately dispatch warships to assist the US and Israel, the Canadian government once again boosted the supremacist warmongering fanatics in Washington and Tel Aviv who must be brought to heel.

While Canadians overwhelmingly reject aggression on Iran, Israelis have descended into a militarist frenzy. Two and a half years into the genocide in Gaza, Jewish Israeli political leaders overwhelmingly call for more to be killed, infrastructure destroyed and ecological destruction. A Financial Times article headlined “Benjamin Netanyahu’s rivals compete to outdo him over Iran” notes:... Continue Reading →
The NDP should apologize for enabling the US/Israeli war on Iran. The party has long assisted imperial aggression, which has escalated to a cataclysmic war. Caitlin Johnstone recently posted, “Can’t get over how many leftists bought into the ‘we support the Iran protests’ schtick. Where the fuck did you idiots think this was headed? What...

Canadian monarchists are trying to blame the Iranian government for a killing apparently committed by supporters of the Shah. This type of inversion of reality underpins discussion of Iran, masking a fanaticism that likely contributed to the murder of Masood Masjoody. On Saturday the Vancouver police reported the arrest of two suspects in the killing... Continue Reading →
As the US faces strategic defeat in its devastating war on Iran, Donald Trump is calling on nations to assist by deploying warships to help break the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Ottawa must reject the appeal even if it has historically backed the US navy in the region. As the price of oil... Continue Reading →
Few know Canada has a base in Kuwait. Fewer still realize that it’s part of a network of international bases assisting the US empire. On Thursday La Presse reported that Canada’s base in Kuwait was hit during a strike on a US compound. Soon after the US and Israel launched their war of aggression, Iran killed six...

Mark Carney is assisting Israeli/US belligerence in a slew of ways. From Lebanon to the Gulf, Ottawa is enabling dastardly crimes that could push the region into chaos. On Sunday Carney spoke with the prime minister of Lebanon, Nawaf Salam. The read out noted, “the Prime Minister expressed support for the clarity of the decision... Continue Reading →
Does Avi Lewis back monarchical rule in Iran? The NDP leadership candidate and the party’s foreign critic have echoed some of the pretext for the US/Israeli aggression, which has already killed over 1,200. In a statement critical of Mark Carney’s support for US/Israeli war on Iran Lewis wrote, “These leaders justify this war as serving... Continue Reading →
The US and Israel are pushing their proxies to invade Iran and foment unimaginable chaos. Canada has played a small part in bolstering these forces.

Canada has defended every country harmed by the conflict except the victim of aggression. It’s part of Ottawa’s longstanding support for war on Iran.

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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
Recently there’s been significant attention devoted to purported foreign interference in Canadian politics. But there’s been little discussion of Ottawa’s far more significant interference abroad.

The story reported Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) analyst Noura Hayek saying foreign interference is one... Continue Reading →
A Rabble interview with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute’s Kaveh Shahrooz offers a troubling window into Canadian politics. Last month the left-wing website, for whom I’ve written for two decades, published “Understanding the dynamics of the protests in Iran”. Everything about the article should have raised red flags. Described as “a lawyer and human rights activist”,... Continue Reading →
