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. On Sunday the US president called the leaders of two Kurdish factions based in Iraq. Donald Trump wants groups the US has long cultivated to invade Iran from their base... Continue Reading →
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. After the prime minister released a written statement and made a public declaration expressing “support” for US/Israeli aggression, foreign affairs minister Anita Anand released two more statements criticizing Iran on Saturday....

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 front page of Tuesday’s National Post noted: “Alarming escalation of espionage, foreign interference”. 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 →
In recent years Israel has assassinated Iranian scientists, sabotaged its cyber facilities and backed opposition groups. The nuclear armed state has also repeatedly bombed Iranian targets in Syria. Yet the mainstream media and our government never criticizes Israel’s effort to destabilize a regime that offers some resistance to its domination of the region. Instead, Canada... Continue Reading →
According to Canadian government behaviour, the lack of democracy and repression of women is bad in Iran, but okay in Saudi Arabia. Why? None of the opposition parties are even asking the question. The new deputy leader of the Conservatives wants to overthrow the government of Iran. In response to Power & Politics host Vassy... Continue Reading →
While the current Liberal government claims to be progressive and in favour of a rules-based international order, promotion of democracy and world peace, its actions regarding Iran demonstrate that the primary drivers of Canadian foreign policy remain US Empire geo-political interests and the rich and powerful. (This previous article argues this has long been the... Continue Reading →
To understand where you are, it is necessary to know where you have been. To understand current Canadian policy towards the 18th most populous country in the world, it is necessary to look at the history of Ottawa’s relations with Iran. For the first 75 years after Confederation Canada’s foreign policy was largely shaped by the... Continue Reading →
While France, Germany, Russia and China seek detente, Canada is increasingly part of the US-Saudi Arabia-Israeli axis stoking conflict with Iran. Canada recently seized and sold $30 million worth of Iranian properties in Ottawa and Toronto to compensate individuals in the US who had family members killed in a 2002 Hamas bombing in Israel and...

Sometimes, when you pay attention, it is easy to see how foreign policy propaganda works. Take the case of Iran. Recently the US has choked off Iranian oil exports, listed its military a terrorist organization and dispatched an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to its environs to stop Iran’s “aggression”. Going along with Donald Trump’s... Continue Reading →
