The NDP has stayed mum on a major expansion in Canadian war fighting capacity. The Naval Deployment Party has been staunchly pro-navy since long before Russia’s invasion or Trump’s annexation threats. In a major militarist expansion, Mark Carney recently announced the purchase of a dozen German submarines set to be equipped with cruise missiles. Two... Continue Reading →
Another $100 billion to assist the US empire without parliamentary challenge. In what will be a major expansion in Canadian sea fighting capacity, Mark Carney recently announced the purchase of a dozen German submarines set to be equipped with cruise missiles. Over the past three decades Canada has had four of these covert vessels with... Continue Reading →
The monsters who’ve armed Israel throughout its genocide in Gaza are giving themselves greater capacity to intimidate and kill internationally. As forest fires burn out of control across the country and ever more Canadians sleep on the streets, our government is devoting unprecedented sums of public resources to a militarist conception of ‘security’. Thursday Mark... Continue Reading →
Although some of his supporters claim he isn’t, Avi Lewis sure seems to be a militarist. The new NDP leader’s tacit acceptance of Mark Carney’s submarine madness is but the latest example of Lewis following his party’s well-worn warmongering ways. In the latest phase of the largest militarization in three quarters of a century, Carney... Continue Reading →
In the latest militarist outrage, Mark Carney just announced the purchase of a dozen German attack submarines. The 12 subs will cost about two billion dollars each and the contract will top $100 billion over their lifecycle. Prime Minister Carney made the submarine announcement in Halifax enroute to the NATO summit in Turkey. The huge... Continue Reading →
Mark Carney’s militarism is extreme. In the latest example, his government looks set to purchase more than twice as many fighter jets as Stephen Harper planned to. On Friday CBC reported that Ottawa is considering purchasing over 140 new fighter jets. In what could rival the surface combatant purchase as the largest ever military procurement,...

As Trump once again threatens to destroy all of Iran, Canadian politicians won’t even condemn the US president’s rhetoric, let alone push to reduce military ties. And in an embarrassing turn, the annexationist president is the one who has paused a major bilateral military accord. Just before speaking with an Israeli Prime Minister pushing to...

Most Canadian politicians, even self-described left-wing ones, seem to want a war bank in their city. Apparently, they don’t care about starving social programs, linking finance to arms production or the violence it will spur. On Thursday leftist Quebec Solidaire (QS) defended Montreal’s bid to host the new NATO war bank Canada was recently selected... Continue Reading →
The US congress or people need to remove Donald Trump. In Canada we need a politician who will demand an immediate pause of US military overflights, officer exchanges and training missions as well as military accords and arms sales so long as the warmongering fanatic is in charge. On Tuesday morning Trump posted: “A whole... Continue Reading →
Donald Trump is an unhinged warmongering lunatic who must be stopped. While Iran is doing its part by delivering the US president a strategic defeat, Ottawa doesn’t appear to have even paused any of its extensive ties to the US war machine. During a nationally broadcast speech on Iran Wednesday night the US president declared,... 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...

The NDP isn’t pushing to sever any of Canada’s 500 military accords with the US despite Donald Trump’s violence and annexation threats. Last April former defence ministers Peter McKay and David Pratt wrote, “It is estimated that since the 1940s, the two countries have signed more than 2,500 agreements covering North American security, defence, research,...

Yes, Avi Lewis is a “warmonger”. He’s more hawkish than Jean Chrétien on the NATO proxy war and has been silent on NDP militarism. I began a recent article asking “Is Avi Lewis a war monger? Does he want to prolong the costliest proxy war in Canadian history?” The piece detailed Lewis’ support for sending... Continue Reading →
Is it pro-working class to subsidize billionaires? Do workers benefit from naval belligerence? NDP leadership candidate Rob Ashton supports giving huge subsidies to the most controversial capitalists in the Maritimes so the navy can fire long range missiles in US-led wars. On X and at an NDP debate in Toronto Saturday Ashton celebrated the Stephen... Continue Reading →
The year of Canada’s radical militarist turn. 2025 was also “the year the No Debate Party refused to discuss this most significant political development”. “History will view 2025 as the year that our allied capital markets and banks swung full force supporting defence and security," explained Kevin Reed, president of the development research group for...

Mark Carney is setting up a “people’s army”. The Former Goldman Sachs banker and chair of Brookfield Assets is turning Canada into socialist republic and anti-imperialist beachhead. If you believe Carney is setting up a “people’s army”, Charlie Angus has a bridge to sell you in Moose Jaw. The former NDP MP and member of... Continue Reading →
A factory in Brampton is set to deliver 20 armoured vehicles to ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Canadian camera systems were used in recent US strikes on Venezuelan boats. Montreal-made artillery propellant and bullets have been ordered by the Pentagon to assist Israel’s genocide. Every year Canada sells over a billion dollars in arms... Continue Reading →
Mark Carney is slashing the public service as he boosts the war machine. Unfortunately, the NDP has been too supportive of militarism to effectively boost unions that want the federal government to focus on human welfare rather than corporate warfare. The Carney government is cutting tens of thousands of jobs from the federal public service.... Continue Reading →
Does the Conservative party celebrate feminist and socialist collectives? Or other institutions that promote values which boost their political opponents? Certainly not. So, why does the NDP celebrate Canada’s military? Last week the RCMP charged current and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) for an extremist plot that allegedly involved creating an anti-government... Continue Reading →
Mark Carney’s kowtowing to Donald Trump is embarrassing. This former hockey playing prime minister shouts “elbows up” then acts scared to skate into the corners to fight for pucks. This is demonstrated by his refusal to take even tiny measures to piss off his tough talking but weak ankles American opponent. Like Carney I played... Continue Reading →
