The meltdown over Alex Ovechkin advertising Vladimir Putin’s party is hypocritical. The National Hockey League and its players have long backed politicians responsible for war crimes. In Thursday’s Globe and Mail former NHL goalie Dominik Hasek and Marcus Kolga published a column calling on Ottawa to sanction the greatest goal scorer in hockey history. “Alexander...

Lewis’ call for Jewish atonement elicits pro-Israel anger
The hypocrisy is stunning. Those who link Judaism to Zionism are outraged a politician said Jews have “failed to do our part to stop an ongoing genocide committed in our name.” On Sunday NDP leader Avi Lewis posted, “Tonight Yom Kippur begins, the most sombre moment of the Jewish calendar. It’s a time of atonement... Continue Reading →
When will NDP get that growing anti-capitalist left helps it?
Avi Lewis’s team is claiming credit for a mobilization it did not organize while close allies attack the activists who initiated it. But his team should get its story straight about the Confront Carney’s CEO Summit protest and think carefully about whether hostility toward independent, non-sectarian anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist organizing serves its broader aims....

Ottawa should let Yemenis decide their own fate
Canadian policy in West Asia has suffered a blow and the only response emanating from Ottawa is to double down on hypocrisy. In recent days Ansar Allah (Houthis) have gained significant territory along the western coast of Yemen, taking complete control of the country’s Red Sea coastline. Ansar Allah has strengthened their claim to run... Continue Reading →
Let’s end military integration, support for US foreign policy
The world is better off for Carney walking away from the Trump trade negotiations. But we must demand far more from Ottawa in terms of distancing the country from Washington’s economic and military bullying. Mark Carney was right to walk away from economic negotiations with the Trump administration. The US’ ever-growing list of demands, including... Continue Reading →
A window into the rarefied world of Carney’s CEO summit
An early bird might get in for $25,000. But most attendees will pay $50,000 to $75,000 for the four-and-a-half-hour forum. No worries, however, the Canada Revenue Agency will let you write it off as part of a subsidies for corporations and the rich tax code. The morning before Mark Carney’s CEO Summit begins in Toronto,... Continue Reading →
How right-wing, pro-Israel, Jewish ‘nationalism’ works
Authoritarian Jewish supremacists are crowing about canceling a talk about the US empire. With Israel killing 11 human beings in Lebanon Saturday and a minister demanding 30+ be killed in Gaza daily, a ‘peace-minded’ Toronto Jewish restaurant owner bolstered her community’s most fervent authoritarian, genocidal supremacists. And she will no doubt feel like a ‘liberal’... Continue Reading →
Pro-Israel McGill faces lawsuit by pro-Israel students
Palestinians, anti-genocide activists and the McGill undergraduate population should be the one’s suing the administration. But a Zionist judge just okayed a further step in a suit claiming it’s racist to oppose genocidal Jewish supremacy. And the class action demanding “anti-Zionism be recognized as a manifestation of antisemitism” will be ‘countered’ by a... Continue Reading →
Military celebrates occupation of Haiti
Sunday was National Peacekeepers’ Day and the Canadian Forces had the temerity to celebrate the UN occupation of Haiti. Through UN missions Ottawa has contributed to major US imperial crimes. On its Facebook page the military noted, “On this day, we honour the courage, dedication, and commitment of all Canadians who have served—and continue to... Continue Reading →
Yet again, anti-Muslim columnist lies, claims victimhood
Richard Martineau wants to spew pro-genocide bile in Quebec’s biggest paper without being questioned. The fragility of this anti ‘woke’ commentator is simply embarrassing. But did Martineau break the law in lying to get me arrested? On Saturday evening I was having ice cream with my four-year-old on Saint Denis Street. As Zuri finished her... Continue Reading →
Wealthy want oligarchy; people need economic democracy
The rich want to extend their one dollar one vote capitalist principles throughout society. But rather than simply defend “democracy” from Tobi Lutke, we need a vision that eliminates capitalism’s threat to democracy by extending one person one vote principles to the economy. Over the weekend TD Bank executive Eric Thor and Shopify CEO Tobi... Continue Reading →
Toronto Star: Support for Israel and bad journalist ethics
The Toronto Star support genocidal Jewish supremacy. Canada’s most liberal English language daily is so biased it won’t even publish a letter responding to its smears. Last week Mark McQueen suggested I was antisemitic in a Star column headlined “Moral leadership doesn’t require Ottawa’s permission”. Under the sub header “Antisemitic incidents” the former Brian Mulroney... Continue Reading →
Yet another way Canada supports ‘greater Israel’
In a bid to further subordinate Lebanon to US and Israeli dictates, Canada is devoting significant resources to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). If the country descends into civil war Canada will bear some responsibility. On Tuesday Canada’s ambassador to Lebanon Gregory Galligan had “a productive discussion with Lebanese Armed Forces Commander Gen. Haykal on... Continue Reading →
Once again Israel supporters wrongly cry ‘antisemitism’
Genocidal Jewish supremacists have created so much panic about antisemitism that a shooting at a Hilton hotel in a multiethnic Montreal area was described as a “Jewish neighbourhood” by Al Jazeera. At five o’clock EST the Qatar based pro-Palestinian media outlet described today’s killings at a US chain hotel in Côte-des-Neiges as taking place in... Continue Reading →
Should someone like this be on Suzuki Foundation board?
Apparently, Quebec’s pension fund sees a problem with maintaining investments in Stephen Bronfman’s operations in Israel but the David Suzuki Foundation is fine with having a member of Canada’s most influential Zionist family on its board. In an article about the Caisse de dépôt rethinking its investments, Le Journal de Montreal recently reported that Stephen... Continue Reading →
Rally to tell CSP speakers don’t greenwash Israeli crimes
The mayor of Montreal is set to speak at a forum set up by the racist Jewish National Fund. A Quebec minister is also participating in an initiative set up by an organization that had its charitable status revoked by the government. Recently David Suzuki withdrew as the keynote speaker for the Climate Solutions Prize... Continue Reading →
Carney boosts Israeli genocide, apartheid supporters
At a bastion of support for genocidal Jewish supremacy Mark Carney just bolstered forces funding and promoting a lawless genocidal state. At a synagogue that prays for Israeli soldiers the prime minister appointed a top apartheid lobbyist head of a new “equality” council. In a speech billed as a response to a “crisis in antisemitism”... Continue Reading →
Don’t look to Mark Carney for a different sort of system
As Donald Trump threatens to annex Canada and attacks the country economically, Prime Minister Mark Carney has sought to diversify business ties. Notwithstanding an internationally acclaimed speech, he has maintained military and diplomatic support for the US empire. In a much-heralded speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Canada’s PM challenged Donald Trump,... Continue Reading →
A wealth tax is good, but only a step to economic democracy
If you hope to win a wealth tax, you need a powerful force advocating to abolish billionaires. To win minimalist measures to taper extreme inequality requires building a socialist movement demanding the expropriation of capitalists’ socially derived wealth. In a positive development, there’s been significant discussion about adopting a wealth tax in Quebec over the... Continue Reading →
PQ leader’s pro-Israel, anti-Muslim racism must be challenged
The leader of the PQ is promoting an anti-Palestinian conspiracy theory. As Paul St-Pierre Plamondon spews absurd racism, Quebeckers are ever more critical of the Jewish supremacist state. Recently Parti Québécois (PQ) head Paul St-Pierre Plamondon (PSPP) claimed the federal government is turning a blind eye to a Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Canada. In French... Continue Reading →
