Those justifying mass slaughter in Palestine and everywhere Israel drops its bombs are obsessively seeking to suppress any statement they don’t like. Zionist snowflakes have instigated a series of police complaints in response to my social media posts challenging genocidal violence. Saturday National Post columnist Terry Newman posted, “I filed a report about Engler at... Continue Reading →
There’s little space for internationalism in official ‘left’ politics. From the Greens to NDP, imperialism and militarism dominate Canadian politics. A few weeks after backing Mark Carney’s radical militarist budget, Elizabeth May recently criticized Palestinian civil society’s call for non-violent solidarity. According to a Global Green News report, “May reiterated her long-standing opposition to the... Continue Reading →
Canada is directly supporting Donald Trump’s criminal blockade of Venezuela. It’s also assisting US violence that could spur unimaginable devastation. The US navy recently seized a tanker carrying oil from Venezuela to Cuba. A few days after this act of piracy, Trump announced a “total and complete blockade” of oil tankers the US has sanctioned...

Avi Lewis has driven his supporters down an authoritarian, anti-socialist, path. The NDP leadership candidate’s role in assisting the party establishment’s bid to crush an insurgent campaign doesn’t portend well for an individual whose family’s history is steeped in crushing the left. NDP leadership candidate Heather McPherson has applauded an individual who fought for Hitler... Continue Reading →
Ignoring our leader’s geopolitical belligerence towards Russia has cost Canadians greatly. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being wasted because we failed to restrain our leaders from ousting an elected government and promoting NATO expansion. A friend recently emailed saying Canada has funnelled $50 billion into Ukraine since the 2014 ouster of elected President Viktor... Continue Reading →
The unelected three person NDP vetting committee’s decision to block members’ right to choose who they want to lead has revitalized No Democracy Party claims. But if you read their rationale it gives oxygen to the No Activism Party descriptor. In the largest international focused protest movement in Canadian history, there have been several thousand...

Heather McPherson has some strange ways of demonstrating she is pro-Palestinian and a foe of Israel’s genocide, apartheid and ongoing ethnic cleansing. Yesterday Heather McPherson introduced the NDP’s leading anti-Palestinian into the party’s gamed leadership race. She sent thousands an email from recently retired MP Randall Garrison. One of the party’s most prominent Zionists in... Continue Reading →
Despite few promoting socialism Canadians are open to anti-capitalist messages. According to a mid-November Spark Insights online survey of 2,895 adults, 43% of Canadians believe capitalism “is doing more harm than good today.” Also asked, “How do you feel about capitalism and socialism?” 29% of respondents said socialism is a better approach while 28% said...

More than half of Canadians now view Isreal as genocidal. Yet Zionists groups still have the power to suppress, block and even arrest critics of the lawless apartheid state. Over the weekend the University of Guelph was set to host the People's Conference for Palestinian Solidarity. But the administration canceled it days before an event... Continue Reading →
Is it illegal to promote an email petition to state officials? Does it become “harassment” if successful? Or is it only a crime if the emails go to the police? Nearly 50 people joined me in court Friday as I faced charges for promoting an email petition campaign. The Action Network campaign called on supporters... Continue Reading →
Canadian forces are learning from the génocidaires, directly assisting the US/Israeli occupation of Gaza and will likely help build a colonial Palestinian force. Canadian troops have been taking tips from the Israel occupation forces. According to a series of reports, Canadian troops participated in IOF seminars this week to learn about its war crimes...

The Liberal government just passed an unprecedentedly militaristic peacetime budget. And they did so with barely a murmur from the parliamentary opposition. On Monday Mark Carney passed his radical militarist budget, which devotes extraordinary sums to submarines, surface combatants, armoured vehicles, drones and other weaponry. The budget adds $82 billion to a military budget that... Continue Reading →
Ben Mulroney doesn’t like me. Should the NDP like that? On Wednesday the son of the former Conservative party leader ripped into me on his radio program. He began the four-and-a-half-minute discussion by calling me an “agitator extraordinaire, troublemaker, rabble rouser, generally unproductive member of society, antisemite of the highest order.” Ostensibly about my submitting...

NDP MPs and party leadership candidates are more cautious than Paris and London in challenging Trump’s war on Venezuela. Even the admiral in charge of the US violence appears more willing to buck the Donald. On Tuesday the largest aircraft carrier in the world, USS Gerald Ford, arrived in the Caribbean as part of Trump’s... Continue Reading →
Zohran Mamdani would likely have been blocked by the NDP’s three person vetting committee. Fortunately, the Democratic Party doesn’t “vet” candidates seeking to participate in the New York City mayoral primary. According to New York election rules, to participate in the primary one has about a month to gather 3,750 signatures from registered voters. “At... Continue Reading →
Mark Carney is fear mongering about faraway countries while downplaying a security threat driving an ever-greater number of Canadians from their homes. In the recently released federal budget “defence” is mentioned 148 times while “climate change” is cited 20 times (the document includes 40 more mentions of “climate” in an ecological sense and an equal... Continue Reading →
Amidst the smears, my insurgent left NDP leadership campaign continues to rack up wins. Our positions are shaping a race that many have sought to exclude us from. Yesterday Heather McPherson sent a message to the NDP list describing “my plan to call a national emergency on housing — to marshal resources, build more co-op... Continue Reading →
The dearth of NDP pushback to Mark Carney’s radical military turn is remarkable. As the signs of Liberal warmongering grow, there’s barely a murmur of opposition from the party to this threat to the world and Canadian social programs. On Friday the Ottawa Citizen reported on the military’s plan to expand the reserve by a... Continue Reading →
Yesterday Mark Carney visited a South Korean shipyard as part of a plan to spend $100 billion on attack submarines. The prime minister is pursuing one of Canada’s largest ever discretionary purchases as he prepares an austerity budget for the working class. In an unprecedented level of direct prime ministerial involvement in military procurement, Carney... Continue Reading →
Canadians are living through a housing crisis. Prices have spiraled out of reach for millions and housing affordability is at the heart of the disenfranchisement many feel. Alongside millions who pay rents beyond their means, growing numbers live in abject misery on the streets. Every night in Canada, 60,000 people sleep on the streets and... Continue Reading →
