Is it a wariness toward activism, hesitance around Palestinian solidarity, or partisan instinct that’s pushing Avi Lewis supporters to advance misleading claims? While the NDP’s position has greatly improved on the lawless genocidal apartheid state, the recent debate exposed its limitations. According to multiple Avi supporters and opponents of my NDP leadership bid, all... Continue Reading →
A new book on Canada’s role in the destruction of Libya should embarrass the NDP and prompt members to ask tough questions of leadership candidates. Would Avi Lewis, Rob Ashton or Heather McPherson have promoted the destruction of the North African nation? Targeting Libya: Canadian Dams, Canadian Bombs is the definitive account of Canada’s significant... Continue Reading →
The Breach has defamed my campaign’s fundraising success. But its finances are far more noteworthy and its willingness to punch down stems from a self-proclaimed “left’ and its political economy that is hostile to anti-imperialism. On a Breach podcast a week ago Martin Lukacs and Desmond Cole spent 10 minutes maliciously lying about my campaign’s... Continue Reading →
Heather vs Avi. That’s how the liberal media and NDP brass would like to frame the leadership race but, unfortunately for them there’s an anti-genocide, anti-military and anti-US insurgent left campaign promoting economic democracy, degrowth and land back policies, which is already shaping the debate.

Genocide advocates are whipped up by my call to defend Canadians’ civil liberties and a colonized people’s internationally enshrined right to resist a brutal occupation. The panic highlights just how weak the NDP’s opposition to a live-streamed holocaust has been. On Sunday I told a Montreal 4 Palestine demonstration that as part of my bid... Continue Reading →

Is the NDP willing to forego $150 000+ to protect their... Continue Reading →
Selina Robinson must be removed from the BC NDP cabinet. The post-secondary education minister has spoken and acted as if she is an authoritarian, genocide-promoting Jewish supremacist. In a recent speech to B’nai Brith Robinson called Palestine before European colonization “a crappy piece of land with nothing on it.” She added, “there were, you know,... Continue Reading →
Is Lula a pro-Russian “tankie”? Should the Canadian left echo or marginalize his outlook on Ukraine? Last week Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva called on the US and other countries to “stop supplyingweapons and encouraging war” in Ukraine. He said, “the United States needs to stop encouraging war and start talking about peace;... Continue Reading →
The Canadian foreign policy status quo won Monday’s election. Of course, when it came to international and military affairs the vote had little upside. All the parties with a chance of winning seats in Parliament promote a corporate, military and Washington-centred foreign policy. But a Conservative victory would have made things worse. At least...
