Chrystia Freeland was recently challenged for supporting genocide at an event hosted by a Jewish supremacist group held in a Zionist community centre. After our Capitalism Can’t be Fixed conference concluded Sunday, a few participants interrupted Freeland’s speech. In Toronto from BC, one protestor labelled the former foreign affairs minister and deputy prime minister a... Continue Reading →
Chrystia Freeland, Mark Carney and other Liberal party leadership candidates have all acceded to the annexationist US president’s demand to massively increase military spending. But defunding the Canadian Forces (CF) is one of the clearest ways to stand up to Donald Trump and reclaim sovereignty. The CF grew out of the British forces that disposed... Continue Reading →
Jagmeet Singh needs to start seriously challenging Donald Trump. It’s long been the right thing to do for the NDP leader to push back against the United States but now there’s a growing electoral benefit in challenging the Ugly American. After a bevy of threats, Trump said he would annex Canada through “economic force”. Simultaneously,... Continue Reading →
Canada’s “America First” foreign minister claims to be best placed to stand up to Donald Trump. Chrystia Freeland’s absurd argument only sounds plausible because of media bias and politicians’ refusal to challenge Canada’s pro-empire foreign policy. At her launch event and in a video produced by her campaign for Liberal Party leadership, Freeland has argued... Continue Reading →
Chrystia Freeland’s Liberal Party leadership launch was brilliantly disrupted Sunday. Anti-genocide protesters derailed her speech and captured much of the spotlight. A dozen individuals heckled Freeland. They did so in sequence prolonging the disruptive impact by repeatedly forcing the former international trade minister to stop speaking. One protester carried a Palestinian flag onto the podium... Continue Reading →
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Madame Freeland. Chrystia Freeland’s resignation from cabinet is a small win for all those who wish Canada would take a more independent foreign policy and not simply toady to the Americans. A year after becoming prime minister, Justin Trudeau replaced foreign affairs minister Stéphane Dion,... Continue Reading →
The Liberals are openly suppressing alternative views and escalating a war with a nuclear armed state. In recent days they’ve helped ban an anti-war film, labelled a media outlet foreign interference and sought to bomb deep inside Russia. Last Tuesday Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland boosted a campaign to suppress the screening of Russians at... Continue Reading →
Yesterday Venezuelans voted for Nicolás Maduro to continue as president. The election highlights one of Justin Trudeau’s most embarrassing foreign policy failures and a lesson regarding media and government propaganda. According to Venezuela’s National Electoral Council, Maduro received 51% of the vote. His main challenger, Edmundo Gonzalez, garnered 44% while 59% of eligible voters cast... Continue Reading →
On June 14 defence minister Anita Anand tweeted, “Ukraine is fighting for its territorial integrity, sovereignty — and for democracy itself.” During a trip to Ukraine a few days earlier finance minister Chrystia Freeland declared, “in fighting for their lives and their sovereignty, the brave people of Ukraine are also fighting Canada’s fight — the...

Real internationalism requires a proper assessment of global power dynamics, capacity to see through stark media bias and willingness to hold one’s own government accountable. As such, it trips up liberals who fundamentally trust the media and worry about being isolated from power. Recently Chrystia Freeland delivered a speech at the influential Brookings Institute...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s planned trip to Taiwan combined with the head of the US military Mark Milley recently calling the Chinese military “noticeably more aggressive” has greatly ratcheted up tensions with the world’s most populous nation. Major Canadian media and think tanks are pressing for this country to join the conflict. They have... Continue Reading →
Gustavo Petro’s election victory in Colombia is a major blow to Justin Trudeau’s bid to bolster pro-empire/corporate governments in the hemisphere. Sunday’s presidential vote strengthens the socialistic, regional integrationist forces Ottawa has sought to undercut. An ex-rebel fighter, Petro is widely considered Colombia’s first ever left-wing leader. While the senator and former mayor of... Continue Reading →
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a flagrant violation of international law. It has led to thousands of deaths, millions of refugees and tens of billions of dollars in damage. Troublingly, the situation could get worse if the escalatory politics sweeping Canada is any indication. A month ago, Ottawa was unwilling to send lethal weapons... Continue Reading →
If there was an award for the world’s most hypocritical political party, the Liberal Party of Canada would be frontrunners to take the prize. In their bid to ramp up tensions between nuclear armed NATO and Russia, this country’s top two politicians flagrantly intervened in Ukrainian affairs while maintaining other nations must stay out...

Three-years ago Sunday Juan Guaidó declared himself president of Venezuela in a Caracas park. The same day Canadian foreign minister Chrystia Freeland formally recognized the little-known opposition politician. In subsequent days Canadian diplomats boasted to reporters that they played an important role in uniting large swaths of the Venezuelan opposition behind the plan to ratchet up tensions by proclaiming...

Imagine if Nicolás Maduro’s vice president quit and called for his government to be disbanded. Or if Venezuela’s opposition won a landslide in regional elections or if 90% of member states voted against the government’s UN credentials. The Canadian media would have splashed this news on front pages, but the shoe was on “our guy’s”... Continue Reading →
The Russians are up to no good and we must prepare to protect Ukraine. Moscow interferes in US and Canadian elections. That’s what Washington, Ottawa and their media sycophants claim. But is this just another case of accusing others of doing the things you do? An age-old propaganda technique designed to deflect attention away from... Continue Reading →
The Canadian military seem willing, even eager, to work with neo-Nazis in the Ukraine in order to weaken Russia, something the US, NATO and Ukrainian–Canadian groups support. On Monday Ottawa Citizen military reporter David Pugliese revealed that when Canadian military officials met with the Azov Battalion in June 2018, they knew the group used the... Continue Reading →
Justin Trudeau regularly boasts about supporting the “international rules-based order” (IRBO). But reality is quite different. Let us count some of the ways the Liberals have failed to support international accords that strengthen an IRBO: According to the National Observer, Canada is refusing to support a draft resolution to advance a global agreement to curb...

The Canadian instigated Lima Group has been dealt a probably fatal blow that ought to elicit serious discussion about this country’s foreign policy. But, don’t expect the media or politicians to even mention it. In a likely death knell for a coalition seeking to overthrow the Venezuelan government, Peru’s new Foreign Affairs Minister called the... Continue Reading →
