Canadian Author and Activist
No matter how many Israel kills, some self-described leftists continue to promote a supremacist colonial movement’s obvious ideological stick. But endorsing a unique form of Canadian assistance to a lawless supremacist state is anti-Palestinian. Yesterday the Liberals abolished the special envoy to promote genocide. As I detailed in a widely circulated post, the demise of... Continue Reading →
What exactly does Heather McPherson like about Irwin Cotler’s unremitting defence of Israel no matter how many thousands of children it bombs or starves to death? No matter its internal system of apartheid. No matter its ethnic cleansing, plain for all to see. During the NDP leadership race I am making it my mission to... Continue Reading →
The NDP leadership race is being gamed to favour an individual who supported buying a tar sands pipeline, applauded a Nazi, engaged with a CIA talk shop, sits on a NATO parliamentary body and praises Canada’s leading proponent of a state committing a holocaust. Is the NDP willing to forego $150 000+ to protect their... Continue Reading →
Heather McPherson’s ‘vocally tepid’ opposition to a live streamed holocaust encapsulates what’s wrong with some of the NDP’s leading figures. As foreign affairs critic during the holocaust in Gaza McPherson has repeatedly challenged the Liberals for backing genocide. She’s called for an arms embargo, to sanction far right ministers and recognize Palestine. McPherson has also... Continue Reading →
Historians aren’t going to believe this happened. All Canadians are paying a special envoy to lobby the police to exempt genocidaires from Canadian law. On Thursday Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism Deborah Lyons posted: “Yesterday I spoke to the RCMP and confirmed that there is no investigation into Israeli Canadians....

It’s “remarkably” contradictory to challenge Israel’s treatment of Palestinians while celebrating its leading advocate’s “defence of human rights”. In the House of Commons Monday MPs unanimously praised Irwin Cotler’s “contribution to the defence of human rights”. For his part, ‘pro-Palestinian’ NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice told CBC Cotler was a “remarkable” individual. But over the past... Continue Reading →
Who is Canada’s new antisemitism envoy? At a big apartheid lobby convention in Ottawa last week Justin Trudeau’s government announced its new Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism. Deborah Lyons will replace Irwin Cotler in a position the Liberals created three years ago. Cotler used the platform and public funds allocated to... Continue Reading →
Canada’s special envoy to combat antisemitism is actually a government emissary to promote Jewish supremacy. In a stark example of the Liberals’ anti-Palestinian policies, they have given public resources and prestige to an aggressive apartheid proponent. Recently foreign affairs minister Mélanie Joly tweeted, “I spoke with Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting... Continue Reading →
Liberal MP Sameer Zuberi, Justice For All Canada and the National Council of Canadian Muslims should ask themselves why prominent anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian Canadians are central players in the Uyghur cause. Their involvement highlights how Canadians criticizing China’s treatment of Muslims serves the US empire. Recently, the Globe and Mail reported on the role anti-Muslim... Continue Reading →
Seven years ago, I was viciously attacked for an article arguing that antisemitism is the most abused term in Canada today. The recent manufactured outrage over Roger Waters suggests the statement is even more true today. Recently, officials in the fascistic, openly Jewish supremacist, Israeli government attacked the famed rockstar’s performance in Berlin. Israel’s anti-Palestinian... Continue Reading →
The story is not about Irwin Cotler lying. It’s about the media embracing a biographical detail because they support the US empire and Zionism. Seven years ago, the South African ambassador to Venezuela Pandit Thaninga Shope-Linney stated plainly that “Irwin Cotler was not Nelson Mandela’s lawyer.” Three years later Max Blumenthal pointed out that “in...

Rather than the Golden Rule, the ethos guiding Canada’s relations to weak nations seems to be: ‘Do Unto Others The Last Thing You Would Have Them Do Unto You’. For example, how many Canadians would want a foreign government to impose a gangster as our most powerful politician? But that’s exactly what this country did... Continue Reading →
The double standard is startling. A publisher whose newspaper is accused of making a questionable link to a horrific 80-year-old crime must be denounced by everyone who attended a large event, but few react to the editor of a paper that denies the existence of a people facing an ongoing injustice that many would label... Continue Reading →
A recent ‘report’ on antisemitism at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine (TFOM) points to Jewish influence, not oppression, within the University of Toronto. Reaction to the dubious article highlights anti-Palestinianism. Recently, TFOM’s outgoing Senior Advisor on Anti-Semitism Ayelet Kuper published “Reflections on addressing antisemitism in a Canadian faculty of medicine” in the Canadian Medical Education... Continue Reading →
The NDP foreign affairs critic recently lauded a notorious anti-Palestinian former Liberal cabinet minister. Heather McPherson’s celebration of Irwin Cotler follows on the heels of her maintaining a more hawkish position on Ukraine than the head of the US military. On Thursday McPherson tweeted about meeting Cotler. She wrote, “this afternoon, Professor Irwin Cotler and... Continue Reading →
In recent years Israel has assassinated Iranian scientists, sabotaged its cyber facilities and backed opposition groups. The nuclear armed state has also repeatedly bombed Iranian targets in Syria. Yet the mainstream media and our government never criticizes Israel’s effort to destabilize a regime that offers some resistance to its domination of the region. Instead, Canada... Continue Reading →
Canadian Zionists regularly seek to erase Palestinians’ very existence but charge antisemitism if a Palestinian employs harsh rhetoric to decry supporters of Israeli colonialism. “On campuses today, hatred against Israel is out in force”, tweeted Avi Benlolo, former head of Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre (FSWC) Canada. “AGPIworld.com continues to monitor the situation and get... Continue Reading →
Irwin Cotler has long been an aggressive proponent of Israeli apartheid. But the crass nature of his anti-Palestinian activism may be thwarting the efficacy of his position as Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, which is designed to not-so subtlety protect Israel from criticism. On Monday I discovered that Cotler is scheduled... Continue Reading →
Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism is designed to protect Israel from growing criticism of its violence, colonialism and apartheid. That was confirmed by the envoy hiring an individual found by a McGill University inquiry to have fabricated claims of antisemitism to smear Palestine solidarity activists. In his recent statement on... Continue Reading →
As more and more Canadians, including university students across the country, oppose Israel’s apartheid policies. the Liberals devoted millions of dollars in the recent federal budget to strengthen anti-Palestinian forces. They put up $5.6 million over five years for Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism. The position was created a... Continue Reading →
