Acclaimed journalist Robert Fife wants to see Palestinians eradicated. Or at least that’s the logic of his outrageous smear on social media. Recently the Globe and Mail’s Ottawa Bureau Chief posted to X “A Pogrom Is Brewing in Canada”. Fife linked to an article with that headline published in a forcefully genocidal US publication. The...

An odd, very strange Canadian nationalism that includes Israel
Why don’t nationalists push back on certain foreign smears against Canada? Why doesn’t the “Canada First” crowd complain when private schools have kids sing a foreign anthem? Why don’t pushers of military readiness denounce Canadians who join a foreign army? Why does our government give tax deductions for “charities” that break Canadian law and/or our...

Selective human rights ‘defender’ Cotler promotes war with Iran
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 →

Canadian foreign policy is broadly driven by two main factors: support for empire (historically British and today US) and... Continue Reading →
Why does NDP support US neocons’ position on China?
Does the NDP want war with China? Party officials would deny it, but they are promoting measures that increase the likelihood of an apocalyptic conflict. In recent weeks the NDP has jumped on the ‘China interference’ bandwagon. In dozens of statements Jagmeet Singh, Heather McPherson, Peter Julian, Alexandre Boulerice and other party officials have hyped... Continue Reading →
To see real foreign influence, check out Canada’s military
If you believe the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and Conservatives, the Chinese own a backbench Liberal MP, which has been front page news recently. But no one mentions Washington’s possession of our military. According to a leak reportedly from CSIS, the Chinese consulate in Toronto assisted Han Dong win the Liberal party nomination for...

Globe & Mail fearmongers about foreign influence while ignoring US government funding to Uighur Rights groups in Canada
It’s curious how Globe and Mail reporters troubled by foreign influence over Canadian politics regularly turn to US-government-funded groups in this country. Are they aware of this irony? Or is their purported concern about foreign influence really about demonizing China? According to a recent article by Robert Fife and Steven Chase, the Trudeau government is... Continue Reading →
