Say no to sportswashing Israel's crimes
Our governments have long been aware of the importance of sport to the national psyche.
For Australians, the TDU should be an occasion for national pride and not a time of shame. We must ensure that iconic Australian sporting events are not used by political ideologies like Zionism. #auspol #TDU #cycling #zionism

Why is the Israeli military still recruiting in Canada?
There’s a Canadian law that makes it illegal for the armed forces of any foreign state to recruit soldiers within our borders, but you’d never know it the way Israel and its supporters operate within ...
Canada’s Foreign Enlistment Act makes it illegal to recruit for foreign armies on Canadian soil, yet Israeli military recruitment has taken place here for generations, often in plain sight. The law is clear. The political will to enforce it is not.

Israel's final Gaza solution
Reports of a shocking Israeli Gaza solution that aims to ethnically cleanse Gaza of all Palestinians by establishing so-called Humanitarian Transit Areas or concentration camps has surfaced in Israeli and other media.
We must stop Israel. We must redouble our efforts and take every action possible to pressure the Albanese Government to take a stand at this late stage, to act, to uphold international law and the ICJ ruling. @petersc2u #auspol #Israel #Palestine #BDS

Carney promised resistance and delivered retreat
Carney became prime minister on the backs of progressive voters desperate to stop a Trump–Poilievre axis from sweeping North America. But so far, his policies have served mainly to placate Trump and v...
Carney ran against Trump’s ‘Conservative buddies,’ then governed as their collaborator. Military spending hikes, Big Tech tax cuts, and anti-Indigenous bills reveal the truth: his base was always capital, not Canadians.

Not to mention deep public service cuts, which will further weaken state capacity.
In comparative and Canadian political science, we have developed a good understanding of what nation-building is, and what it requires. All of this doesn’t fit the bill.

NEW: While Ottawa considers spending 5% of GDP on defence, it should ask itself why we spend only 0.2% of GDP on our universities.

Liberal plan to cut $13B a dangerous fantasy

The empty case for Canada’s 5% defence pledge
The priorities of our political leaders can be very hard to understand. Western countries are suffering years of economic stagnation, deteriorating public services, and a host of other problems. Yet o...
Canada’s push to hike defence spending to 5% of GDP isn’t driven by strategic necessity—it’s political theater. The government can’t point to credible threats justifying this massive expenditure, nor explain how it would make Canadians safer.

Reminder that Carney has a minority government that has not tabled a budget in parliament. Just committing us to a massive increase in military spending that will be paid for through extractive industries and cuts to public services.

To be clear, the problem isn’t the digital services tax.There are *always* irritants in the Canada-US relationship. If it wasn’t the DST, it would’ve been something else.
Carney is negotiating outside the USMCA with an untrustworthy partner, for temporary relief. It’s a foolish disastrous strategy.

Mark Carney is no wartime homebuilder

NEW: Contrary to his assertions, Carney’s housing plan does not replicate WWII-era housing policies. In fact, it does just the opposite. It continues the legacy of corporate welfare that replaced this nation’s heroic wartime housing efforts.

My Clash with Dan Cohen
Should anti-Zionism criticize Jews or should it try to create a distinction between Jews and Israelis? An online skirmish presented an opportunity to clarify my position on a cardinal issue
Should anti-Zionism address or deny Jewish responsibility and guilt for Zionism’s crimes? My opinion on this issue is very clear, and I’m happy to share it with you

Trudeau (+NDP/CPC...) condemned the strategic security (economic, military) of all canadians by choosing the imperial/neocolonial economic war on China + proxy war on Russia. Even Australian elites were more pragmatic and are working with Beijing. Unilateral suicide with DC is still suicide.

Pensions tied to the USD system are doomed. A brief look at asian bond markets vs the US, and DC self destructiveness in financial and monetary policies would force sovereign elites to act accordingly. But isn't the US embassy our real executive/legislative head? Trump is a last chance to wake up.

Of course this "journalistic" piece by our state propaganda outlet omits the broader context, the geopolitical economy and the ideological choices of our ruling class.
Canadian economy (industrial, extractive or fin) should decouple from the decaying empire ASAP.
