Canada’s NDP backs American Empire

NOVANEWS By Yves Engler Does the NDP consistently support a foreign policy that benefits ordinary people around the world? Or does the social democratic party often simply fall in line with whatever the American Empire demands? Hélène Laverdière certainly seems to support the US-led geopolitical order. While the NDP foreign critic has called for stronger arms control measures and regulations on Canada’s international mining industry, she’s aligned with the Empire on issues ranging from Venezuela to Palestine, Ukraine to Syria. Echoing Washington and Ottawa, Laverdière recently attacked the Venezuelan government. “On the heels of Sunday’s illegitimate constituent assembly vote, it’s more important than ever for Canada to work with our allies and through multilateral groups like the OAS ...

Palestinians, B’nai Brith and Canada’s New Democratic Party

NOVANEWS Niki Ashton injects vital ideas and principles into the NDP leadership campaign Niki Ashton. Image credit: Matt Jiggins/ flickr By Prof. Tony Hall Like many NATO countries, Canada has suffered from an impoverishment of free and open debate when it comes to the issue of relations with the Israeli government and the Palestinian people. In country after country the Israeli lobby dominates not only governing parties but opposition parties as well. The Canadian Parliament has epitomized the pattern. Elected federal officials have conspicuously failed to reflect the anxieties felt by many Canadians of conscience who have managed to become well informed on Palestinian-Israeli relations. There has been little in Canadian parliamentary debates or in mainstream media reports to reflec...

Free trade’ has come to mean powerful interests get whatever they want

NOVANEWS By Yves Engler “Free trade” has become a euphemism for “whatever power wants,” no matter how tangentially tied to transferring goods across international borders. In an extreme example, Ottawa recently said its Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Israel trumps Canada’s Food and Drugs Act since accurately labelling two wines might undermine a half-century long, illegal, military occupation. Of little connection to international trade, the North American Free Trade Agreement — and subsequent FTAs — has granted foreign corporations the ability to bypass domestic courts and sue governments in secret tribunals for pursuing policies that interfere with their profit making. Over 75 cases have been brought before the Investor State Dispute Settlement section of NAFTA, which has resulted i...

Canada enables Barrick’s bad corporate behaviour

NOVANEWS By Yves Engler Will the Canadian government continue to support Barrick Gold’s exploitation of mineral resources in Tanzania no matter what abuses the company commits? Would the Trudeau government stop backing the Toronto-based firm if it bilked the impoverished nation out of $10 billion? Or, what if one thousand people were raped and seriously injured by Barrick security? Would Ottawa withdraw its support if one hundred Tanzanians were killed at its mines? Barrick’s African subsidiary, Acacia Mining, is embroiled in a major political conflict in the east African nation. With growing evidence of its failure to pay royalties and tax, Acacia has been condemned by the president, had its exports restricted and slapped with a massive tax bill. In May a government panel concluded t...

Anthony Hall academic freedom court case begins August 8th – Open Letter to University President Mike Mahon

NOVANEWS By Kevin Barrett Here is Andrew Blair’s terrific open letter on academic freedom in general, and the Tony Hall case in particular. – – – An Open Letter to Pres. Mike Mahon on His Suspension of Academic Freedom in Alberta Canada, written and sent by Andrew Blair, Ph.D. The lines of the contention are drawn on the eve of court proceedings beginning on August 8. 4 Aug. 2017 Dr. Mike Mahon, President and Vice-Provost, University of Lethbridge, Alberta Canada Dear. Dr. Mahon; I have always found universities to be the most wonderful of places. There is always so much going on, so much to do, and so much to learn.

Canadian media misleads public about country’s role abroad

NOVANEWS Global Affairs Canada Yves Engler Imagine if the media only reported the good news that governments and corporations wanted you to see, hear and read about. Unfortunately, that is not far from the reality of reporting about Canada’s role internationally. The dominant media almost exclusively covers stories that portray this country positively while ignoring or downplaying information that contradicts this narrative. The result? Canadians are ignorant and confused about their country’s role in the world. In a recent example of the ‘benevolent Canada’ bias, the Globe and Mail reported uncritically about a trip International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau made to the Congo. In a story last week headlined “Canada commits $97-mi...

Ottawa Must Seek Justice for Hassan Diab

NOVANEWS 'By forcing Hassan Diab into legal purgatory, Canada is seriously undermining its commitment to due process' By Bernie M. Farber and Mira Sucharov Toronto Star GR Editor’s Note We bring to the attention of our readers the following opinion article published in theToronto Star. What this analysis raises and which requires further investigation: Was the Harper government elected in 2006, in any way unduly pressured by the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) and B’nai Brith. * * * With the welcome news of the $10-million apology for the travesties committed against Omar Khadr, a decade after the Canadian government apologized and awarded a similar sum to Maher Arar for his tragic ordeal, we know that Canada doesn’t always get it right. Now is the time for Canada ...

Zionist racist accused rapper of uttering hate speech

NOVANEWS The Montreal police hate crimes unit is looking for 35-year-old rapper Jonathan "Madd Cold" Azaziah, accused of promoting 'anti-semitism'. The hate crimes unit of the Montreal police department says the search for a rapper accused of hate speech is a top priority. Zionist racist B’nai Brith, which has been tracking 'anti-Semitic' incidents for 35 years, said rapper Jonathan Azaziah (aka Madd Cold), uses his music to promote antisemitism. "We are pleased that the Montreal Hate Crimes Unit is taking this matter very seriously," said Zionist racist Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of Zionist B'nai Brith Canada. "Azaziah has not only proclaimed his desire to murder Jews but encourages others to do the same. This is perhaps the most clear-cut case of inciteme...

Canadian court upholds $1.7 billion ruling against Iran

NOVANEWS A Canadian court has accused Iran of supporting terrorism, upholding a previous ruling that requires the Islamic Republic to pay around $1.7 billion in damages to “American victims of terrorism.” Ontario’s Court of Appeal rejected Iran’s request to reconsider the ruling on Monday night, arguing that doing so would amount to a breach of Canada’s Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act (JVTA). The JVTA allows victims of terrorism to sue foreign states for damages. The accusation came despite Iran’s firm response to similar cases in the past, where various American and European courts had taken punitive measures against Tehran over unproven claims of complicity in terror. The new case was brought by families of American citizens who had been killed in a series of attacks between 1...
