    By Stefan Christoff
    Editor’s note: This article was written before Saif al-Arab Gaddafi, the youngest son of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, was reported killed in a Nato air strike on April 30, 2011. Three of the elder Gaddifi’s grandchildren were also reported killed by the strike on the family compound in Tripoli.
    As Canada enters the final days in 2011 election campaigning, politicians streaking across the country have offered little more than resounding silence on Canada’s military (…)

  • Canada’s Massive Military Budget Is Off The Table In Federal Election
    29 April 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    Among many substantive issues not discussed during campaign 2011 is the $23 billion Canada now spends on war, a massive investment that all three major federal parties will maintain if elected.
    Add in the ongoing costs of the Afghanistan war plus undisclosed funding for Canada’s bombardment of Libya (well over 200 aerial bombing runs and aerial "sorties" to date), and the $23 billion figure may run higher.
    To put this in perspective, slightly more than $63 million a day is spent on (…)

  • Canadians to reelect plutocrat Stephen Harper
    27 April 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    According to the most recent polls, Canada’s prime minister Stephen Harper will be reelected.
    Stephen Harper, the up to the task guy when the US needs Canada in a war, has warned that in a troubled world we need a stable gouvernment because, as he said, Canada is the closest thing to an island of stability and security.
    What Harper did not say is the fact that plutocrats like him are no stranger to the destablization of the rest of the world. And Canada’s stability is an illusion when (…)

  • Jack Layton the All-Canadian
    24 April 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    Here he is going up in the polls. Jack Layton, leader of the NDP, is the talk of the country. He is according to the most recent polls the most popular party leader in Canada.
    We still do not know if that will translate by more votes and more MPs in may for the neo democrats.
    After five years of conservative policies, meaning policies favorizing finance and business instead of the needs of the people, Canadians maybe are ready for something else and the NDP and Jack Layton are the ones (…)

  • Canada: Israel’s New Military Ally
    4 April 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    Why Canada has made itself Israel’s new friend on the block By Lia Tarachansky
    It used to be that when you counted Israel’s top allies, the obvious names came to mind: Germany, the UK and, of course, the US. These days, Canada seems determined to soar to the top of that list, confirming the judgment of Avigdor Lieberman, Israel’s Foreign Minister. While visiting Canada in 2009 he said, “Canada is so friendly that there was no need to convince or explain anything to anyone… We need allies (…)

    "Canada’s social democratic party, the New Democratic Party (NDP) issued a statement on February 22, calling on the UN Security Council, that is for the great powers, to establish a no-fly zone over Libya and continued to repeat this demand, even as top US officials spelled out clearly that a no-fly zone was commensurate with war. The NDP’s demand has now been realized and with the social democrats’ blessing in the only forum that it could have ever been realized by, the (…)
