I wrote one of my MediaWatch stories last week covering an article written by Sandy Garossino in the Vancouver Observer. The Observer is an online newspaper that was founded by Linda Solomon, the sister of TIDES Canada’s vice-chair Joel Solomon- it is commonly known that this paper is firmly in TIDES country. So, it …

OPSEU’s Sylvanna Peterson Has Resigned (Autistic children rejoice!)
If you were reading my stories back in June you would remember my series of articles about how the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) was promoting the use of martial arts gear against autistic children in the Simcoe County School District.

Pussy Riot: A Lesson For Canadian Activists…
One of the things I’m most sick & tired of hearing from privileged Canadian protesters is how they continuously drone on about how Canada is an oppressive and unfair country. Honestly, this sort of complaining is an insult to people who live in oppressive countries. If you have any doubt, talk to the members of Pussy …

United Church & Israel: Should Religions Be Getting Tax Exemptions For Political Activities?
A story came out today about how the United Church has voted to boycott goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Hate Crimes: How The Radical Left Is Making Things Worse…
Having observed Canada’s radical left for the past year, I am continually astounded how they have perverted the causes of human rights. Instead of working to stop abuse and profiling, it seems the me that they spend more time using the causes of racism, sexism, ableism & homophobia as blunt weapons to attack people who …

Strange Bedfellows: Truth Movement Activists & PressTV
One of the things about the Truth movement that confounds me the most is how many of it’s members have taken a liking to PressTV. High-profile ‘truthers’ like Webster Tarpley, Alfred Webre, and wingnuts like Professor Anthony Hall & Joshua Blakeney have all had multiple appearances on PressTV. Considering PressTV is the propaganda wing of …

MediaWatch: Grouchy Garossino’s Logical Fallacy Folly
I first encountered Sandy Garossino on Twitter when I found her taking a personal attack on someone in defence of the TIDES Foundation: The funny thing is about this posting that it was Garossino who brought the word ‘terrorist’ into the conversation- the other people involved hadn’t. I thought this was strange, and it …

MediaWatch: Professor Anthony James Hall & The Stó:lō Fish Story
So, the Stó:lō fish story continues- this time on the PressTV supported publication Veterans Today. Anthony James Hall, a professor at the University of Lethbridge, writes for Veterans Today, and has often appeared on PressTV- both publications have been backing the Stó:lō fish story. The big question I’ve been wondering is why has a government owned Iranian …
