Never in my existence would I have expected to tell a story about being attacked by a union. The worst thing that ever happened to me was that I was hit with a tomato while entering the building of a client who was in a labour dispute. But, then came my involvement in the Occupy …

There were two things one was attacked for criticising at Occupy Toronto & Occupy Vancouver- Black Bloc anarchists and the group’s relationship with the unions. At first, when I was in Vancouver, I thought that the two subjects were unrelated. But, once I was in Toronto, it quickly became apparent both groups are closely related. …

I first became interested in what is happening at the Six Nations when I heard about Kevin Annett- a con artist who lied to the world about finding a mass grave of children’s bones nearby an old indian residential school. Through my investigation into Annett, the more I learned about people who are influencing …

TMC are mostly anarchists- so much of their content is thoroughly anti-police. If they had their way there never would have been any police, nor police cars, in our society. Considering this, I’m wondering if any of them can see the irony in their article titled Auto Manufacturing Workers at a Crossroads. Did they actually print …

A couple weeks ago I got into the start of a conversation about the Steelworker’s union and it’s Marxist roots with two of Canada’s most prominent union Economists- what a delight! It all began when I made a response to an article written by Jim Stanford on the Progressive Economics Forum.

Dear Mr. Mulcair, You have a big problem on your hands, as does the rest of the country. True, every political party has its loonies- but, the NDP’s crazies are a danger to our country…

We have a new actor to discuss in the International Socialist’s cast-of-characters. Today I introduce to you Winnie Ng, a professor at Ryerson University who currently holds the chair for the CAW-Sam Gindin Chair in Social Justice and Democracy. Winnie’s seat was previously held by, darling of the Black Bloc Judy Rebick! The deeper I research into …

I’ve been aware of No One Is Illegal (NoII) for a few years now, and I thought it was a strange concept when I first heard of them. After all, how could Canada keep-up it’s social & healthcare safety nets if there was unlimited immigration? Their concept is noble, but it doesn’t appear that …
