(Updated) Hate Speech: The Infamous Jenny Peto Discredits Anti-Oppression Struggles…
Update: I originally described Richard Klagsbrun as a conservative- he has corrected me that his views are more centrist/libertarian- I can see that, he’s a very reasonable person… ——————- I was walking through the crowd at last night’s anti Jewish National Fund rally (as an observer) quietly filming the crowd when I heard someone behind …

No One Is Illegal, Jason Kenney, Parti Quebecois, And Anti-Racist Hypocrisy…
According to NOW Toronto, No One Is Illegal (NoII) is the best of Toronto’s activist organizations. NoII led the pack of Black Bloc anarchists during the G20, it was a day few will forget considering the amount of damage and violence that occurred. It wasn’t until I understood that NOW has Trotskyist roots that their decision …

Canada, Foreign Powers & The Great Game…
I read an interesting story in the Gulf News today- The Beginning Of A Great Game In Afghanistan. The article discusses how “regional states (are) busy carving out their respective spheres of influence.” Basically, everyone is fighting for their slice of the pie. It’s an interesting story, and has some parallels with what’s happening in Canada- …

Iran: Will Canada’s Shot Be Heard Around The World?
I was at St James Park yesterday, about to do something rather fun and exciting. A friend sent me a message that Canada’s withdrawing diplomatic staff from Iran. It felt a lot like the moment I learned about 9/11 from an email. All that it said was “I guess we’re at war now”. I’ve …

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 …

How The Marxists Are Trying To Hijack Toronto’s Gay Pride..
I was involved with the early stages of putting together FreeGeek in Vancouver– it was an exciting cause that I couldn’t help but jump into when I heard about the first meeting. I moved to Montreal by the time things really got rolling- but, watching from afar, I got my first taste of seeing a …

Sakura Saunders & George Soros- Lovers In A Marxist Paradise… (featuring Franklin Lopez!)
I knew I was really onto something when I wrote my first story on Sakura Saunder’s ProtestBarrick.net. It seems that I really hit a nerve- because, the next day, she dedicated the first-ever of the hijacked Occupy Toronto general assemblies to your’s truly! They should have called the meeting ProtestGreg.net! What an honour! Equally, it was a …

Report From Today’s Pro-Palestinian Rally In Toronto…
It was a beautiful day for a demonstration- warm, sunny and just lovely. Today’s event was in Toronto, across the street from the US embassy. It was primarily about the Israel/Palestine issue, but a number of people there were also promoting that Canada pull-out of the war in Afghanistan (a position I totally agree with, …
