Activist Arrested, Gets To Talk About It

Montreal-based author and guerilla-style political provocateur Yves Engler talks about his recent arrest and subsequent imprisonment in Montreal’s Bordeaux Prison (something police originally tried to block him from doing), and what he’d rather talk about than his five days and four nights of forcible confinement. And, another Canadian’s account of the funeral of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, brutally assassinated by apartheid Israel. Another conversation with Dimitri Lascaris





Dear Mr. Trudeau

Starvation and famine in Gaza. A UN expert speaks out. And, a group of Canadian lawyers demand that the Trudeau government stop supporting Israeli genocide.


Arms Bizarre & Killer Drones

Fear and loathing in Doha. Merchants of death and their state clients hobnob. An intrepid Canadian journalist captures it all on his smart phone. The GPM speaks with Dimitri Lascaris about his experience. On the other side of the planet, in Ottawa, the Canadian military shops for surveillance drones that can kill. We speak about killer surveillance drones with Matt Korda, from the Federation of American Scientists.


Landmark Ruling in The Hague

A victory for South Africa and the Palestinian people at the International Court of Justice. State parties to the 1948 Genocide Convention will now have to act, starting with Israel’s friends. One of those friends is Canada, with famously double standards.


Canada Stands On Guard

The Canadian military shops for surveillance drones that can kill. The GPM speaks with arms researcher Matt Korda. The Canadian government slaps sanctions on a Russian discussion group. Who’s disinforming whom, University of Manitoba political scientist Radhika Desai asks? And, Canadian activist Dimitri Lascaris calls on real leftists to challenge fake peaceniks on the right.


Old Nazis & International Law

A small Canadian lake records humanity’s impact on Planet Earth. On the floor of Canada’s House of Commons, an old Nazi veteran gets a standing ovation. And, when official enemies are to blame, Canada calls for justice. For a beloved ally, Canada calls for justice to be suspended.
