Howard Zinn on Radical Change
This brief excerpt from Ziga Vodovnik’s interview with Howard Zinn really captures the essence of what “progressives” like ourselves should be doing: ZV: Do you think that a change can be achieved through institutionalized party politics, or only through alternative means - with disobedience, building parallel frameworks, establishing alternative media, etc. HZ: If you work through the existing structures you are going to be corrupted. By working through political system that poisons the atmosphere, even the progressive organizations, you can see…

Postcarbon Age Coming, Top Geophysicist Predicts
Lucky Us? I have just today run across a report that leads me for the first time in a long time to pose the following optimistic question. Is it possible that some important events are conspiring in our favour for a change? By “our” in this case I mean to say the world as a whole. It is always important I think to define who it is one means by we. This welcome change of pace has come about as a…

Harper’s “anti-Semite” Statement, in Conext
As is always the case when Canadian Dimension is critical of Israel, pro-Israeli readers emerge to denounce the magazine’s coverage with complete obfuscation of fact in favour of blunt ideology, the most recent example being Prime Minister Steven Harper’s claims of “anti-Semitism” amongst the opposition. One could staunchly defend Harper’s statement, as our most avid pro-Israeli readers do, or one could place Harper’s comments within its proper context. Harper said there were “anti-Semites” amongst the opposition in reference to a statement…

Harper and “anti-Semitism”
According to Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper”criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic.” Israel apparently is the only country in the world that can torture prisoners, murder innocent civilians, kill children with impunity, assassinate political opponents, ethnically cleanse Palestinians, demolish thousands of Palestinians homes, steal land that individuals have legal title to without compensation, and have policies that are routinely condemned as racist by leading Israeli commentators including the Israeli Supreme Court, and whose human rights abuses are criticized by Israeli human rights…

Afghanistan and Canada: Talking to the deaf
If Canada is asserting itself as a “middle power,” its government has consistently acted as if it were a superpower. The war in Afghanistan is only the latest in a number of historical precedents indicating Canada is simply partner to behemoth. One historical precedent that comes to mind is the reassessment of Canada’s participation in NATO as part of Trudeau’s 1968 election promise. Reading statements from ‘69, the tone of the discussion comes off as woefully idealistic given today’s foreign policy.…

Canada in Iraq
Not surprisingly, Canadian press was scornful of Chretien for “not acting swiftly enough” to protect the country’s national interest following 9/11. CanWest director David Asper insured that the wardrums raged in his 13 dailies and 11 television stations in eight provinces, which reach 94 per cent of English-speaking Canadians. Canada was slow to react, Asper said, because of a “latent stream of anti-Americanism that’s become part of Canadian culture.” It was, according to Asper and his mass media army, anti-American at…
