Being Anti-Zionist in the 1800s is not the same as being Anti-Zionist today, and Today Canada's NDP Party is Riddled with Jew Hatred

To be an anti-Zionist in 2026 is to deny Israel’s right to exist at a time when radical views have permeated the discourse of left-wing parties in Western countries, fuelling political polarization and violence against Jews unseen since the Holocaust. Left-wing denunciations of Israel’s conduct in Gaza, legitimate on their own, are now routinely laced with antisemitic tropes and dog whistles that serve to encourage anti-Israel extremists.

The new NDP president, Niall Ricardo, greeted last fall’s ceasefire in Gaza, which included a plan to prevent Hamas from rebuilding its military capability, by posting: “The only entity that needs deradicalization and disarmament is the one committing genocide: Israel. Zionism is the sin, genocide is the crime.”

The NDP has an antisemitism problem

Recently, there has been more than a whiff of antisemitism about the way the party’s conducting itself

Bravo à @avilewis pour avoir gagné la course à la chefferie pour le #NPD (#NDP) J'ai beaucoup d'espoir en lui et je sais qu'il saura rallier les canadiens derrière le parti avec une offre beaucoup plus à gauche. Je suis franchement très optimiste pour le futur du NPD.

I'd be very proud if Canada had its first Jewish prime minister.

If it's Avi Lewis, I'm leaving the country.

Avi Lewis is the new leader of the federal NDP.

Many #Canadians I know have long considered certain #USAnians - such as those in #Minnesota, #Michigan Upper Peninsula, maybe #Wisconsin - to be unofficial "honorary Canadians". They share many things with Canada, from climate and geography to some aspects of culture, making them more like us than many other parts of the #USA.

There are some who are interested in making this arrangement official, with these parts of the USA becoming Canada's 11th province. I'm not sold on the idea at this point, but it's worth talking about.

I mention this because I would just like to let these potential future Canadians know that should this come to pass, their province will be named South Manitoba. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

🖕 to all the provincial government officials taking Quebec's side in this fight against civil rights.

When Alberta (or anywhere else) makes being trans illegal or some other nuttyness, this will be on you.

Making practicing your religion illegal is incompatible with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The workers are always the ones to suffer when big sporting events like the FIFA World Cup come to town.

"Steve Fanning, an organizer with Service Employees International Union Local 2, said the union has filed several grievances over the alleged toxic work environment with the employer [Mississauga, Ontario-based Dexterra Group].
The union has also filed an unfair labour practice complaint with the BC Labour Relations Board alleging the company withheld pay from unionized workers in an effort to get them to decertify from their union.
[…]
Fanning called on the employer to improve the janitors’ working conditions before the thousands of visitors come to Vancouver for the FIFA World Cup.
“Just imagine how much extra foot traffic there will be on the SkyTrain and going throughout the downtown core, and how much of a strain that puts on workers who are responsible for cleaning up after them,” Fanning said. “In advance of that, to lay off 17 of your janitorial staff just seems ludicrous.”"

I post about Canadian politics. As of just weeks ago, I’m a member of the NDP. And I’ll be posting supportive things about the ideas and actions being proposed by @avilewis and his team. I’ve had it with our neo-liberal policies here in Canada, and capitalism in general.

I’m won’t CW these posts, as I believe that change can only come about when more folks know about the possibilities. But I *will* be using hashtags.

Govern yourselves accordingly. And filter my posts if needed 😀❤️

“Manitoba is the first government in Canada to recognize and address the potential issues with pricing algorithms that use your data against you. A few US states have started moving, but this is a wide-open policy space in Canada. Manitoba is setting the terms of this debate early, instead of waiting until personalized pricing is everywhere and politically untouchable.”
