Barbara Kay: Islamophobe extraordinaireThe Canadian Charger
November 6, 2011
National Post's columnist Barbara Kay hates Jews and Muslims. She wrote a column on Sept 30, 2009 titled "The Jewish enemy within" attacking Naomi Klein calling her "Canada's most famously faithless Jew," and Dr. Diana Ralph, calling her group Independent Jewish Voices an "Israel-hating fringe group," and calling Ralph herself an "anti-Zionist, anti-American conspiracy theorist." And on October 8, 2008 she wrote, "We must know the enemy (Muslims) within to fight." All articles are posted on her blog - for now.
What science says about addictionThe Canadian Charger
November 13, 2011
Addiction is a serious problem in Canada-10% of the population affected, 20% of deaths related to addiction, 10% of hospitalizations, and a cost of $40 billion a year. It was the topic of a lecture at the Royal Ottawa Hospital on November 4, where Dr. Marco Leyton spoke. He is an associate professor at McGill and president of the Canadian College of Neuropsychopharmacology.
NYPD blurring the lines of civil libertiesThe Canadian Charger
November 20, 2011
An ongoing report by the Associated Press has outlined how the NYPD, under the command of the CIA, has "carried out a series of initiatives aimed at the Muslim community of New York, often stalking, profiling and secretly surveying followers of Islam solely based on religion." This has resulted in community leaders advising Muslims to cut any ties they have with the NYPD.
Israeli Pirates capture two CanadiansThe Canadian Charger
November 20, 2011
Piracy has moved from the Horn of Africa up to the Mediterranean. On November 4, Israeli commandos boarded two vessels on the high seas, seized the passengers and crew, and took the vessels and cargo, which were en route to Gaza to deliver medical supplies, challenging the blockade.
A future for health careThe Canadian Charger
December 11, 2011
Health is not just a medical issue. There are social determinants of health, and one of the keys is income distribution, poverty if you will.
Is criticism of Israel or Zionism anti-Semitic?The Canadian Charger
November 27, 2011
London Immigration lawyer Ed Corrigan said his libel case against Will Hector for calling him "one of the worst anti-Semites in Canada and an idiotic spammer," in an email to the Law Union of Ontario (LUO) List forum, will be a precedent setting legal decision on the question: "is criticism of Israel or Zionism anti-Semitic?"
Mental health of immigrantsThe Canadian Charger
November 27, 2011
Providing mental health services to immigrants and refugees is a particular challenge because of the need to understand and deal appropriately with cultural factors different from the Western Judaeo-Christian cultures that Western psychiatry is familiar with. But that is not all. According to Dr. G. Eric Jarvis, a psychiatry professor at McGill, "The patient may be influenced by more than one culture. There is the culture from before immigration as well as the culture which he is more or less integrating into in his new home."
Timely Conference by National Council on Canada Arab RelationsThe Canadian Charger
December 5, 2011
As the guest speaker at the convention of the National Council on Canada Arab Relations held recently in Gatineau, Quebec, Clovis Maksoud electrified the room with his declaration that "as long as Palestine does not enjoy its rights, the whole Arab Spring will not be fulfilled."
Global march on the city of peaceThe Canadian Charger
April 5, 2012
The tension was palpable as some one hundred protesters chanted slogans to mark the first ever Global March on Jerusalem (GMJ), while across Bloor Street, at the corner of Avenue Road, in downtown Toronto, a noticeably smaller group of protesters, led by Meir Weinstein, national director of the Canadian branch of the Jewish Defence League (JDL), denounced those supporting the GMJ.
Complicity in Bahraini RepressionThe Canadian Charger
December 5, 2011
The Arab Spring was attempting to poke its head from under the autocratic cold in sunny Bahrain back in February 2011. Demonstrations broke out in Manama's Pearl Square. Rulers of Bahrain are Sunni, while most Bahrainis are Shi'ite, so of course the charge was that it was all Iranian-inspired. As in the other cases, efforts were made to put the demonstrations down with brute force. Again as elsewhere, the repression was failing. That is, until other forces interfered.
