Challenging Israeli Military Recruitment
Dec. 20, 2020, 2:51 p.m.
Since the Spanish Civil War, Canada has had a law on the books banning recruitment in foreign armies. The only exception is recruitment by foreign power of their own citizens in Canada.
But in June 2020, the Israeli Consulate in Toronto organized a celebration of Canadians serving in the Israeli Defense Forces. In addition, an Israeli soldier spoke at a Jewish parochial school in Toronto to encourage students to join the IDF.
The Canadian Foreign Policy Institute, PAJU, and Just Peace Advocates have joined together to demand that the Canadian government / RCMP take action to stop this illegal recruitment.

A sovereign Canada would release Meng, win respect of the world
Dec. 18, 2020, 9:44 p.m.
Phil Taylor discusses two related issues: the response to COVID-19, and the necessary response to Canada's arrest of Meng Wanzhou.
There has been in North America a half-hearted approach to fighting COVID. The WHO advocated against half-measures, but because we have a capitalist system, the perceived interests of business were placed ahead of public safety. We aren't supposed to mention China's success in combating the epidemic.
Makes you wonder, which states respect the right-to-life, and which respect business?
The issues of class and race are all over this story, but aren't addressed directly in the press.
------------
Phil also discusses the Meng Wanzhou case. There is an idea that Joe Biden might rescue this case. It brings to mind Michael Hudson's statement on Moderate Rebels that "Canada is not a country anymore...it's become a U.S. satellite." To solve the issue of Meng, we need to be a country.
If we want to preserve 'rule-of-law,' the Attorney General should release Meng Wanzhou. That would be seen as a sovereign country exercising its authority. We can see from the debacle in Vancouver that Meng's rights were violated. Canada could win world-wide respect if we acted as a sovereign country.
The maniac pundits on the CBC say in chorus that "it's time to become hardline." Well, we became hardline when we intercepted Meng. We bit China. Trump laughed. You want to fight a bully? You've got one.
Phil analyses revealing details of FBI, RCMP, Border Services collusion in the Meng Wanzhou matter, details largely ignored in mainstream media.

Ali Abunimah on the "Deal of the Century" and ongoing imperialist attacks on Palestine
Dec. 18, 2020, 11:02 a.m.
This is Part 2 of Ali Abunimah speaking at the NY Forum on The Deal of The Century and the Ongoing Imperialist Attacks on Palestine.
The full description, copied from Part 1, is as follows:
Today we bring back one of the most progressive, and passionate Palestinian activists at work today in the US and around the world: Ali Abunimah, co-founder and driving force behind the Palestinian news service, The Electronic Intifada. He spoke at the New York Forum a few weeks ago for an hour and a half. He was introduced and prompted by a woman identifying herself as Maryanne of the People's Plan, NYC (peoplesculturalplan.org).
Usually we would edit such a long presentation down to fit into the time frame for our program, but this is such fabulous, organic presentation that we decided to broadcast the entire recording over two weeks of This Week in Palestine. If you miss one of them you can always go to our archive at truthandjusticeradio.org and find the missing piece.

Quebec Unions Led a Political Fight That Outlawed Tier-Wage Systems
Dec. 17, 2020, 6:59 p.m.
At least 90% of workers at the newly-reopened GM truck plant in Oshawa will be paid $23.67, less than 65% of the rate of the few UNIFOR members left who were hired before 2016. This tiered-wage system translates into a monetary windfall for GM. It also creates divisions in the union, as the new workers earn less for doing the same work and receive fewer benefits and inferior pensions. Tiered wages started in the 1990s in the parts plants owned by the big 3 automakers. The UAW then agreed to it for the Auto majors in 2007 and UNIFOR agreed to it for GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler in Canada in 2009.
Two-tier wages have been illegal in Quebec since 2001, discrimination on the basis of length of seniority is against the Labour Act. This great achievement of Quebec workers hasnât been talked about enough by most union leaders in English-Canada (the Steelworkers are a notable exception). Quebec workers achieved a further victory in 2018, when their government outlawed discrimination in pensions as well.
