Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded March 15th, 2023. Last week, Canada's Ministry of National Defence announced a "review of our Defence Policy". Though only five years into the Liberals' 20-year Defence Policy Update, or "(DPU", DoD insists a new DPU is necessary if Canada is to, "be ready, resilient, and relevant to meet any threat in this changed global security environment". Dimitri Lascaris is a Montreal-based activist, journalist, and lawyer. He served as Justice Critic in the Shadow Cabinet of the Green Party of Canada and likewise for the Green Party of Quebec (PVQ). In 2020, Dimitri very nearly became leader of the Green Party of Canada, finishing second in a tightly-contested race with the now-departed Annamie Paul. Dimitri's interviews for TRNN are at TheRealNews.com, and his articles appear at his website, DimitriLascaris.org. This Saturday, March 18th, Dimitri will host 'The Art of Peace: Seeing the World Through the Eyes of Our 'Enemies'. The Special Webinar is his way of engaging with Canadians before embarking on a mission of peace to Russia next month. Dimitri Lascaris in the first half. And; there was a time, not so long ago, war profiteers where held to be exemplars of humanity's basest instincts: Antitheses of Virtue, the very worst of the worst of Evil Doers, they were rightly and roundly despised. Now though, CEO's of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon and Boeing and Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics and all their lesser factotums are welcome and well-treated in the halls of power and major media teevee studios alike. Today, the profiteers need never fear official opprobrium, or being called to account for the bitter harvest of their dark seeds - at least not in the courts of the land. But there's another weighing of justice at hand. The Merchant of Death War Crimes Tribunal is coming - soon - and it promises to hold accountable the manufacturers of the weapons that kill combatants and non-combatants alike through the testimony of witnesses to the destruction wreaked and the crimes committed against Humanity with them. Brad Wolf is co-founder of the Peace Action Network of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, an affiliate of Peace Action and a partner of World BEYOND War. He's a lawyer, former prosecutor, professor, community college dean, and full-time activist for peace and justice. His writings are published at The Progressive, Common Dreams, CounterPunch, Antiwar.com, Consortium News, and Dappled Things among others. He recently authored a book on former priest, Philip Berrigan's collected writings, 'A Ministry of Risk'. He's also a key organizer with the Tribunal. Brad Wolf and attaching the human costs to the Merchants of Death in the second half. But first, Dimitri Lascaris and seeing the World and ourselves through the eyes of our "enemies".

This week on Open Sources Guelph. we're coming home for Christmas (at least so far as the news is concerned). We're going to Alberta where there's some interesting new legislation to parse, and then we will catch-up with our old friends in the Green Party who also made some interesting choices. In Guelph though, we're going to sit down with another new city councillor to talk about local issues big and small. This Thursday, December 8, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Alberta First. Despite the numerous problems they're facing, the first bill brought to the floor by the new(ish) Alberta government was the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act. Premier Danielle Smith says that the bill will give Alberta more control over its own destiny, and almost everyone else thinks it's an undemocratic power grab. Is a potential constitutional crisis a good move six months before an election? Till You're Old and May... Elizabeth May has been returned to the head of the Green Party of Canada, but this time she has a young sidekick, Jonathan Pedneault. The co-leader arrangement is meant to buttress the charge that the party's looking backwards, especially after all the accusations and missteps during the leadership of Annamie Paul, but here's the real question: Does Canada still need a national Green Party? Linda-gram. As we continue our journey around the new Guelph City Council table, we come to the new rep from the Quatro! This week, we're joined by Ward 4 City Councillor Linda Busuttil who will talk to us about her transition to council from the school board, transferring her community activism in the west end to her new role, and the big debates she's anticipating when council opens the budget in the new year. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded December 10th, 2022. As the war in Ukraine grinds on one casualty of the conflict rarely discussed is that on the environment, both in the war zone and beyond it. War and the preparation for war is one of the most ecologically costly of all human endeavours - not only because of the vast amounts of nature laid waste in the production of tanks and planes, and bombs and bullets, but also for the diversion of the time and talents of legions of scientists, engineers, and others which would be better occupied working on solutions to the precarious moment humanity finds itself in. Dimitri Lascaris is a Montreal-based activist, journalist, and lawyer. He very nearly became leader of the Green Party of Canada, finishing second in a tightly-contested race with the now-departed Annamie Paul. Dimitri's interviews for TRNN are at TheRealNews.com, and his articles appear at his website, DimitriLascaris.org, where I found his recent piece, 'As Ukraine War Escalates, the Climate Movement Goes AWOL'. Dimitri Lascaris in the first half. And; the nature of the conflict in Ukraine has been mischaracterized from the start. How and why we find ourselves at the precipice of perhaps the final war cannot be gleaned reading, watching, or listening to a western press which has, by turns, acted as propagandist and cheerleader for World War III. And, understanding that has never been more vital than it is now. Dan Kovalik is a lawyer, educator, labour, peace, and justice activist, democracy defender, journalist, author, and filmmaker. His book titles include: ‘Cancel This Book: The Progressive Case Against Cancel Culture,' the “Plot to” series on American efforts to undermine the governments and economies of Iran, Venezuela, Russia, and the World entirely. His latest is, ‘No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using ‘Humanitarian' Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interest.' Dan's just back from a fact-finding mission to Russia and the Eastern Republics of Ukraine. Dan Kovalik and life in World War time in the second half. But first, Dimtri Lascaris and Canada's Green movement, missing in action when needed most. Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, broad/webcasting since 1999.

The 2021 federal election is one the Greens would like to forget, as the party failed to run a full slate of candidates and captured only two seats and 2.3% of the vote. It was a disastrous showing that followed months of internal turmoil.Now the Greens are trying to find a replacement for former leader Annamie Paul — and haven't seemed to put their internal divisions behind them. The low-key leadership race features a lot of new faces, one familiar face in former leader Elizabeth May and a concept borrowed from Green parties overseas: co-leaders.To discuss how the contest is shaping up, on this week's episode of The Writ Podcast I'm joined by the CBC's David Thurton, who has been following this race closely.As always, in addition to listening to the episode in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this discussion on YouTube.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Topics Include: Should we be worried about Pierre Poilievre's depiction of mainstream media and the subsequent backlash from his online supporters? Ontario spending billions more this year Bill 12 wage-cap faces court challenge this week And more GUEST: John Best, Publisher of The Bay Observer - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday praised China's “balanced position” on the Ukraine war, though he conceded Beijing had “questions and concerns” over the invasion, in what appeared to be a veiled admission of their diverging views over the protracted military assault. Putin made the comments when meeting Chinese leader Xi Jinping in person for the first time since the invasion at a regional summit in Uzbekistan, days after Russia suffered a series of major military setback in Ukraine. Russian troops are retreating en mass, having lost more territory in a week than they captured in five months. GUEST: Thomas Hughes, Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Canadian Defence and Security Network - It started to look as though the Green Party of Canada might claw its way out of the rabbit hole it dug when Annamie Paul, one of its top assets — and the first Black Canadian and first Jewish woman to lead a federal political party in Canada — was essentially chased out of its ranks. In the latest news, a misgendering incident during a Zoom event reveals just how hopelessly deranged the party has become, consumed by the most toxic tendencies of modern progressive movements. How did a zoom meeting propel Canada's green party into another meltdown? GUEST: Peggy Mash, Former NDP Finance Critic, and author of Women Winning Office: An Activist's Guide to Getting Elected available May 2022
It's a tale of two leadership races.The Conservatives look likely to settle on Pierre Poilievre as their next leader based on newly-published fundraising figures. While he's been around the party for his entire adult life, he will nevertheless take the Conservatives in a new direction — and apparently fill the party coffers in the process.The Greens, on the other hand, might just head in reverse. After resigning as leader of the party in 2019, Elizabeth May is considering a return to the party's top job as it searches for a replacement for Annamie Paul. But is Elizabeth May what the Greens, who are stagnant in the polls and struggling to raise money, really need to take them forward?Joining me on The Writ Podcast this week to discuss these two leadership races is the CBC's Aaron Wherry.

In January 2021, Roman Baber—then a rookie Progressive Conservative MPP—was booted from caucus by Doug Ford after opposing his government's COVID-19 vaccine mandates and provincial lockdowns. Fast-forward just over a year, and Baber, who continued to sit as an independent in Ontario's legislature after that ejection, announced he would seek the leadership of the federal Conservative party. He's something of a maverick candidate. He staunchly opposes vaccine mandates, supports the trucker convoy and is one of the few Conservative politicians speaking out against Canada's strict supply management of dairy products. If elected party leader—and ultimately prime minister—he would scrap the carbon tax; fire the chief public health officer, Theresa Tam; and be the first Jewish prime minister in the country's history. In this wide-reaching interview, Baber discusses his concerns over Canada's economy, his immigrant journey moving from the former Soviet Union to Israel before settling in Canada, and whether he's afraid of suffering the same kind of antisemitism that brought down Green leader Annamie Paul.

Hello, and welcome to rabble radio! It's the week of Friday, December 3, 2021. The top stories of this week include the Liberal government's ban on conversion therapy finally passing the House with unanimous consent, both Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford received failing grades on their environmental policy, and, Syrian refugees need Canada to act. Has it forgotten them? Rabble breaks down the news of the day from a progressive lens. It's a good place to catch up and catch on to what's happening in Canadian politics, activism, environment, and so much more. Listen to us on Apple podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. We catch you up on the news of the week and take you further into the stories that matter to you. This week on the show, we're bringing you a segment of our monthly live politics panel: Off the Hill. This month, the theme is Games of the Throne. Libby Davies and Robin Browne host guests MP Leah Gazan, poet and scholar El Jones, Indigenous activist and writer Clayton Thomas-Müller and rabble's own national senior politics reporter Karl Nerenberg. Parliament is back, and our guests unpack the speech from the throne and what it means for activists. If you can believe it, this is the final show of 2021, and our panel looks back at the year that was — and takes a look forward to the new year. Take a listen: (OFF THE HILL) That was a clip from our live politics panel which took place last night, on Thursday, Dec. 2. Thanks to all who tuned in and to our wonderful guests for their insight. Stay tuned for details about January's Off the Hill panel early in the new year. Now, it's time for: IN CASE YOU MISSED IT. This week at rabble, national politics reporter Stephen Wentzell covered two huge milestones for the 2SLGBTQ movement in Canada. First, a trans person became a leader of a major federal political party for the very first time when the Green Party of Canada appointed Amita Kuttner as its leader. Kuttner, 30, is the youngest, first trans person, and first person of east Asian descent to lead a national political party. Kuttner, who uses they/them pronouns, calls the appointment an “honour and a serious responsibility.” They succeed Annamie Paul, the first Black and Jewish leader of a major federal party, who departed as leader amid controversy and major internal strife. Wednesday was another day of hope for the 2SLGBTQ community, when the House of Commons unanimously passed Bill C-4, an Act that, if passed, will criminalize so-called "conversion therapy" in Canada. A conversion therapy ban had been set to pass through the Senate late last summer, but fell off the order paper when Parliament was dissolved for the election. The new legislation goes further than its predecessor, however, as it bans the harmful practice for children as well as adults. The unanimous vote in the House of Commons was noteworthy, as previously, there were 62 votes against the legislation from Conservative Party members. For Mike Smith, a survivor of conversion “therapy,” the ban means others won't have to suffer like they did, Wentzell reports. Smith was subjected to efforts to change their sexual orientation and gender identity at the age of 18, and suffered horrific trauma as a result. Read more at rabble.ca. Also this week: Karl Nerenberg reports on the failing grades received by both the Trudeau and Ford governments. Two days after the Trudeau government presented a throne speech that was disappointingly weak on plans to combat climate change, the federal environment commissioner blasted Canada's emissions reduction record. On that same day, Ontario auditor general (AG) Bonnie Lysyk reported that the Doug Ford government would not achieve even a fifth of the emission reductions it has promised to achieve by 2030 if it stays the course. Krystal Kraus writes about the need for the activist community to confront death and to develop new strategies for mutual and communal support for those in the movement who might be struggling with mental illness. She reflects on activists in the Toronto activist community who have died in recent years, and writes about the lessons each of them taught her. Columnist Rachel Snow wants Canadian settlers to ask themselves what they really know about the First Nations who reside in Canada. "The truth is that Canada does not see or understand First Nation people," Snow writes. "In fact, Canada has lumped together First Nations, Inuit and Métis into a potent mixture; Canada labels us “our” Indigenous peoples, as if this broad group could ever be possessed by the colonial state."

The last time we featured Celina Caesar-Chavannes on the “Race, Health & Happiness” podcast was way back in 2019, when we were preparing to launch the first season of the show. At the time Celina was an elected Member of Canadian Parliament, and she was fierce and outspoken about who she was, and the issues that she cared about. From the outside, it would have seemed that she was on top of the world. But that just wasn't the case, the truth was much more nuanced, and even ugly, as you will hear in this episode. Being in the political sphere broke Celina down, and she eventually decided to leave politics and rebuild her spirit. Celina went on to write a book about her experiences, (https://www.celinacc.ca/book/) after reading it I wondered, how is Celina doing today? How does she reconcile all that has happened in the past couple of years? So I decided to give Celina a call, and the first part of this episode is that conversation.The second part of this special episode is a "Race, Health & Happiness" throwback! It's my original interview with Celina from October 2019, after she had left the Canadian liberal party. We decided to bring back this gem after yet another Black woman, Annamie Paul resigned as the leader of the Green Party this year. A troubling but empowering pattern of Black women saying enough is enough. There is healing and wisdom in that so we're bringing it back! - Dr. OView our ShowNotes for more information.

This week on the show, we're talking about the absence of agriculture from Canada's political discourse. Of course, during an election campaign that was only five weeks long, it's hard to fit everything in, but rabble columnist Lois Ross makes the case for turning our politicians' relatively scattered attention span to agriculture. It's not an issue that necessarily garners the most headlines, but it is an issue that intersects with some of the most pressing crises of our time: climate change, worker's rights, globalization, and ever-increasing market concentration. Food systems are crucial to our survival but are becoming increasingly precarious due to climate disasters, supply-chain disruptions, and the environmental impacts of land concentration. Farmers, of course, are crucial to food systems. In her latest column for rabble, Lois makes the case for a basic guaranteed income for farmers, touches on the need for co-operatives in farming, and warns us that simply due to a matter of median age, in the next ten years, more than half of Canada's farmers will be retiring. This is no simple matter. Lois has spent the past 30 years working in Communications for a variety of non-profit organizations in Canada, including the North-South Institute. Born into a farm family in southern Saskatchewan and trained as a journalist and photographer, she is the author of both fiction and non-fiction books. She is passionate about agriculture, rural and international development, and health. You can read her monthly column at rabble.ca, of course. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT It's impossible to consume everything on the Internet, even more so when the social media we reluctantly rely on disappears for a day. Not to worry, here's a recap of this week at rabble: in case you missed it. First thing's first: you may have noticed that rabble is looking a little different these days. We are happy to say we've completed a soft launch of our new website. Things are coming together, but of course, moving over 20+ years of content is a challenge, so please do bear with us as we work out any kinks. We're excited to show you what we've been up to these past months though, and everything should be back up to speed soon! Beyond that: This week at rabble, Stephen Wentzell sits down for an interview with the only Green MP who isn't Elizabeth May: but is Mike Morrice. Morrice is the Green's newly-elected member of Parliament in the Ontario riding of Kitchener-Centre, which he won after a tight race with the NDP candidate in that constituency, Beisan Zubi. As it turns out, Morrice is going to spend his first term focused on serving his neighbours in Kitchener Centre rather than turn his attention to leading a party that is in no uncertain terms badly wounded in the wake of the departure of its leader, and the first Black and Jewish leader of a federal party ever, Annamie Paul. Of course, there are other ways to make change outside of government. Columnist Minister Faust takes us through the benefits of what he calls pro-social competition -- where activists, unions, social entrepreneurs, or governments can open competitions to fuel social innovation, solutions, and generally improve society's conditions. This is a model that has seen success on the African continent, Faust writes. Collective minds are always going to field more solutions than any individual entity. And, competitions don't have to be capitalist. "Unlike corporate contests that let contest-convenors seize all rights to submissions, a pro-social contest allows all contestants to own their results to build value wherever they can via their own co-ops, community groups, and teams. Or, the convenor can hire winners to do the work they've proven they can do. Every contestant who's created practical solutions is now far closer to making the world better." Also on the site this week: Sarah Macharia writes about how the international community has an obligation to stand in solidarity with girls and women in Afghanistan, especially those working in journalism and media whose entire families are now at risk of violence from the Taliban. Yves Engler assesses the hypocrisy of Canadian politicians who condemn the People's Party of Canada while continuing to endorse Canada's support for far-right movements abroad. Michael Hackl writes this month's Pro Bono column, in which he describes what legal options you might have if you're experiencing online harassment. Plus much more!

The At Issue panel discusses the government's post-election priorities and how Canada should approach China now that Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor are back home. And in this extended edition, the panellists also talk about Annamie Paul's resignation message.
This week, Annamie Paul announced that she will be stepping down as leader of the Green Party, following months of infighting and disappointing results in last week's election.Paul described her embattled tenure as leader as “the worst period of my life,” and has blamed “racism” and “sexism” as underlying the attacks against her leadership. On the other hand, back in May, some in the party strongly criticized Paul's lacklustre statements regarding Israeli airstrikes against the people of Palestine, and refusal to distance herself from a staffer who called for the replacement of Green MPs who called out Israeli apartheid.Following this dispute, former Green MP Jenica Atwin crossed the floor to join the Liberals.With so much division, it is perhaps not surprising that the Greens' popular vote share plummeted to 2.3 per cent. And although the party picked up a seat in Kitchener, thanks largely to the withdrawal of the Liberal candidate in that riding, the Greens lost MP Paul Manly in Nanaimo-Ladysmith.Questions remain about who will take over as the Greens' interim leader, and who will enter the race to take over the party's top job permanently. We spoke to former Green Party leadership candidate and self-described eco-socialist Dimitri Lascaris, who is considering running again for the party's top job.Further reading:Green Party members vote to support "bold" and "progressive" policies:dimitrilascaris.org/2021/09/04/gree…ssive-policies/35% of Canadians would like to see a move away from capitalism:innovativeresearch.ca/non-partisan-c…n-initiatives/Music credit: "Fluidity," by tobylane.pixabay.com/da/music/flde-fluid…y-100-ig-edit-4558/Support our journalism:www.readthemaple.com/subscribe-options/
You might have Heard Tell that Canada had an election. Well, we turn to our friend and Canadian David Clement to explain not only the last 40 days of an election that seems to have changed very little, the background on how we got here, thoughts on Justin Trudeau, a break down of the other parties involved, how leaders like Erin O'Toole, Jagmeet Singh, and Annamie Paul fared, and what happens now to a Canada that is dealing with a pandemic, a housing crisis, and questions as to what the point of this election was in the first place.David Clement is the North American Affairs Manager for the Consumer Choice Center, a widely published writer and commentator, and the co-host of Consumer Choice Radio.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/heard-tell/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Justin Trudeau clearly lost the 2021 Federal Election English Debate, but there wasn't a clear winner. We talk about how Jagmeet Singh and Annamie Paul scored points, but Erin O'Toole may have done enough to keep his lead.
