Democracy in Egypt: Harper shameful standReuel S. Amdur
March 23, 2011
Israel claims to be the only democracy in the Middle East. Of course, ancient Athens was also a democracy, but built on slavery. Israel's democracy is built on denial of the rights of its Palestinian minority and its colonial and irredentist exploitation and mistreatment of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. Moreover, it wants to remain "the only democracy" in the area.
Harper: What's in a name?Reuel S. Amdur
April 7, 2011
Recently, in what one hopes are the dying days of the present régime, shortly before the election writ was dropped official Ottawa ordered its servants to refer to "the Harper government" in all government communications. This kind of hucksterism is a hallmark of Stephen Harper and his Madison Avenue North minions.
Politics of Dr. Jekyll and Mister HydeReuel S. Amdur
April 14, 2011
Why do liberals at home act like despots abroad? We can look at some examples from the United States but also one from France. Here goes.
Who is Jesus?Reuel S. Amdur
April 21, 2011
Jesus has long been an enigma, a blank canvas on which people of different cultures and persuasions have drawn a likeness. In the West, we are all familiar with a fair-skinned, blue-eyed Jesus, but African Christians color him black, and Oriental Christians give his eyes the epicanthic fold. The different likenesses are, however, more than skin deep.

The report on poverty reduction by the House of Commons Human Resources, Skills and Social Development Committee took two and a half years to produce.
Harper scare tactics on refugeesReuel S. Amdur
April 21, 2011
"This government has turned into something nasty and mean," Peter Showler told an attentive audience at Ottawa's First Unitarian Congregation on April 18. Showler, a former chairman of the Immigration and Refugee Board and currently a law prof at the University of Ottawa, was wearing a sweatshirt with a picture of Albert Einstein and the inscription "Einstein was a refugee."
Posties stamped on by Canada PostReuel S. Amdur
June 16, 2011
CUPW (Canadian Union of Postal Workers) is on strike. The union is resisting Canada Post's efforts to cut beginning pay from $24 per hour to $17.50. Canada Post also wants to switch from a defined-benefit retirement plan to a defined-contribution plan, with no guaranteed amount of pension at the time it is taken.
Canada: Who is an Antisemite?Reuel S. Amdur
July 13, 2011
While the authors of the report of the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Antisemitism set out to combat the pernicious ideology and its practical outcomes, paradoxically they only help to perpetuate it, if not to exacerbate it.
Who are the terrorists?Reuel S. Amdur
July 29, 2011
A bomb blast in Oslo. The first reaction-it must be Muslim extremists. But no, it turns out that Anders Behring Breivik is anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, and an Evangelical Christian right-wing extremist. Why do Muslims come to mind first?
Harper's HypocrisyReuel S. Amdur
August 10, 2011
Back in 2006, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said, "I think the government of Canada, when a Canadian citizen is ill-treated and when the rights of a Canadian citizen need to be defended, I think it's always the obligation of the government of Canada to vocally and publicly stand up for that Canadian citizen. That is what we will continue to do." That was then and this is now. He was talking about the case of Huseyn Celil, a Uyghur from China who is a Canadian citizen and who served as an imam in Hamilton, Ontario.
