Asks too littleReuel S. Amdur
October 5, 2020
Former diplomat Gar Pardy has rallied an impressive group of prominent Canadians in appealing to the government to undertake an exchange with China of Meng Wanzhou, currently held on an extradition request from the United States, for Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, two Canadians seized by China in retaliation. What Pardy proposes is a low-ball offer.
Netanyahu and BismarckReuel S. Amdur
October 5, 2020
Binyamin Netanyahu is a Jewish Bismarck. He has combined a malicious cunning with a wilful strategy and effective tactics to accomplish his imperialist aims. At one point, he promised that as long as he was prime minister of Israel there would never be a Palestinian state. So far, he has kept his word.
Trudeau talks toughReuel S. Amdur
October 19, 2020
Prime Minister Trudeau has decided to get tough with China, but the timing is off. The time to get tough is after our four (not two!) political prisoners are back home and our four prisoners in China sentenced to death for drug offenses have their sentences reduced. Getting tough will simply irritate the Chinese leadership. In retaliation they may begin to execute the drug offenders.

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.
Harper: the poor can waitReuel S. Amdur
April 21, 2011
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
