Canadian Dimension

INTRODUCING THE CD ARCHIVE! Canadian Dimension teamed up with the University of Manitoba Archives and Special Collections department to create this digital register of CD’s past issues, going all the way back to our 1963 inaugural edition. 👉👉🏻👉🏿canadiandimension.com/archive

NEW: A Cold War-era arms manufacturer poisoned Manitoba’s groundwater with decades of toxic dumping. Its successor now thrives in the aerospace industry—securing public subsidies and F-35 contracts, while facing no accountability for the contamination. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

The terrible impacts of #climatechange are reshaping the class struggle. My column for @CDN_Dimension this month. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

Why are Canada’s rabbis so quiet on Gaza? While hundreds in the United States and Israel risk arrest to name genocide, most Canadian leaders stay silent. We don’t just need protest. We need new Jewish institutions rooted in justice, not Zionism. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

Most informed observers know the actual death toll in Gaza is far worse than corporate media reports. Based on a Lancet model, Israel has likely killed ~434,800 Palestinians—20.7% of Gaza’s pre-war population. Proportional to the US, that’s 70M dead. 👉 stevendonziger.substack.com/p/shock-israel…

Winnipeg’s aerospace sector has been a key supplier of weapons and military tech used in conflicts worldwide for decades. This overlooked role reveals Canada’s deep involvement in the global arms trade and calls for greater awareness and accountability. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

Canada is preparing to spend $73.9 billion on F-35s—jets built for wars we’re not fighting, with software we don’t control. Meanwhile, wildfires, floods and climate emergencies are escalating. What if we invested in disaster response instead? canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

CBC has quietly censored pro-Palestinian voices under pressure from HonestReporting Canada—a group openly aligned with the Israeli state. In doing so, the broadcaster has traded journalistic integrity for appeasement, and lost credibility on all sides. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

Canada’s Foreign Enlistment Act makes it illegal to recruit for foreign armies on Canadian soil, yet Israeli military recruitment has taken place here for generations, often in plain sight. The law is clear. The political will to enforce it is not. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

ICYMI I write in @CDN_Dimension that taking on the unchecked expansion and incursion of AI should be on the agenda in the forthcoming @NDP leadership race.

The NDP doesn’t need to chase tech boosterism to stay relevant. It needs to take a principled stand against the unchecked rise of AI—and in doing so, reclaim its purpose as a voice for human dignity and democratic control, says @CUPoliSci's @DonalSeanGill. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

Ireland is taking action to uphold international law by banning trade with Israeli settlements. Canada, despite having the legal tools to do the same, continues to enable the occupation through its trade policy. Silence is complicity. It’s time to act. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

Ireland just banned trade with illegal Israeli settlements under international law. Canada has the legal tools to do the same—but continues to enable the occupation through its free trade deal. It's time to stop the complicity. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

F-35s can’t rescue flood victims, deliver clean water, or evacuate a burning town. So why spend $74 billion on them? Canada has a chance to lead with purpose—by preparing for the disasters we already know are coming. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

BRICS is growing fast, now representing over half the world’s population and half of global GDP. Despite internal tensions and US tariff threats, it’s pushing alternatives to the dollar and deepening South-South cooperation. The global order is shifting. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

Against the backdrop of growing global polarization and open threats from the United States, the summit signalled that BRICS is no longer just a talking shop; it is becoming a force Washington can’t ignore. @CDN_Dimension mronline.org/2025/07/16/wha…

Bill C-11 hands US corporations control over how Canadians use, fix, or share their own devices and media. It’s less about copyright and more about corporate dominance. Repealing it would end years of digital colonization and empower Canadian innovation. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

New piece from me in @CDN_Dimension, something that’s deliberately polemical and provocative. A major backlash to the harms caused by AI is undoubtedly coming. This is a political opportunity - no other party has it on their agenda. #CdnPoli #NDP #AI tinyurl.com/mvryfjuj

CIJA’s political agenda disqualifies it from being an impartial authority on hate crimes. No group that works to silence criticism of Israeli policy should shape Canada’s approach to prosecuting hate. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

CIJA should not influence 🇨🇦 public policy on hate crimes Zionist orgs cannot credibly address the full spectrum of hate in Canada, and should not shape how it’s prosecuted canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
