Whether someone supported the aggression in Iran was a pretty straightforward test of judgment. Now we're watching them shamelessly try to memory-hole just how loudly and enthusiastically they cheered it on.

Enjoyed this talk with @ReidSmall on the OPCW cover-up, challenging pro-war propaganda, and more:

I had a great conversation with @aaronjmate at Web Summit Vancouver. We discussed his reporting on the war in Ukraine, the Syrian dirty war, media narratives, and the role institutions play in shaping public understanding of major geopolitical events. Full interview coming soon on @CoastalFrontBC.

Ah yes, “Canadians for Bush” Stockwell Day. The guy who condemned Canada’s unwillingness to participate in the 2003 invasion of Iraq and later stated that “Israel is the only true democracy in the entire Middle East” and that “Iranians hate democracy as much as they hate Jews.”

Yes, clearly Ezra Levant puts his viewers’ interests above the truth — which is why they’ll 🚨 DONATE NOW 🚨 to protect those interests. Journalistic integrity is adherence to the truth, not pandering to an echo chamber.

British Columbia's overseas trade offices cost taxpayers millions each year, but the province is unable or unwilling to fully account for how that money is spent. Read my latest article ⤵️

How much do these offices actually cost, and what do British Columbians, who are footing the bill, get in return? coastalfront.ca/read/bcs-glo…

Speaking of foreign powers and genocide, your leadership campaign co-chair, John Baird, served on the board of directors of an organization that lobbies Canadian policymakers on behalf of a foreign government that is committing genocide.

Give this article a read. The IHRA’s "working definition" was adopted in my city, Vancouver, a few years ago, spearheaded by @sarahkirby_yung under @KenSimCity's administration to "combat rising hate incidents." ​The federal government of Canada adopted the IHRA definition in 2019​, and multiple provinces have done the same.

By US and Israeli logic, it would now be permissible to flatten the neighbourhood.

And then-Superintendent of the RCMP's Security Service, Ron Yaworski, oversaw the destruction of additional sensitive files related to these illegal activities. His son, Jeffrey Yaworski, went on to become the second-in-command at CSIS. In 2015, Jeffrey travelled to Ankara, Turkey, to persuade Turkish authorities not to disclose CSIS’s recruitment of a Syrian human smuggler who had trafficked three British teenage girls to Islamic State militants.

Fool me twice.

The proponents operated under the presumption that this would create stability, free the Iranian people, make the world safer, and be an easy operation. They were wrong across the board. The only meaningful path to redemption now is full, unqualified acknowledgment, not just that they were wrong, but that they advocated reckless and predictably catastrophic views.

Anyone who still takes Trump seriously at this point is effectively a political cultist. Eventually, the fog will lift, and some people will sheepishly admit they were "wrong" about this war, but that amounts to little accountability when they were quite literally cheerleading it while schoolchildren were being incinerated.
