A "left-leaning" anarchist? Talk about politically conflicted....writing of Sid Ryan, president of CUPE;

The man is awesome. Especially his views on Palestine. BTW I firmly believe that CUPE taking that stance and Sid promoting it was an excellent move. Great work Sid!

h/t Jason Cherniak (who has Ryan's views on Israel for the record).

Well, quite the week for LIberal leadership candidate communications directors, yes?

Parrish still needs to explain how she go away with illegaly transport live munition(s) on an international airline.

She proudly displayed a live rifle round, in the Mississauga News, that she brought back from the West bank in 03.

It was a prop for her anti-Isreal propoganda.

sorry about the spelling

It was interesting, yes.

Throughout it, Cherniak was... well, right. I think he's been taking his iron pills or something.

"Well, quite the week for LIberal leadership candidate communications directors, yes?"

Stupid n00bs. Excuse me while I go embellish my resume...

Today I read about how the Young Liberals of Canada have a "hit list" of Tory MPs that they hope to get embarassing photos of. Apparently, they feel it's important that Canadians see the "real" face of the Conservative Party.

Perhaps they should focus their attention on the Liberal leadership convention for a real "target rich environment."

ah ya can take the boy out of the ndp but ya cant take the ndp out of the boy .....

LOL !!!

I saw the "Michael Coren Show" -- not normally a pleasant experience -- about a year ago when Ezra Levant was on with three other people, one of whom was Syd Ryan.

I'm not normally a fan of bloodsports, and especially not mismatches, but geez, it was a delightful encounter, particularly when Ryan stated in that clipped voice that Iran had every right to enrich Uranium, that it was for energy use, and that it was nobody else's business. Ezra, with his trademark mixture of sheer acuity, volubility and blitheness tap-danced back and forth across Ryan's head as casually as someone swatting a fly while watching a baseball game.

Ryan kept a straight face in the manner of a twiddle-thumbed, rigidly servile alater-boy, but those dead grey eyes, now frozen in his blush, betrayed more than a trace of panic. You could see that his only hope was to get through the encounter and to regather, with backup, what he'd lost, at some later date.

It's a simple story of survival and hardship. His struggle later bore fruit in his steely union-energy resolve to stop the Jews...sorry, I mean to say, to throw the weight of his union behind those ah, disenfranchised people who...wish to kill...no, no, who are fighting oppression caused by Jews.

Well, he's feeling so much better now. See that photo of him with Mohammad Hashim? He looks positively armed. One man can't do it alone, you know; it's the union that makes him strong.

There's one motivated man.

EBD,

Phenomenal! Proof again that the left in this country is working in full throated defence of the theocrats and dictators.

Why you ask....they see jihadi's through the prism of anti globalization and anti capitalim. Jihadi's are just the most committed of the anti captialists in their minds.

It would be interesting to ask if suicide bombings are justified in this country in the name of preventing a starbucks from opening up....because thats where their argument leads.

As for these communications directors

1) Clearly they dont think these views are controversial....guess it all depends on who you hang with.

2) Young tories beware, dont publish your unvarnished thoughts on the web, especially if you wish to hold any public office

3) What rot has entered the Liberal party....is this about the left taking hold of the Liberal party? This is an old story actually, the Liberal left was always full of socialists who got tired of electoral "moral victories" and sought the perks of power. Same old same old

4) Find each of these guys, and they are mostly guys, and shed some light on them. I suspect MHF will drop this guy soon and I suspect MADD Canada will have some discussions with him. They called me recently for a donation I only wish I knew this at the time.

I am not an Israel right or wrong person, meaning I recognize their mistakes when they make them but understand they are a friend and ally, but man this stuff is out of hand. It is a broad based "meme" and it is all eminating from the left.

One final thing, left leaning with anarchist tendencies....what a joke, if he was an anarchist he wouldnt be working in any organized political party. Immature kid, but dangerous because politics is still one of those vocations where you can end up with immense power and influence quickly just through being there and doing some simple organizing and pampleteering. There is no filter (for both good and bad results)

I hope all people of good conscience in the Liberal Party either clean up the mess in their house or leave the house, you have an infestation and you better do some de-lousing.

Did any of you read Ryan's letter to Harper? Funny stuff actually. Here's an choice bit. (My bolding)

Ryan concluded his letter with: “Your blind support for George Bush and his policies and your rejection of Canada’s traditional role in the world has left Canadians confused and angry.

It seems to me that Canadians on the left are always confused and angry, so what's his point?

For the record.

These Members of the Parliament of Canada, while on foreign soil, have denounced the Prime Minister of Canada. They have given comfort to the Enemy; they have aided and abetted Muslim Islamist terrorism.

These members must resign their seats immediately. They are unworthy of sitting as Members of the Parliament of Canada.

Their words and actions must be investigated by the RCMP and the appropriate committee(s)of Parliament itself. ...-


MPs want Hezbollah taken off terror list
NDP, Liberal members say designation hinders peace process

Matthew Fisher
The Ottawa Citizen

Monday, August 21, 2006

BENT JBAIL, Lebanon - Dropping Hezbollah from a list of banned terrorist organizations in Canada would aid the cause of peace, according to two MPs now on a fact-finding mission to Lebanon.

When asked if he was in favour of Hezbollah being taken off the terror list, Etobicoke Liberal MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj said: "Yes, I would be." He likened the situation in the Middle East to Northern Ireland, where "if there wasn't the possibility for London to negotiate with the IRA, you'd still have bombings."

"Hezbollah has a political wing. They have members of parliament. They have two cabinet ministers. You want to encourage politicians in this military organization so that the centre of gravity shifts to them."

New Democrat Peggy Nash, who represents the Toronto riding of Parkdale-High Park, said her discussions in Lebanon had led her to believe "that it is just not helpful to label them a terrorist organization.

"If the political parties in Lebanon who may disagree with Hezbollah ... can figure out a way to work with Hezbollah and try to get along internally, then perhaps we should take a cue from that." ...
Maria Mourani, the Bloc Quebecois MP for Ahuntsic, is also a member of the Canadian delegation on a week-long tour of Syria, Lebanon and Egypt organized by the National Council on Canada-Arab Relations.

Asked about her opinion of Hezbollah or its terrorist status in Canada, Ms. Mourani replied tersely: "According to the government of Canada, Hezbollah is a terrorist group."

Earlier in the day, after being taken to the ruins of a house in Qana, where 28 members of the same extended family were killed in an Israeli air raid, Ms. Mourani, who is of Lebanese descent, criticized Prime Minister Stephen Harper for supporting Israel during the war.

"This is Canada's shame," Ms. Mourani said. "Mr. Harper has given us a rather negative international image. We can see here that the attacks were (far) from being measured. The devastation is incredible."

As he met with Lebanese in towns such as Qana and Bent Jbail, which were badly hit during the war, Mr. Wrzesnewskyj repeatedly denounced Mr. Harper's support for Israel.

"We are deeply ashamed that our prime minister had some incredibly irresponsible comments to make at the beginning of the war," Mr. Wrzesnewskyj told a group of Lebanese who had lost many relatives during the conflict. ...-
http://www.paulding.net/bin/url.cgi/13382.9

A public reprimand is in order for the members of the parliament who disgraced themselves and the Country on this silly, useless trek to Lebanon. They were not out to fact find, they took the opportunity to make cheap political hay and make a mockery of the Prime Minister and the Conservative government's policy and stance in this recent conflict.

This is very insidious stuff. We await government action to deal with these FOOLS.

Not sure many Canadians are left confused and angry. Sid remains the Canadian of convenience he has always been. He still reflects his old country labour anti-capitalist ideology that has come over with many of his compatriots, even as he enjoys the fruits of the business of organized labour.

Do you think anyone will write Mr.Hashid to inform him that anarchists are the most extreme of the extreme right?

Kinsella:

August 20, 2006 – Why is the author of this blog, a putative supporter of Gerard Kennedy, and claiming to be a member of the Liberal Party of Canada’s executive in BC, writing things like this on Cherniak’s blog? Is anything going to be done about this? If Bill Graham and Denis Coderre have any say in the matter, I doubt it.

And people still ask me why I don’t feel comfortable in the Liberal Party of Canada anymore. It’s rather self-evident, I’d say. ...-

"left eaning anarchist" most anarchists are leftwing, as Kropotkin said, anarchism is the left wing of the socialist movement.....

Only for political schizophrenics. Left wing anarchism is a contradiction in terms.

Anarchy is the point of intersection of the left and right extremes. The dark point on the back side of the circle of civilization.

This is a difficult one for me. It would be nice if life was black and white, but it isn’t. My political tendency (anarcho-syndicalism) was a major force in the Cuban Revolution, especially in the Havana based Revolutionary Directorate. The anarchists also controlled a number of important trade unions and had a daily newspaper. This was important in building the strikes which helped topple Batista. Well, a couple of years after the revolution, Castro and his new found friends the Communists purged the anarchists. Most ended up in jail or exile. So as you can imagine, I don’t exactly share your enthusiasm for Fidel. But he is a thorn in the side of the Yanqui and is admired throughout Latin America for standing up to the Evil Empire. So, I understand people like yourself and Sasha who have friendly feelings towards Castro. And I know that Castro’s non-Stalinist friends, like Garcia Marquez have been a factor in moderating some of the authoritarian excesses. ...-

Stupidy has no bounds as our little Liberals continue to demonstrate. It would all be very funny If lives were not on the line.

Maz2,

Nicely done!

And this is a Liberal party memeber? Oh my goodness, what would this guy do in power. Of course there is a long history of dictator admiring indviduals being in the Liberal party....when your brand is all about power and not ideas then guess what you attract.....

This guy isnt the only one, keep looking there are many more. Decent Liberals will eventually leave the Liberal party in disgust....it may take 10 years, but this party is being taken over by extremists....the Liberal party is becoming scary

Gee Liebknecht and Luxembourg were both Jewish. Bakunin criticized Marx for his authoritarian statist tendencies...and I am sure that one of you right whingers will find a quote to charge him with being anti-Jewish as well.....As for Kate's comment you are confusing Anarchism with American Libertarianism, which originated on the left before it was hijacked by Republicans.

Looks like Mr. Hashim has decided to not blow his horn so loudly. He's dropped his profile reference to his being the youth programs co-ordinator for MADD Canada and the Communications Director for Martha Hall-Findlay ...

I wonder how many of these sponsors would be happy that the organization they support is tied to this person in such a public manner

http://www.madd.ca/feature_ar2005.html

notice that an Ontario crown corp...the LCBO....is on the list of sponsors....

Is Senator LeBreton comfortable with her employees public views and statements linking MADD to these views?

http://www.madd.ca/english/about/boardofdirectors.html

Just thought I would ask?

In thinking about this a little more - i wonder if liberals know the difference between libertarianism and anarchy? And I wonder if they say anarchy, when they mean libertarianism...

Here below is an Official Press Release from the Liberal Party of Canada issued under the imprimatur/approval of the interim-leader of the Party, William Graham.

Liberal MP Boris Wrzesnewskyj condemns/denigrates the Prime Minister of Canada from the foreign soil of Damascus, Syria.

The Liberal Party condones/supports hezbollah, a Muslim Islamist terrorist group which has as its primary goal the annihilation of Israel and the death of all Jews.

The Liberal Party of Canada is an ally of hezbollah.

The interim-leader of the Liberal Party of Canada is one William Graham.

William Graham, resign your seat in Parliament. You are not fit to sit in Canada's Parliament. ...-

Cancellation of All-Party Middle East Trip by Conservative MP Disappointing

August 17, 2006

Damascus, Syria - The last-minute withdrawal of Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro from an all-party parliamentary trip to the Middle East is a disappointing loss of an opportunity to deepen understanding of the region, says Liberal MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj.

“The organizers, the National Council of Canada-Arab Relations (NCCAR), were told that Mr. Del Mastro was ordered by the Prime Minister’s Office to withdraw from the trip. Has Mr. Harper decided that sending Mr. Del Mastro on his behalf sends the wrong political message?” said Mr. Wrzesnewskyj, who is associate Foreign Affairs critic for the Official Opposition.

“This trip is not about politics. It is an all-party journey that has Liberal, Bloc and NDP members going on a fact-finding mission to see first-hand the results of this war and to meet with governments, non-government organizations, UN agencies and various political parties.

“Mr. Harper is yet again sending the wrong message to Canadian Arabs and to the international community by refusing to allow his government representative to join us. He needs to put his partisan interests aside and allow Mr. Del Mastro to see the reality of the situation on the ground,” said Mr. Wrzesnewskyj . ...-

While I think Jason Cherniak has taken a principled albeit smug stand, I think he needs to:

1. Explain his exact job on Stephan Dions' campaign

2. Answer what Dions' stand is on the whole issue.

3. Answer what he's going to do if Dion's answer doesn't jibe with his. Will he step down?

Borys is good at answering emails anyways. Hot off my email is an additional response.

Mr. Wrzesnewskyj paid for the trip out of his own pocket.

Statement from Liberal MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj

CanWest News today reported that I support taking Hezbollah off Canadas list of banned terrorist organizations. This is emphatically wrong. On the contrary, Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and I stated that it must remain on Canadas list because it has committed war crimes by sending rockets into civilian areas."

What I did say, however, is that the legislation surrounding our banned list of terrorist organizations must be evaluated to ensure our role as mediator is not compromised. Currently, the legislation forbids Canada from having any discussions with those on the list, and I believe this is not the way to achieve peace."

Canada must be a partner in any efforts by the international community to bring peace and stability to the region, and we can not play that role if we are shackled by this legislation which forbids us from even speaking to those groups on our list. Discussion, negotiation and diplomacy are paramount to a lasting peace.

Eugene: ".....As for Kate's comment you are confusing Anarchism with American Libertarianism, which originated on the left before it was hijacked by Republicans."

Utter balderdash. Libertarianism was the brainchild of Ayn Rand, who was as far away from the left as she could possibly get.

Actually, every anarchist I've ever met/been considered themselves Leftists. They might have been wrong, but they did, especially the Wobblies and Catholic Workers.

This is stupid of them because as other posters have commented, the first ones purged after every Communist revolution are their little allies, the anarchists. And anarchists always fall for it.

When they/we grow up, they/we tend to split off into the hard core Left or the Libertarian/Conservative Right, with the Catholic-born & raised leaning So Con. The ones who were in it based on emotion/to bug their parents go Left, while the more (shall we say) intellectual go Right.

Here endth the sociology lesson :-)

But no: no true anarchist could or would ever work for a political party. Because "if God had meant us to vote, he would have given us candidates" as the Wobs like to say.

"As for Kate's comment you are confusing Anarchism with American Libertarianism, which originated on the left before it was hijacked by Republicans."

Yes, that's probably right. Yet Kate is more informed than the vast bulk of the population. Few Canadians have any knowledge of the range of political philosophies, what they are, or how they are related - and that's entirely in the interests of our rulers.

Political incest among Liberals is the charge from U-Know-Who. Here is its words: Warning: libberiash troll language.

Liberals Screwing Liberals

I don't plan to leave this one alone.

Because Jason still doesn't get it. (Warren Kinsella also doesn't get it, but he is and will always remain a shit-eating little hack from Canada's most un-read newspaper).

You see, when you visit Jason Cherniak's blog you find a zillion Conservative trolls, and they'll use any kind of nasty language to drive their point home. I know, because I've often defended Jason against them, and for my trouble been called anything from a communist to a pedophile to a lover of expensive coffee. But Jason doesn't seem to have a problem with these people.

Now, a couple of days ago, young Thomas Hubert, a fellow Liberal, shows up on the blog and makes an entirely relevant point re. Canadian Jews and Israel, albeit employing some rather heated language. However, it should be noted that the language he used was no more offensive than anything else that appears on Cherniak on any given day of the week. This time, however, faced with another Liberal, Cherniak decides to give him the knife, a story told here and, no doubt, elsewhere on the Web.

To jump to the end, Thomas Hubert has left his position with the B.C. Young Liberals, and Jason is strutting about like the Church Lady doing her Superiority Dance.


You know, Cherniak's Liberal affiliations are plastered all over his blog. One would think, therefore, that it was in some sense a Liberal Blog--a place where other Liberal Bloggers can go and speak their minds in an open forum. But apparently, that freedom is allowed only to Jason's Conservative trolls. If you are a Liberal and you step out of line, Jason feeds you to the thought-police. Jason has had legal training, so I will leave to him to determine just how his behavior towards Thomas Hubert meets the definition of "entrapment".

Which begs the question, can Liberal Bloggers trust Jason Cherniak? You know, I have very little good to say about Blogging Tories , but I can't see them fucking one another over in this manner. Shame on you, Jason!

Commenter Michael with advice:

How to mask/disguise/liberishize your antisemitic language.

That way the proles will not understand; that way you can communicate with the "Inner Party" (H/T George Orwell, 1984). ...-

Michael said...

The way in which you criticize is important. Hubert was an officer of the Liberal party and as VP communications his voice carries weight. There are many legitimate criticisms of Israel that can and should be made clearly and rationally. However merely spewing hatred such as calling it a "vile nation" and essentially praising the legacy of Hezbollah is over the top and outrageous. Had he argued that Israel should have shown restraint, should have worked with Lebanon, should not have engaged in a campaign to destroy civilian infrastructure, should not have used cluster bombs, or any other such legitimate criticism that would have been generally well received I think. However his statements show merely hate Israel; that is unacceptable. ...-

I remember PMJC seated in the front row of the Francophone convention in Lebanon along with Nasrahllah in Oct 2002.

Here is a report.

The official said Mr. Duval had recognized Sheik Hassan Nasrallah sitting among the spiritual leaders in the front row of the audience for the opening ceremonies Friday. However, Mr. Duval didn't have an opportunity to inform Prime Minister Jean Chrétien that Mr. Nasrallah had been present.

When he faced journalists hours later, Mr. Chrétien had not been briefed on who Mr. Nasrallah was or the fact that he had been in the audience.

"Who is he?" a bewildered Mr. Chrétien responded to reporters. "I don't know him."

Is Hezbollah a terrorist organization? reporters asked.

"Well, I don't know," Mr. Chrétien replied.

When Mr. Chrétien met Friday afternoon with Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, he didn't raise the question of Mr. Nasrallah's presence.

Also PMJC identified American culture as a threat,

On Saturday, the prime minister told reporters that in the case of North America, English Canada probably needs more help than Quebec.

In some ways, Quebec is less in danger because we speak French … and we're not as attacked by the American films, and broadcasting and so on, Chrétien said.

The Liberal government goes to Lebanon.

Hmmm, left leaning liberal with an appreciation for Ferraris.

How soon does everyone get one of their own?

"Hmmm, left leaning liberal with an appreciation for Ferraris.

The man's a 'left-leaning liberal' not a socialist. (I'm not defending the guy. I'm speaking as a socialist.)

"In thinking about this a little more - i wonder if liberals know the difference between libertarianism and anarchy? And I wonder if they say anarchy, when they mean libertarianism..."

I'm guessing but I suspect this guy knows. But I would imagine that liberals are are much like conservatives in this. A few know what these are. Most don't. The difference is that if a liberal made the kind of mistake Kate made, you'd all be saying how stupid s/he was. (No she's not stupid. She just didn't know what anarchism is.)

Utter balderdash. Libertarianism was the brainchild of Ayn Rand, who was as far away from the left as she could possibly get.

You're thinking of Objectivism. Ayn Rand had no use for Libertarians, at least in the extreme form - she saw their complete rejection of the state as naive and unworkable (eg., private police forces).

Libs are in pretzels. TDH calls Borys a Liar Liberal.

Dr. C. Bennett is after Borys's tail; she says Borys must resign his post as Ass. Critic. Is Dr. C. Bennett a surgeon?

This was on CeeBeeCee? Has anyone a tape of this conservation?

CBC reporter has allowed Lib TDH to listen to the tape.

Why? Who has privileged access to CBC tapes? How was this arranged? ...-


August 22, 2006 - Some more thoughts:

• I heard these exact words come out of the mouth of Borys Wrzesnewskyj as recorded by a CBC reporter's tape recorder:

Reporter: "Are you in favour of Hezbollah being taken off the terror list."

Wrzesnewskyj: "Yes, I would be."

Therefore, this spin that Borys is now trying to put on the situation is not accurate. As advocated by Carolyn Bennett, this guy needs to resign from his post as Associate Critic for Foreign Affairs immediately. ...-

uh... anarchists are not the extreme of the extreme right, Kate. have you ever heard of Durutti? thought not.

Um, actually, technically, most of you are denotationally wrong. I'm a slightly right of center minarchist, not an anarchist, but any way, the denotational forms are clear:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-syndicalist
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-capitalist

You may also want to check out related matters such as:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism_(Ayn_Rand)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minarchist

Historically, anarchism has been part of the radical tradition, for the most part. Most people here seem to have that right.

In fact, you can be a left wing anarchist but this man is not it. With friends like Martha and Sid, he is definitely a statist.
