Brilliant essay by Fred Wilson! Progressive nationalism and the fight for Canadian sovereignty – Canadian Dimension

My long form article on three waves of Progressive Canadian Nationalism is at @CDN_Dimension . https://t.co/Q6is2uZedU

Canada’s dependence on the US has long constrained its politics, economy and culture. Labour and social movements are demanding a new wave of progressive nationalism—one that breaks with appeasement, defends Canadian jobs, and builds a sovereign future.

Support for Israel is collapsing. In Canada, the US, and Europe, most now see Gaza as a site of genocide. Israel’s brutality is eroding its legitimacy and radicalizing the previously apolitical, while global solidarity with Palestinians continues to grow.

What October 7 and the ensuing genocide forced back onto the world’s agenda is now impossible to ignore: Israel’s legitimacy is crumbling, not because of propaganda, but because its actions have radicalized even the previously apolitical.

The changing tide of public opinion threatens Israel’s crumbling legitimacy – Canadian Dimension

Canada risks serious decline by following Europe down the path of militarization. Instead of appeasing Washington, Ottawa should diversify partnerships and strengthen diplomacy with rising powers. Protecting welfare at home depends on independence abroad.

Canada’s productivity has fallen for decades—not because workers are lazy, but because corporations won’t invest. Our most “productive” sector? Extracting rent from housing. The issue isn’t how hard we work, but how we define progress.

Canada’s “productivity crisis” isn’t about lazy workers—it’s about protected oligopolies and metrics that reward speculation over real value. If being “productive” means enriching landlords and gutting public services, maybe we need to be less productive.

Carney campaigned as the antidote to Trumpism. In power, he has caved to Conservatives at home, appeased Trump abroad, and now is gearing up to gut public spending. Voters didn’t choose him to stop the right only to watch him govern like them.

Mark Carney presents himself as the steady hand Canada needs, but his politics amount to neoliberalism with a friendlier face. Canada needs more than tinkering around the edges of capitalism—we need a government willing to confront capital itself.

What October 7 and the ensuing genocide forced back onto the world’s agenda is now impossible to ignore: Israel’s legitimacy is crumbling, not because of propaganda, but because its actions have radicalized even the previously apolitical.

“The smear of equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism is losing its force,” writes Canadian journalist Mary J. Newman. “Palestine is no longer a fringe left-wing cause. Israel’s brutality has radicalized even the previously apolitical.” https://t.co/f2fE8eNc97

On Gaza, the CBC has omitted key context, downplayed war crimes, and yielded to lobby pressure. By sanitizing Israel’s genocide, it has left Canadians uninformed, indifferent, and complicit.

Throughout the crisis in Gaza, the CBC has consistently capitulated to pro-Israel lobby pressure. The public broadcaster’s choices have not merely misinformed; they have implicated Canadians in the ongoing genocide.

Canada’s conspicuous silence as the US sanctions ICC judge Kimberly Prost marks a sharp decline from the days it challenged apartheid in South Africa. Where Canada once championed the court’s independence, it now defers to Washington.
