    MISSION OF FOLLY: WHY CANADA SHOULD BRING ITS TROOPS HOME FROM AFGHANISTAN BY JAMES LAXER 2 Canadian troops have been fighting in Afghanistan for over five years. This military mission has endured for longer than the First World War and the Korean conflict. If the mission continues for another year, it will exceed the Second World War in duration, to become the lengthiest war in which Canadians have ever fought. To date, 44 Canadians have died in Afghanistan. On a per capita basis, more Canadians have been killed during the mission, than has been the case for any of the other allied countries who have sent forces to Afghanistan. The Harper government has presented the mission to Canadians as combining a military element with the provision of aid to the people of Afghanistan. In fact, in dollars spent, the mission has been ninety per cent military, and only ten per cent reconstruction aid. 3 The Chretien government propelled Canada into the Afghan War with little thought in the autumn of 2001. The mission has since been sustained and extended by the Martin and Harper governments. Despite the brief debate and vote on the issue in the House of Commons in May 2006, this country has had no authentic national debate on the Afghanistan mission. In this 30,000 word long report, I have entered the debate not as an expert on Afghanistan, but as someone with considerable experience analyzing Canadian and American global policies. It is my belief that the Afghanistan mission is a tragic mistake for Canada. If prolonged, the mission will cost many more Canadian lives, 4 without the achievement of the goals Canada and its allies have set for themselves in Afghanistan.

  • CHAPTER 1 GLOBALIZATION, the STATE and SUBSIDIES 1. This Is
    Notes CHAPTER 1 GLOBALIZATION, THE STATE AND SUBSIDIES 1. This is an interpretation that stresses developments in the global political economy. Other work on globalization has stressed the compression of time and space, as well as broader sociological aspects (Shaw, 1994; Robertson, 1992). 2. For an extended consideration of these categories see the work of Robert W. Cox (1987; 1986). 3. James Laxer (1987) uses the terms 'enterprise' and 'enterprise-interven­ tion' to describe similar variations as hyperliberalism and state capitalism. 4. This statement presumes that the interests of domestic societies may not be synonymous with the demands of the international economy as articu­ lated by hegemonic spokespeople. CHAPTER 2 THE US TRADE LAW SYSTEM 1. This has led one prominent observer (Wolf, 1989: 286) to use 'stupidity' as a possible explanation for trade restrictions! 2. See 'Statement by Forty Economists on American Trade Policy', issued in April 1989 reprinted in The World Economy 12 no. 2 (June 1989: 263-4 and Bovard, 1991). 3. Nelson (1989) terms this a shift from distributional to regulatory politics. 4. C. Michael Aho refers to this practice as 'forum shopping'. See 'Com­ ments', (Smith, 1987: 44). 5. Public letter accompanying the release of the 1985 Trade Barriers Report (29 October) from United States Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter to Senator Bob Packwood, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance. 6. Belgium also brought in a CVD law at this time. 7. Concerns about the protectionist bias in antidumping cases are outlined in Devalut (1990). 8. Having made this point, it is acknowledged that other laws such as the antidumping provision and Section 301 can also be used to change other government activities.

  • Family Quarrel: Joe Salsberg, the 'Jewish' Question, and Canadian Communism
    Family Quarrel: Joe Salsberg, the ‘Jewish’ Question, and Canadian Communism Gerald Tulchinsky WHEN JOE SALSBERG (his full name was Joseph Baruch Salsberg but everyone called him Joe; Yiddish-speaking intimates called him Yossele, the Yiddish dimin- utive for Yosel) left the Canadian Labor-Progressive Party of Canada [LPP] in early 1957, he effectively ended a 30-year career of intense activity in the communist cause, including momentous contributions to the labour movement, to progressive legislation as a member of the Toronto City Council and the Ontario legislature, and to the Jewish radical left in Ontario. But while his departure was an anguished one, it was based essentially on his identity as a Jew and his conviction that in the Soviet Union not only had Jewish culture been suppressed under Josef Stalin but that his successors were also determined to continue that policy. Joe believed that the communist family had rejected him and other Jewish devotees of the great cause — and it broke his heart. Salsberg, a capmaker by trade, was born in Lagov, Poland, in 1902 and had im- migrated with his parents to Canada in 1913. To help support his family, he began a full-time working career when he was a mere thirteen years old. Joe’s parents were devout Orthodox Jews, his father Abraham (known as Avremele in the community) was a follower of the Hasidic tradition who prayed that Joe, his firstborn, would be- come a rabbi, while his mother, Sarah-Gitel, was a veritable dynamo who had founded and carefully managed Toronto’s important Malbush Aromin (clothing the poor) Society.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • Please Do Not Cite. Extractivism and the Neoliberal Self: Canada and The
    Draft version: Please do not cite. Extractivism and the neoliberal self: Canada and the challenge of climate change Scott Staring University Partnership Centre, Georgian College Introduction When the New Democratic Party held its annual convention in Edmonton this April, two news items received broad media play. The first was the not-so-surprising decision to dump Thomas Mulcair as party leader. But it was a second decision that really grabbed the headlines: Party delegates passed a resolution to consider adopting principles from the controversial Leap Manifesto, which calls for a significant restructuring of the economy and the phasing out of fossil fuels. The NDP’s non-committal agreement to merely discuss the manifesto elicited outrage and scorn from some commentators. The National Post’s Michael Den Tandt derided it as “an addled, cockamamie vision like something out of Orwell” (Den Tandt, 2016). One-time NDP leadership candidate, James Laxer, mocked the document as an unrealistic, elite scheme that “reeks of downtown Toronto”(Laxer, 2016). Meanwhile the cover of Maclean’s magazine featured a picture of the manifesto’s leading advocates, Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis, with a gargantuan headline reading “How to Kill the NDP” (2016). What lay behind this reaction to the manifesto? Why the fury over a document that some have described as a “middle-of-the-road” response to a crisis that threatens the very future of our planet? The answer I believe has to do with the challenge it poses to our very identity as modern Canadians. Over the past several decades our nation, like many others, has undergone a series of far-reaching neoliberal reforms.
