Phil Taylor interviews Sid Ryan, who was to be the chair of the Toronto meeting for Dimitri Lascaris' lecture in Toronto. Ryan criticizes the UCC and other organizations which prevented Torontonians from hearing a call for a negotiated peace in Ukraine.

Ryan also decries the sending of endless arms and money to Ukraine, because Ukraine has virtually no chance of winning the war.

Dimitri wants Canadians to consider the large number of Ukrainians that have perished so far in the conflict and the many more who will do so if the war continues. Canadians should be grateful of the chance to hear Dimitri.

For his part, Phil Taylor describes the pro-war position of the Trudeau government as "tunnel vision." It can't seem to consider the view of Lascaris and the peace movement in Canada to change course and seek a negotiated end to the war.

In an interview with the Taylor Report he updates his findings with insights regarding the war in Ukraine, dirty tricks in Venezuela, and support of Israel's West Bank occupation.

Eritrean-Canadians defend their community and the rights of all Canadians when menaced by violent attackers. The authorities who enable the self-described "disrupters" by nattering falsely about "clashes" and "eruptions" have been cancelling Eritrean events in Canada: exactly as planned by the so-called 'To the Death' Brigade.

This must be stopped by those who truly believe in equality under the law for everyone. Eritrean-Canadians are leading that fight.

Einstein argued in 1948 that Israel should align itself with the anti-colonial movements of the Arab people, but, to the contrary, the new state instead aligned itself with and served the old colonial powers. Nothing has changed, except the anti-colonial movement has won many victories and today the Palestinian cause of equality, independence, and sovereignty has wide popular support worldwide.

Israel laying siege to Gaza, calling Gazans "animals", will create a storm of support for Palestine. Diplomacy can solve the crisis, but it means taking the US out of the driver's seat, and following the UN charter.
