Unelected vetting committee rationale for rejecting candidacy largely focused on my foreign policy positions. NDP brass don't want to debate Canadian militarism or imperialism. Email Federal Council to demand they reverse anti-internationalist decision actionnetwork.org/letters/8717...
Internationalism belongs in the leadership race. Let Engler run!
The NDP excluded internationalism from its first official leadership debate, and now its three-person vetting committee has barred a leading critic of Canadian foreign policy from even entering the le...

Complying with Yves' appeal to Federal Council is the @ndp.ca's last chance to salvage their hitherto unfulfilled commitment to democratic norms.

NDP members have not elected members of the vetting committee. That makes it an ILLEGITIMATE structure at the party's executive level.

“Pro-Palestinian activist Yves Engler barred from running for NDP leadership”, noted the Canadian Press. The headline should have added “once again”.
At the NDP’s recent leadership debate in Montreal there wasn’t a single question about the Canadian-backed slaughter in Gaza.

NDP takes Orwellian world view to deny my candidacy
Up is down. Right is left. International law is whatever empire says it is. Democracy is following our rules.
The audacity, chauvinism and absurdity of the NDP vetting committee is a sight to behold.

We've been informed that the NDP’s three-person vetting committee has blocked Yves' candidacy for leader. We reject this attempt to shut down a mass, grassroots, activist-led socialist campaign. Read our letter to the Federal Council calling on them to overturn this decision.

Is it a wariness toward activism, hesitance around Palestinian solidarity, or partisan instinct that’s pushing Avi Lewis supporters to advance misleading claims? While the NDP’s position has greatly improved on the lawless genocidal apartheid state, the recent debate exposed its limitations.

It’s been 36 years since fourteen young women had their lives taken at Polytechnique Montréal. On December 6, we mark the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Gender-based violence remains a crisis in Canada.

Is it illegal to promote an email petition to state officials? Does it become “harassment” if successful? Or is it only a crime if the emails go to the police? Nearly 50 people joined me in court Friday as I faced charges for promoting an email petition campaign.
