Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded March 16, 2025

 

Listen. Hear.

This past week, Canada's Special Envoy for Syria reiterated his country's support of the new regime, insisting "Canada can play a meaningful role in enabling Syrians to build an inclusive country that respects all of its citizens." Omar Alghabra's statement accompanied a pledge of a further $84 million dollars for "humanitarian assistance to respond to the crisis in Syria."

Though the provenance of that "crisis" does not appear in the Global Affairs Canada press release, everyone knows the disaster currently occurring in Syria is the product of regime change policies promoted and perpetuated by Canada and its allies for nearly fifteen years. But now, as Alawite communities experience an ethnocide as predictable as the seasons, Canada would have us believe throwing money at "experienced humanitarian partners to deliver life-saving assistance" will provide the "security and stability" it claims is its paramount concern.

Dan Kovalik’s a lawyer, educator, labour, peace, and justice activist, democracy defender, journalist, author, and filmmaker. He’s recently returned from Syria, his third visit, talking to the people there and bringing their stories home to America.

Dan’s book titles include: ‘Cancel This Book: The Progressive Case Against Cancel Culture’ the “Plot to” series on American efforts to undermine the governments and economies of Iran, Venezuela, and Russia, ‘No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using ‘Humanitarian’ Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interest’, and his latest, ‘The Case for Palestine: Why It Matters and Why You Should Care’.

Today, a special report with Dan Kovalik on the West's Genocides in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine and more.
