Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded November 26th, 2022.
Though its technically illegal for Canadians to enlist in foreign wars, when it comes to the Ukraine conflict its clear Ottawa is happy to ignore transgressors. And, Canadian media is going that official blind-eying one further, lionizing Canadians killed in combat over there.
Ken Stone is an executive member of both the Syria Support Movement and Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War. He’s also a contributing author to the Canada-Wide Peace and Justice Network‘s open letter regarding the recent death of Canadian Joseph Hildebrand, killed fighting in Ukraine.
Ken Stone and Canada’s role in keeping the killing in Ukraine going.

I really enjoyed this interview with Ken Stone about the war in Ukraine, Canadian military spending, and especially all the better things that the Cdn government could spend our money on than a proxy war aimed at preserving US empire.
“I wouldn’t buy bonds for Ukraine, and I wouldn’t bet money on the survival of Zelinskyy’s state.” Well said.
