The Chopping Block: Leonard Peltier is finally free. So why does no one care?

1 month ago | hatchetmedia.substack.com | Arshy Mann

For years, Leonard Peltier was called North America’s Nelson Mandela. Amnesty International consistently advocated for his release, and in 1999, they labelled him a political prisoner. Archbishop Desmond Tutu called his conviction a “blot on the judicial system” of the United States. Here in Canada, Peltier’s case was the kind of issue that brought together ideological enemies. There was a time when both the Reform Party and the NDP were arguing that he should be freed.

And with that has come a good amount of talk of both Canadian history and the need for modern-day nation-building. That’s a good impulse.
Once Again, Trudeau Prioritizes the Interests of Liberals Over Canada

Jan 7, 2025 | hatchetmedia.substack.com | Arshy Mann

Let’s get something out of the way, right off the top. Over the last few weeks, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been facing a crisis. He lost his Finance Minister. (Did she quit or was she fired? And at this point, does anyone care about the details?)The Liberal caucus, which had been unfailingly loyal to Trudeau through so many struggles and scandals, has been in open revolt.
