The co-editor of the CounterPunch newsletter didn't hesitate to rip into influential American commentators like Thomas Friedman and Christopher Hitchens.
Born in Poland, Emil Pozniak moved to Canada with his family in 1964.
Emil was predeceased by his father, Stanislaw, and is survived by his mother, Stefania; his sister, Eugenie; and his brothers Edward (Anna), Jan (Teresa), Stanislaw (Czeslawa), and Kazimierz.
Tributes continue to pour in for Dave Watson, the Straight's beloved Dot Comment columnist who recently died of cancer. His final days were marked by courage and grace, and this brilliant and humble man will never be forgotten.
