Adam Zivo: Wab Kinew’s worthy plan to lock up meth addicts

12 novembre 2025 à 12:00
“People who are suffering from meth addiction do not have the right to determine how the rest of us are going to live in our society,” declared Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, last week ahead of passing a bill permitting the involuntary detainment of drug-intoxicated individuals for up to three days.

André Pratte: Separatist fantasies about Quebec’s global influence get a free pass

12 novembre 2025 à 12:00
From outside the province, it is not easy to understand (or care for) what is currently going on in Quebec politics.

The PQ leader, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon (known by his acronym PSPP), has repeatedly committed to holding a referendum on independence if his party forms government, oblivious to the fact that one third of his party’s supporters would vote against separation.

Across the Commonwealth, Remembrance Day controversies tend to be rote affairs: some bureaucrat or politician says something dumb about poppies, or some group gets behind “peace poppies,” or some TV personality — let’s call him Don — says something indelicate about how many and which Canadians he sees wearing poppies, or some drunken yob is caught on camera using a cenotaph as a toilet.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Don’t fall for Carney’s ‘Buy Canadian’ fallacy

11 novembre 2025 à 19:03
Protectionists, start your engines. On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled a “Buy Canadian” procurement policy that prioritizes Canadian suppliers for all manner of federal spending, including a second set of national “major projects” he’s announcing on Thursday. “We will build Canadian, by becoming our own best customer,” Carney intoned. Ottawa will allocate nearly $186 million in new funding to the policy, including “streamlined support for Canadian small and medium-sized businesses trying to break into the federal market.” Read More
