Tasha Kheiriddin: In bad French, Carney previews how he hopes to win

25 février 2025 à 18:37
As a bilingual native Quebecer, I always dread French political debates where no one speaks the language fluently. But one must make these things tolerable, so Monday night, 8 p.m., my daughter and I settled in to play “Judge the French” at the Liberal leadership debate, which was also the only way to convince an apolitical teenager to watch. The verdict? Frank Baylis’ French was good, Karina Gould’s and Chrystia Freeland’s was fine, and Mark Carney’s was not. It was better in the press conference that followed, but during the main event, Carney tripped up, most notably when he said, “we agree with Hamas,” instead of “we agree about Hamas,” to the delight of Conservatives all over social media.

Mark Carney mistakenly says he’s ‘in agreement with Hamas’ during French leadership debate

25 février 2025 à 13:48
For many francophone Canadians, the Liberal leadership debate on Monday was the first opportunity to hear each candidate speak extensively and mostly unscripted in French. That was particularly true for Mark Carney, the race’s frontrunner whose ability to think and communicate quickly in French has gone largely untested in the public’s eye. Read More

Michael Murphy: Elites won’t stand for working class Germans backing AfD

25 février 2025 à 12:00
The populist train sweeping through the West finally pulled into Germany — running, as ever, behind schedule. Until now, the country had resisted Europe’s rightward shift. Sunday’s election put an end to that: the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), often described as “far-right,” surged to become the Bundestag’s second-largest party after doubling its 2019 vote share. Still shunned by Germany’s political class, the AfD made the biggest gains, cementing itself as an electoral force the establishment can no longer ignore. Read More

Terry Newman: Was Ruby Dhalla too much of a threat to Mark Carney?

24 février 2025 à 21:38
Last Friday, leadership hopeful Ruby Dhalla found out, live, on-air, from CBC Power and Politics' David Cochrane, that the Liberal Party had disqualified her from the race for "extremely serious" violations. Dhalla called these allegations "false and fabricated" suggesting that they were levelled against her in order to "complete Mark Carney's coronation." One thing's for sure, her disqualification happened in the eleventh hour — the story broke just before 5 p.m. EST on Friday, with the two Liberal leadership debates taking place Monday and Tuesday in Montreal.  Read More

Simon Jolin-Barrette: Québec and Alberta are historic allies in combating crime

24 février 2025 à 21:00
In my capacity as Québec minister of justice and minister responsible for Canadian relations, I wish to express my support for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s recent initiatives to bolster the fight against crime and ensure public safety. In her February 10, 2025 letter addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, she emphasized the impact of recent legislative changes adopted by the Liberal government on public confidence in our justice system and, more specifically, the confidence of victims. We agree with this viewpoint. Read More
