Raymond J. de Souza: Putin’s lies will not bring peace, warns Ukrainian Catholic patriarch

27 février 2025 à 12:00
Shameful displays at the United Nations are not rare, but the decision of the United States to vote with Russia and North Korea against Ukraine’s resolution on the third anniversary of the war belongs in a special category. Would that the new administration in Washington were capable of shame. Read More

Michael Taube: May Doug Ford’s third majority win herald an era of fiscal conservatism

26 février 2025 à 23:00
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservatives appear to be well on their way to victory in this Thursday’s election. They’re leading in opinion polls by an average of 40 to 44 per cent — and are ahead of Bonnie Crombie and the Liberals by 10 points or more.

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.
