Re-elected Ontario Premier Doug Ford mentioned "fighting" no fewer than 14 times in his victory speech in Toronto on Thursday night. He’ll fight “for every auto worker” in Ontario, “for every miner,” “for every steel maker,” “for every worker on the factor floor, every student starting their career and every senior starting their retirement,” “for First Nations communities, for newcomers (and) for everyone in Ontario looking to get ahead," he vowed.

U.S. President Donald Trump has a talent for stirring the pot, and he’s done so in two countries with repeated suggestions that Canada should become the 51st American state. Of course, making Canada one state is hardly fair — each province should get its own star on the flag if we’re going to move in that direction. But there’s no good reason to go down that path at all, given most Canadians’ rejection of the idea, and the havoc it would play with the fraught political balance in the United States. Besides, it’s likely that both Canada and the U.S are too big and too centralized as it is. Read More

Mark Carney, a senior advisor to the Trudeau government since 2020, is now trying to disown Trudeau’s disastrous fiscal and economic record and instead latch on to the much stronger record of a previous Liberal government. “It was my privilege to work with Paul Martin when he balanced the books — and kept the books balanced,” Carney said last week.

It’s taken just six weeks for the Trump administration to make clear the U.S. must hereafter be viewed as an unreliable ally, an untrustworthy partner and a danger to the continuation of the international security order provided by 80 years of joint cooperation in the wake of the Second World War.

Some readers reacted to my column about “Tumultuous times with Trump” by asking, “So what should Canada do?” There are not a lot of good options available when dealing with a U.S. leader who pays little heed to international trade laws, or to alliance considerations, or facts. Donald Trump's disdain for Canada is as abhorrent as his unilateral concessions to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Read More

In February, the western world was shocked when a TikTok video exposed two Australian nurses, Ahmad "Rashad" Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, openly reviling Jews and Israelis, insinuating they would not only refuse to treat, but might actually kill -- or have killed -- an Israeli patient that presented at their hospital. The duo have rightfully been banned from practice anywhere in Australia, but that will not soothe Australian Jews’ fear that this loose-lipped pair are the tip of an iceberg constituted of less self-sabotaging, but equally hateful fellow travellers.

When it comes to homegrown ingredients, it doesn’t get more quintessentially Canadian than maple. It's right there on our flag. Maple syrup is part of our DNA, but unless you grew up tapping trees and sipping sap straight from the bucket, the fact that you can drink maple water may be lost on you. Canadian producers are working hard to change that, making inroads at home and abroad. Read More

Canada appeared last week to be undergoing a paroxysm over U.S. President Donald Trump. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau incited public fears three weeks ago by declaring before a microphone he knew to be open that Trump was serious about taking over Canada. A knowledgeable and worldly friend who always has perceptive opinions on world affairs wrote me last weekend expressing his concern that Trump was making a spheres of influence agreement with Russia that would permit President Vladimir Putin to absorb Ukraine while the U.S. took over Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal Zone. None of this is happening. When he was first elected president eight years ago, many otherwise or apparently serious people made outrageous allegations, such as the national intelligence director, James Clapper, who declared that Trump was a Russian intelligence asset who had been elected by Russian manipulation of the 2016 election. All of this was demonstrated to be utter fiction. And we have now, after Trump has surmounted corrupt political impeachments and prosecutions and assassination attempts, and won an uncontestedly fair election (and complete acquittal) from the majority of his countrymen, graduated to the point where his legitimacy as president is accepted, but fantastic schemes of collusion with America’s rivals and aggression against its allies are being imputed to him by people who know better.
