With the conclusion of the G7 gathering in Kananaskis on Tuesday, it’s an open question whether the session was merely unproductive or downright counterproductive, but there’s one proposition that’s difficult to dispute, and it’s this.

Khalila Mohammed had a hell of a day on July 7, 2023. When an alleged drug-related robbery outside the Toronto supervised-injection clinic where she worked led to a shootout, in which an innocent passerby was killed, she decided to help the wounded alleged robber (who is not accused of firing a shot, but is charged with manslaughter): tending to his injuries; stashing away his bloody clothes; facilitating his fleeing the scene; advising him to lay low; and lying to police about what happened. She later pursued a romantic relationship with him. Read More

Monday must have been painful for President Donald J. Trump. On the tenth anniversary of his escalator descent from the gaudy heights of Trump Tower, he was confined to a modest conference table, one amongst the G7, in a Kananaskis, Alberta room decorated in modest alpine themes, rather than late-Saddam gilded baubles. By evening he was gone, back to Washington to preside over the Israel-Iran war. Given that his G7 counterparts are perpetually on tenterhooks should he launch an eruption, his early leave-taking was likely unlamented. Read More

Well, at least he didn’t walk out. While U.S. President Donald Trump left the G7 meeting in Kananaskis Monday night, it wasn’t in the huff the world witnessed at Charlevoix in 2018. This time, after a day of huddles and the signing of a U.K.–U.S. mini-deal that slashed auto tariffs, Trump hurried back to the White House because of “what’s going on in the Middle East.” His exit left Prime Minister Mark Carney and the remaining five leaders to hammer out the rest of the agenda, from trade to security to artificial intelligence, while keeping a nervous eye on the Iran-Israel war.  Read More

It used to be that my agenda contained reminders of upcoming events like lunches, bridge games or concerts at Place-des-Arts, but no more.

Here are some of them. Read More

The last federal election was not an honest conversation about Canada’s place in the world. It was a performance — slick, poll-tested, and ultimately hollow. Mark Carney presented himself as a principled adversary to Donald Trump, a steward of Canadian sovereignty who would stand up to a dangerous and unpredictable United States. And now, just months into his premiership, he insists “the G7 is nothing without U.S. leadership,” his government has resisted retaliating against American tariffs, and has even expressed desire to join Trump's Golden Dome missile defence program.

Ordering a "proffee" at your local café may still elicit quizzical looks, but protein coffee is gaining momentum. In March, Tim Hortons launched a new range of high-protein dairy beverages, including a latte containing 20 grams of the nutrient in a medium-sized cup. Now, Starbucks is entering the fray. The coffee giant announced at a leadership conference in Las Vegas on June 10 that it's testing protein coffee at select locations in the United States. Read More

I don’t know if Canadians have the interest or the patience to submit themselves yet another time to another chapter of the interminable saga of the conflict that I have been embroiled in for what seems like forever with the relatively newly renamed Ontario College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts. I know I’m sick and tired of the whole affair, having moved out of the country in no small part in consequence of the prejudice, ideologically-motivated shenanigans, false morality and petty power mongering of that august body.

There are many lingering questions about the two-day killing spree by Gabriel Wortman that killed 22 people in Nova Scotia in 2020, even after a joint federal/provincial commission wrapped up its inquiry. Investigative journalist Paul Palango joins Brian Lilley to discuss why he thinks all signs point to the RCMP covering up that Wortman was working undercover for them before his rampage, as he alleges in his new book, Anatomy of a Cover-Up. He suggests it’s why police did nothing about reports that Wortman had illegal guns, and why the story of Wortman’s eventual killing by cop, and the account of his girlfriend, don’t line up with the evidence. If he’s right, then Canadians have been fed a lot of stories by officials — and we finally deserve the truth. (Recorded June 12, 2025.) Read More
