Who raises our children in B.C.? Parents, or schoolteachers and administrators? The latter two seem to think it’s their right. Examples abound. Read More

The World Series has always been a bit of United States pretension. Major League Baseball has an “American League” and a “National League,” with no doubt as to which nation is the referent of the latter adjective. This World Series will be a touch more “worldly” than most, including teams from two (!) countries. Read More

President Donald Trump said he’s increasing U.S. tariffs on Canada by 10% in response to an anti-tariff advertisement by the province of Ontario that is roiling one of the world’s biggest bilateral trade relationships. Read More

Did the dustup over Ontario’s $75 million Ronald Reagan ad — the one telling Americans that even the Gipper believed that, “over the long run, such trade barriers (tariffs) hurt every American worker and consumer” — expose two truths and a lie? Read More

This Sunday marks the final "Run for Their Lives" walk in Thornhill, Ontario, a weekly event held in a local mall for the last two years. It was organized by Toronto resident, Michelle Factor, as one of approximately 250 weekly walks around the world bringing together Jewish and non‑Jewish allies every Sunday to demand the safe return of hostages held by Hamas.

This past Tuesday I attended a discussion between former prime ministers Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper sponsored by the C.D. Howe Institute in the annual Aaron Regent dinner, and moderated by its affable and well-informed president, Bill Robson. The issue was national unity. In the contemporary manner, guests were invited to indicate the level of their concern on that subject before the discussion started and after it had ended. The majority remained at least partially concerned at the end of the exchange but less so than at the beginning, so they found the words of these two men who between them were prime minister for nearly 20 years, somewhat encouraging.

In the face of economic uncertainty, Canada and Canadian premiers need to focus on what they control. Since U.S. Donald Trump’s 51st State tweets back in February, Prime Minister Carney and the premiers have done their best to chest thump and keep their “elbows up” to show Canadians that we got this. Well, we don’t got this and we have so far done nothing. At best, things are no better, and they might be getting worse.  Read More

OTTAWA — Pierre Poilievre used to share a piece of advice when it came to political campaigning. Read More

Christopher Jung, a 73-year-old Toronto taxi driver originally from Poland, was “the happiest he’d been in a long time” in October 2021 — the COVID lockdowns had eased, and could finally return to work. He wouldn’t live to see November. On an evening shift Oct. 24, a teen he had driven to Scarborough would reach under the plexiglass divider with his handgun and fire a fatal seven shots into his body. Read More

A near-majority of Canadians support the development of a new oil pipeline to meet international demands for energy, and economic demands at home, while nearly three-quarters say pipelines are important to Canada's economic future, new polling from Leger shows. Read More

STANSTEAD, Que. -- In a picturesque town on the Canada-U.S. border, workers under dark clouds were building a new entrance for Canadians into a library to replace one that had long symbolized bilateral closeness. Read More

President Donald Trump’s vituperative reaction to Ontario’s anti-tariff advertisements — the ones borrowing a 1987 speech by then president Ronald Reagan expounding on the benefits of free trade — are unlikely to leave a mark on Premier Doug Ford, even though they could be blamed for Trump scuppering Canada-U.S. trade talks. (Ontario said Friday it would be pulling the ads soon after Ford spoke with Prime Minister Mark Carney.) Even Ford’s most spittle-flecked detractors, and there is no shortage of those, hate Trump vastly more. Read More

The U.S. will soon require all non-citizens, including Canadians, entering and leaving the country to be photographed as part of new Department of Homeland Security regulations. Read More

OTTAWA — An Ontario government anti-tariff ad posthumously narrated by Ronald Reagan is no doubt racking up plenty of views after being cited by Donald Trump as a rationale for cutting off cross-border trade talks. One thing viewers won't learn from the controversial TV spot is that Ontarians can thank Reagan's protectionism for the province's thriving network of Japanese-owned auto plants and parts manufacturers.
