‘He was very opposed to tariffs’: Former Reagan adviser says Ontario anti-tariff ad was fair to the former president

31 octobre 2025 à 20:24
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump halted Canada-U.S. trade talks last week in an angry response to a TV ad run by Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government featuring Ronald Reagan’s 1987 comments criticizing tariffs. “Ronald Reagan loved tariffs,” Trump said, labelling the ad “fraudulent.” Read More

Doug Ford delivers a rallying cry for the Blue Jays in the Washington Post

31 octobre 2025 à 20:15
Ford begins with a softball. "Canada and the United States are neighbours, allies and best friends," he writes. "We have stood shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield, defending shared values of freedom and democracy. Free trade between our two countries has ushered in decades of unprecedented wealth and prosperity, creating millions of jobs on both sides of the border." Read More

Terry Newman: CTV’s unbalanced reporting is what is a threat to democracy

31 octobre 2025 à 19:58
A CTV article published on Tuesday calling Alberta's choice to use the notwithstanding clause to get striking teachers back to work "a threat to democracy" has caused quite a stir — not for the reasons you might expect, namely, debates between the clause and Charter rights, but because of how CTV crafted the story. Readers complained that the story was biased, sensational, and lacked balance in its sourcing of expert interview subjects, one of whom revealed to the Post that they were recently interviewed by CTV on the topic, but his comments or comments like his, never made it into the article. If anything is a threat to democracy, it's an under-informed populace. Read More

With global electricity demand rising, Canada faces a nuclear dilemma

31 octobre 2025 à 15:47
Canada’s uranium is a strategic asset, but recent industry choices suggest growing dependence on U.S. technology, enrichment, and markets — potentially limiting Ottawa’s control and future industrial benefits. SMRs require enriched uranium that Canada cannot supply, and the Cameco deal positions Westinghouse reactors under U.S. systems, raising questions about whether Canada is becoming a passive supplier rather than a nuclear leader — or, as Prime Minister Mark Carney puts it, an “energy superpower.” Read More

Avi Benlolo: Hate speech law is sorely needed

31 octobre 2025 à 14:06
The Combatting Hate Act (Bill C-9) is officially making its way through parliamentary committee review to amend the criminal code. The legislation aims to strengthen our laws against hate propaganda, hate crimes and access to religious or cultural places. I have been a strong advocate of these reforms calling for a direct response to the rising tide of antisemitism and the extremism of pro-Hamas demonstrations since October 7 2023.  Read More

Raymond J. de Souza: King Charles III wore two crowns in historic Vatican visit

31 octobre 2025 à 11:00
Pope Leo XIV had two royal visits in the last week, King Charles III and Queen Camilla first and then, a few days later, Belgium’s King Philippe and Queen Mathilde. Careful watchers of protocol — and if protocol is not kept at the Vatican and by royal houses, who will keep it? — noted that Camilla wore all black in the presence of the Holy Father, a feminine tradition now often ignored. Mathilde, in contrast, wore all white, a privilege granted to Catholic queens, of which there are only about a half dozen remaining in the world. Read More

Kerry Sun: The teachers’ strike always belonged in the political realm. Sec. 33 is justified

31 octobre 2025 à 11:00
After a weeks-long strike that severely tested parents’ resolve and undermined their children’s right to receive an education, Premier Danielle Smith’s government has directed Alberta teachers to return to work. Bill 2, the Back to School Act, was passed into law earlier this week. Back-to-work legislation of this kind would not have been unusual only a decade ago, before the Supreme Court of Canada constitutionalized a “right to strike.” Now, however, setting reasonable limits on strike action in the name of the broader community has required the use of Section 33 of the Charter, also known as the notwithstanding clause or parliamentary supremacy clause.
