President Ronald Reagan’s winsome voice was widely heard again this week, a most welcome consequence of the Ontario tariff ad and the subsequent tantrum by President Donald Trump. The benefits were manifold. I count at least seven. Read More

A new court ruling combines sociological analysis and the facts of a minor crime to create a new genre of narrative that could be called Rural Ontario Gothic. Here is that ruling, in the case of His Majesty the King and Neil Valliant, handed down October 21, 2025, in Pembroke, Ont., by Justice J.R. Richardson, who compellingly tells the story of a shooting that injured no one but revealed a great deal: Read More

The emerging facts about the imbroglio between the Carney government and the Trump administration over tariffs and related issues are a distressing revelation of how not to conduct such very important negotiations. The Canadian government's version of events was that President Trump had suspended discussions abruptly and angrily over an advertisement taken by the government of Ontario in which the late Republican President Ronald Reagan attacked tariffs in general. It was presented by Mark Carney's government as illustrative, although the public was allowed to reach this conclusion for itself, of the churlish nature of the U.S. president and an absurd overreaction to a minor pinprick from a Canadian provincial premier (Doug Ford). The implication was that our sober and seasoned new prime minister would, if the roles were reversed, effortlessly rise above a minor barb from, let us say the governor of Tennessee or of Pennsylvania. President Trump's initial reaction was good-natured and it was only 24 hours later that the Reagan ad was informally cited as the reason for suspending negotiations. Read More

Billions of dollars in settlement money. Land acknowledgements prayed before any government event. Exclusive access to once-public parks. Soon, perhaps, the court-ordered handover of private property. That’s been the government recipe for reconciliation for the past 10 years, and it’s been nothing but a disaster. Read More

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

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
