Chris Selley: Indigenous crime victims get ‘less justice’ by government design

26 janvier 2026 à 22:39
Our friends at the Investigative Journalism Bureau (IJB) published some important data over the weekend with respect to Indigenous female victims of crime. This is perhaps the most-discussed group of crime victims in recent Canadian history, culminating in the 2019 report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG).

26 janvier 2026 à 15:36
The bromance between U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney is over. The president is back to jeering at the prime minister after Carney’s “hegemon” speech in Switzerland. And Liberals are back in their election comfort zone, acting as defenders of Canada against American hostility, as Brian Lilley discusses with Stuart Thomson and Tasha Kheiriddin, editors of Postmedia’s Political Hack newsletter. It worked so well for Carney during the last election, they say this could be just the thing for him to call an election to try for a majority. They get into the advantages and risks, and the problem for Conservatives, who are still trying to regroup from the last time they got flattened by this drama. (Recorded Jan. 23, 2026.) Read More
