Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government has introduced new legislation that would allow patients to pay for medical care themselves, directly or with personal insurance. This may sound like private care, but it’s not what people might assume — or hope for. Read More

I didn’t suspect, when I became a nurse, that I was entering a profession wherein I would be unable to express my political views, in my private life, without being fired and put through interminable legal hell. But that’s what I got, in British Columbia. Read More

Talk of appeasement is in the air. Thus a word ought to be said about its patron saint, as it were, Neville Chamberlain. Actually, several words, well chosen, offered by Sir Winston Churchill, who opposed with all his might Chamberlain’s appeasement policy, and then marshalled all his formidable rhetorical powers in eulogizing him.

Where diversity data collection goes, quotas often follow. That’s why it’s concerning that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) ordered Netflix, Amazon and every other major online streamer to collect diversity data as a condition of operating here. Read More

From police brutality to that supposed “genocide” in Gaza, few words are more beloved by progressives right now than “complicit.” But what if some of the deepest levels of political complicity actually centre around the highest reaches of the Democrats themselves. Read More

When it comes to the world of comic invention and linguistic pyrotechnics, few dramatists of the 20th century could match the scope and sustained success of British writer Tom Stoppard, who has died aged 88. Read More

In 2025, cookbooks revelled in the joy of gathering. Of celebrating heritage, togetherness — and vegetables. Some dug deep into single subjects, breaking ground in first-of-their-kind collections and making something new out of something old. Others reminded us not to forget where we came from and who we've lost. Here are 10 of the year's best. Read More

Despite the fervour of social media it is rare to see a federal politician in handcuffs and under arrest, so an old photo of Steven Guilbeault, who until Thursday was a member of cabinet, always piques curiosity, perhaps now even more because the circumstances of his resignation and of his 2001 arrest intertwine.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is absolutely right in emphasizing the importance for his province and for Canada of the Ring of Fire mining region approximately 500 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay. It is now generally recognized throughout the western world that we have been imprudent in allowing ourselves to become excessively dependent on China as a source of strategic minerals. This not only creates a vulnerability of supply in the not unlikely case of substantial strategic disagreements with the government of that country, but also in many areas enables China to manipulate the current price of these minerals by increasing or decreasing production in a way that can make private-sector development of alternate sources commercially inadvisable.

A devious effort is underway in this country to normalize the idea of a “Palestinian state” and delegitimize the State of Israel. In recent weeks, we saw Palestine's terror flag raised outside city halls across Canada, including in Toronto. These moves are deeply troubling as they are eroding our democratic institutions by aligning them with a death-cult ideology inspired by terrorist groups like Hamas. Read More

Had the Great Smith-Carney Pipelines and Climate Pact of 2025 emerged say, five years ago, it would have been considered squarely within the realm of Liberal environmentalism. Instead, because former prime minister Justin Trudeau brought in several anti-business policies, the current prime minister is being feted/scorned as being pro-energy industry by disappointed Liberals and relieved conservatives alike. While Mark Carney deserves credit for negotiating this deal with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, and bringing a rival onside, we're skeptical at the chances a pipeline ever gets built. Read More

It should be obvious by now that the world order that has sustained prosperity in the northern hemisphere in a mostly uninterrupted epoch of peace over the past 80 years is dramatically unravelling. It just might take a while yet before we can definitively pinpoint the moment or the event that caused everything to finally fall apart. Read More
