Will 2021 be any better than 2020?

We can be horrified by the actions of those among us, by systems that perpetuate racism, and by the people who uphold the system, to the white supremacists in our midst. I’m not sure we’ve learned the lesson yet about how to work through this horror. What will we collectively do about white supremacists? What will we collectively do about systemic racism?

An angry mob of Trump supporters stunned the world on Jan. 6, 2021, when thousands stormed the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., to interrupt the certification of Joe Biden's successful election as president of the United States. The Trump supporters were encouraged by outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump, who told them 'We love you,' and who still hasn't congratulated Mr. Biden on winning the presidential election.

Carney has an obligation to better define his priorities for the Canada-U.S. relationship

OpinionBY DAVID CRANE
