‘Americans don’t know enough about Canada’: prominent Washington voice for Canada-U.S. relationship shutters
There are hopes of reconstituting the efforts of the Canada Institute in a new organization, but it won’t be attached to the Wilson Center.
And now comes the hard part: negotiating with Trump
Canadians can’t count on a flip-flop on tariffs since the U.S. president seems obsessed with undermining Canada in keeping with his persistent lusting after its territory.
Pragmatist Carney knows how to beat the bully Trump
Mark Carney’s moment in leading world affairs has come. As a pragmatist, he knows how to beat the bully Trump. In facing outward, the 24th and now 25th Canadian prime minister will hold Canada together as a sovereign nation.
Carney revives Liberal fortunes as party secures historic fourth consecutive election victory

Supply management has become a proxy for Canadian nationalism, which means politicians will want to own it during the campaign, say observers.
Vote for ‘we’ instead of ‘me’ in this election
Canada’s sovereignty is explicitly being targeted by the failed state of America. We will need to continue to rip down inter-provincial trade barriers like our country depends on it. We will need to be unified in the fight to maintain Canada as a sovereign democracy, not pitting regions against each other or trying to shoulder a better outcome for one group over another. That’s not really Canadian.
Canada has to create an alternative to foreign takeovers
If Canada is to succeed, we have to recognize not only that we live in a shifting geopolitical order, but also in a technological revolution, an essential green transition to avert the worst impacts of climate change, and the shifting needs of an aging population.
