Carney revives Liberal fortunes as party secures historic fourth consecutive election victory
Malek-Michel Jamali, one of Carney’s speechwriters, who was at the TD Place Monday night watching the night unfold, said Canadians are feeling ‘anxiety’ as a result of threats from the U.S., and that Carney’s message resonated with Canadians.
The Canadian dream doesn’t have to be built, we are already living it
The basic unit of Canadian democracy is a caring relationship. It’s the ethic of care that unites us. Our elbows are up. Our eyes are open. Our hearts are even wider.
Canada needs an economic and social council to tackle trade war
Financial markets dislike uncertainty, especially during trade wars. Consequently, U.S. tariffs are likely to increase prices and could lead to a decline in global production, along with unprecedented political problems.
Trump-era elections in the Anglosphere
A measure of how Trumpism does in the export market will be found in the other parts of the ‘Anglosphere,’ and happily there are two elections in that zone in the next two weeks: Canada and Australia. They couldn’t be farther apart geographically, but with the great exception of the ‘French fact’ in Quebec they couldn’t be closer in their history and politics.
Supply management consensus emerges but Grits, Tories accuse each other of past capitulation
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.
The future of Canadian defence will not look like the past
There should be no denying that, for Canada and for our allies, we have a unique chance to diversify and expand our economic and security relationships that will be of mutual benefit.
American attacks on Canada echo Russian playbook with enemies
U.S. President Donald Trump’s approach to Canada mimics Russian narratives targeting Ukraine: that neighbouring democracies are illegitimate, dangerous, and ripe for domination.
Trump: a window of opportunity
Donald Trump’s minions may not have told him yet, but last week was not just a temporary setback in his crusade for high tariffs. It was the end of that road. Bring those tariffs back in 90 days, and the bond market will shut him down even faster next time.
