Unspinning the Trumpian disinformation on DEI: why it matters for all Canadians
The vague attacks on DEI distract from the very real ways that Canadians interact with equity-oriented federal programs that bolster opportunity and reduce barriers.
The case for a Christmas election: bring it on
For many Canadians, if an election would rid the country of Pierre Poilievre’s snarky social media hits, his obsessive focus on enemies, his hypocrisy—lamenting the growing number of families using food banks, while living in a taxpayer-funded mansion with chef, driver and domestic help—they could hold the election on Dec. 25.
If Poilievre goes down as party leader, it will be due to external pressure, not caucus dissent, say senior Conservatives
To stop outside sniping, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will have to get more than 80-per-cent support in the upcoming leadership review, says Keith Beardsley, a former high-level staffer in Stephen Harper’s PMO.

The Conservative ‘come-to-Jesus’ moment is past due
The Tories keep electing leaders who can’t adjust to changing political landscapes, or can’t read a room.
Poilievre still isn’t selling hope, just nastiness
It may be true that Stephen Harper still supports the current Conservative leader. But his denials to one side, if Harper is having doubts about the current leader’s stewardship of the party, Pierre Poilievre’s days as leader are numbered. Calgary will tell the tale.
Poilievre’s Trumpian language to appease some supporters risks his losing the rest of the country
Quebec Conservatives are now privately speaking out against their leader to the media. Whether these MPs are worried enough to organize their delegations to get to Calgary in January remains to be seen.
A message to Conservatives: it’s time to cut the cord with Trudeau
The Conservatives’ focus vanishes as quickly as a former prime minister’s shirt on a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara when they turn their gaze to that same fellow.
Conservative attacks on DEI are nothing new, but fighting past battles risks future growth, say politicos
The Tories’ latest salvo on DEI policies and Trudeau-era grievances appeals to ‘the basest of the base,’ but could alienate potential new voters, says Liberal strategist Greg MacEachern.
