  • Mark Carney is advocating for the reinvention of liberal democracy that strengthens social cohesion, while also protecting the planet and its life-sustaining natural environment.
Opinion | BY JOSEPH INGRAM | April 4, 2024

Opinion | BY JOSEPH INGRAM | December 11, 2023
If Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s, left, avoidance of the consequences of only three criminal charges can contribute to the chaos in the Middle East, we need to be equally concerned at what former U.S. president Donald Trump’s attempts to avoid 91 indictments will lead to, writes Joseph Ingram.

Opinion | BY JOSEPH INGRAM | June 24, 2020
Global polls today are consistent in revealing shrinking confidence in U.S. leadership, and a growing perception that the Donald Trump administration and its Republican acolytes are remoulding America’s ethos from that of a steward of democratic values, human rights, and a principled ally to other democratic states, into one of a self-centred, uncaring, and unprincipled force that can no longer be relied upon to promote the global public good, writes Joseph Ingram.

Opinion | BY JOSEPH INGRAM | January 20, 2020
The most recent NATO-related exchanges between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Donald Trump, pictured at the White House in 2017, are not just the political testosterone of two alpha males. They do in fact represent starkly contrasting views of the world based on very different histories and distinct personalities, views that are clearly apparent in how the two governments address four inexorable forces that constitute critical fault lines for all humanity; globalization, the demographic transition, automation, and climate change, writes Joe Ingram.
