As Canada finds itself at another critical juncture on the pandemic path, we believe that it is time for the federal government to recognize the growing number of COVID-19 infections as a national emergency, and pursuant to subsection 6(1), based on the definition contained in 5(b), invoke the Emergencies Act, and the accompanying temporary authorities.Hill Times Columnists
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?
Whatever label is eventually bestowed upon them, none of the Proud Boy members should ever wear the uniform of the CAF.

As COVID-19 has controlled our lives for the last 10 months, it also controls the electoral clock.
If these fanatical white supremacists, anti-Semites, and nut jobs see something in Trump that they absolutely adore, shouldn’t sane people question their own association with that same leader?

Conversations about systemic racism need to move beyond diversity and inclusion, which does not solve racism, and move onto dismantling white supremacy, which does.
Mike Pompeo is setting slow-burning fires in plain sight, which is why a European foreign minister recently described him as a ‘political pyromaniac’—and this is his ‘scorched-earth’ policy.
Unexpected and dramatic events often occur during elections and they can quickly reset the odds. So even though Trudeau is looking good right now, if he calls an election, he’d still be rolling the dice.
Newfoundland and Labrador is a place where entrenched special-interest bodies within and outside the electoral system will make it difficult to have the debate and discussion that is really needed.
The rationale for those who believe an election is coming rests largely on an accurate premise: minority governments, like May flies, don’t last long. In fact, minorities usually fall in less than two years. Trudeau won in 2019, and it is now 2021. You get the drift.

At the risk of ruining my already blemished record, I really don’t think we are headed for an election this fall. There does not seem to be a critical mass of support, and it is highly unlikely that a party will be drawn into one against their will.
While Trump’s incitement of the mayhem at the Capitol has hurt his standing with Americans, generally, polls indicate his followers by and large have not been chastened or turned against the outgoing president.
At the risk of jinxing it, it seems like the virtual spaces our lives have migrated to in lockdown have become more humane.
