Canada fails to meet key principle of nuclear safety: Ottawa activist
A March 2025 report by the International Atomic Energy Agency flagged a serious problem in Canada’s nuclear governance regime.

Carney’s ambitious agenda runs counter to how Ottawa operates
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s bold agenda will undoubtedly meet obstacles in the form of bureaucratic inertia and the opinions of highly influential voices, including First Nations groups.

These protesters passionately disagree with Trump’s ruthless round-up, detention, and deportation of hundreds of immigrants to a prison in El Salvador. This is the heart of the matter. Trump doesn’t like Gavin Newsom. He doesn’t like California, the most Democratic state in the country. And he doesn’t like anyone who stands up to him.

The generational imperative for Canada to embrace its resource advantage
Liberals cannot afford to simply tolerate Canada’s resource economy. They must champion it.
Giving Canadian critical minerals ‘a reasonable chance’

Before we get our resources to market, we need to make sure those markets actually want them
Canada was built on forestry, but if we want to ensure that that industry and the over 200,000 people employed in it can continue to thrive, things are going to have to change.
Trust can’t be legislated, but it can be built
First Nations must be included as business partners from the outset, and it’s a question of laying out a framework for how to move projects forward with their involvement.
