Turning trade challenges into opportunities: Canada must leverage diversity to build a resilient economy
The goal ought to be to move beyond simply responding to immediate trade conflicts.
Wiseman’s column full of ‘hysterical inaccuracies’: letter writer
Re: “Canada in the world and the war in Gaza” (The Hill Times, by Nelson Wiseman, Jan. 20). I was frankly surprised and disappointed to see this opinion column in The Hill Times. It rivals the Toronto Sun in its hysterical inaccuracies and promotion of racism. The column floods the reader with conjecture, half-truths, and inaccurate statements to […]
No deal under duress
Ottawa shouldn’t be in a rush to review the Canada–U.S.–Mexico Agreement.
In Israel-Palestine war, dehumanization is not the answer: Dirlik
Larry Shapiro would undoubtedly be offended by the assertion that the “bedrock of Jewish culture” is their victimization by the Third Reich. Yet, he has no problem hurling against Palestinians that vile and racist claim. Palestinians naturally mourn their dispossession and lament their ongoing occupation.

Apply critical thinking to nuclear waste, write Wigginton and Alexander
Re: “Was expecting facts, not attacks: O’Connor,” and “OPG plays guessing game with its ‘predictions’: Greening,” (The Hill Times, letters to the editor, Jan. 27) As two scientists who grew up in England before moving to Canada, we enjoyed the irony of having Wendy O’Connor accuse us of ad hominem attacks. The irony will be […]
Moderation against tyranny is the wrong choice
It’s obvious that the goal of this tyrannous Trump administration is to break government and democracy. There won’t be any ‘going back.’ We need to do the best we can to move beyond the frozen horror, and get to doing the work to protect democracy here and abroad with all allies we can find.
Canada is not short of opportunities to build efficient and effective supply networks
The time has probably come for Canada to be recognized for more than just ‘hewers of wood and drawers of water.’
