Dear prime minister, please address the nuclear threat to life on Earth: from a Hiroshima survivor
I am a survivor of the atomic destruction of Hiroshima, a crime against humanity made possible in part by Canada’s crucial contributions to the Manhattan Project. I have told the story of my miraculous escape from hell countless times because I have never lost hope in the capacity of humanity to save itself from the worst of its inventions.
How to beat the MAGA-maniacs
First, stop reacting to Donald Trump. You don’t beat a megalomaniac by kicking him in the orange juice industry after he has just finished pummelling your entire economy. Any competent strategist knows that to win wars, you must seize, and keep, the initiative. Surprise the Trump cabal.
This new, reinvigorated strain of nativism will not end with Trump

Canadians face a new reality as the U.S. abandons 75 years of rules-based, liberal world order
U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive fixation with this country and his constant denigration of Canadians and our right to exist as a nation are shifting attitudes here with dizzying speed.
Poilievre’s ‘Canada First’ rally cry is a defining moment for Canadian conservatism
This neatly houses Pierre Poilievre’s domestic agenda while giving the Conservatives the flexibility to prove they are up to the task of fighting for a way of life that has slowly been eroded.
Raising Canada’s international profile is in our best interests
If Canada is perceived as inconsequential, we will neither be taken seriously by the Americans in any negotiation nor be supported by allies.
