The axing of the consumer carbon tax marks a major turning point in Canadian climate policy. It fell victim to misinformation and populist attacks.
The newly waged trade war and threats of annexation by Donald Trump may be having a beneficial impact in reminding Canadians of the values that unite them.
While Mark Carney’s outsider status inspires the Liberal faithful, his performance on the campaign trail is more likely to highlight the drawbacks of political inexperience.
Both the tone and timing of Chrystia Freeland’s resignation announcement are seemingly carefully designed to cause the most chaos and discord within the government.
During Donald Trump’s second presidency, both federal and provincial governments should reflect on their recent experiences handling the COVID-19 pandemic and the dangers of being adaptive.
If Canada is prepared to leave Mexico behind in trade negotiations with the U.S., Canadian officials should be prepared for Mexico to do the same. In Trump 2.0, a united front might make more sense.
The 20-year timeline of Canada’s new defence policy, and the fact that several proposed investments will “be explored,” raises serious questions about its commitment to pull its weight in NATO.
The 2023 federal budget provides funding for critical infrastructure and clean energy. But long-term planning is needed to fix chronic problems.
The status quo in terms of Canada’s protection of public officials is untenable and poses a serious risk to the country’s national security.

The speech from the throne is just around the corner. Will the Liberal government make broad and much-needed economic and social change amid the pandemic, or will it give in to the wealthy again?
Women are increasingly taking more visible senior roles in leadership. This reflects their ability to effectively manage difficult situations, as demonstrated by Chrystia Freeland and Kamala Harris.
Reactions to Chrystia Freeland’s appointment as finance minister demonstrate how qualifications and arguments about merit are deployed to women’s disadvantage in politics.
If successful, Chrystia Freeland could help bolster national unity and Canada’s relationships with the U.S. and Mexico. But relentless sexist attacks against her could derail progress.
