I’m a proud Albertan and a proud Canadian.

Trump is threatening our sovereignty, and separatist talk is getting louder in Alberta and Quebec.

A united Canada is a stronger Canada. Anyone who wants to lead our party or any party

There’s no room for doubt.

Opinion: Mark Carney had no choice but to go ‘elbows down’ – all our allies already have Canada’s partial reprieve from U.S. tariffs depends on the USMCA, but that arrangement could soon fall apart

While I agree that #Canada cannot stand on its own against the US, I find it disheartening that world leaders have capitulated to #Trump. If several countries had banded together and stood up to the US we would all be better off. Is it lack of courage? www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

The Economic Consequences of Destroying Harvard Freedom is on the line. But so are jobs.

I find most of the Trump administrations actions disturbing, but am particularly concerned about their attack on post-secondary institutions.

We need to talk about Rachel Because our democracy is not going to make it through the next years without strong journalists.

U.S. could block Canadian attempts to buy new fighter jets to replace F-35s, warn analysts Defence analysts say the Americans could derail attempts to buy F-35 alternatives, as all of the fighter jets contain U.S.-built equipment.

It seems like a bad idea to buy fighter jets from a country that wants to annex us. Portugal and Germany seem to think so too. We have to find suppliers of military equipment who aren't American.
