The weekend political panel, on trade and the border. na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

So this just arrived. On sale October 28.

In this week's political panel, we talk about Canada Post, Mark Carney's travels and the travails of Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree. na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=http%3A%...

Here is today’s political panel on the hurt feelings of the American ambassador na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Concerning the Russian drone incursion into Polish airspace, we will need to watch very carefully what happens next in the Baltics. Canada leads a multinational NATO brigade in Latvia. These are dangerous times.

How I wish someone had taken a picture of the poker group when we first started playing together in university. Thirty-eight years later. Never missed a year. A life blessing.

When I was a kid, people called the first cool nights in August “Ex weather” because they coincided with the arrival of the Canadian National Exhibition. No more need for kids to sleep outdoors on hot, humid nights. Last night in Ottawa was classic Ex weather, with more to come.

I really enjoy doing this panel Saturday at noon ET with Natasha Fatah, Rob Breakenridge and Marty Patriquin. Today’s episode was particularly lively. na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

@darrellbricker and I wrote Breaking Point over six frantic months, through Freeland & Trudeau & Trump and Carney & the election. It's all in the book, but the forces threatening Canada stretch much farther back. Pub date is Oct. 28. You can pre-order now. www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/801993...

I am honoured that Jane Philpott named The Duel as her recommended summer reading. Thank you Dr. Philpott. na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

What an honour and pleasure it was to join ⁦‪@spaikin‬⁩ on set as part of a panel on Canada’s future. This is The Agenda’s final month. The panel airs on TVOntario at 8 and 11 pm tonight. And yes, he is the best interviewer in the country. And my friend.

From @JohnIbbitson.bsky.social: the two national governing parties would take much the same approach in responding to the challenges we face. For better or worse, the Grits and the Tories truly have become Tweedledum and Tweedledee. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

The Hub’s @JohnIbbitson.bsky.social on the debate : it’s hard to see how it advantaged Carney. It’s never a good night when you spend much of the time trying to convince people you are not Justin Trudeau. thehub.ca/2025/04/17/j...

I join those celebrating this brilliant column. Much is going to be lost. If you want that which you love to survive, you must do. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o... via @NYTOpinion

This might be a good time to pick up “A Nation’s Paper: The Globe and Mail in the Life of Canada,” published last year to mark the paper’s 180th year of publication. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/726367/a…

“What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us." This is the most extraordinary statement by a Canadian prime minister in the history of this country. The Trump administration is at war with Canada.

From me, on a proposal to bring greater autonomy to First Nations by transferring taxing powers to reserves. www.fraserinstitute.org/commentary/h...

I was happy to contribute to The Hub’s postgame analysis of Pierre Poilievre’s Flag Day rally. To my eyes, the Conservative leader reclaimed control of the political narrative. Mark Carney won’t easily be able to take it away. thehub.ca/2025/02/17/a...
