As a result of the illegal war on Iran, Canada’s oil giants are raking in billions they didn’t earn and don’t deserve. It’s time to stop war profiteering and return money back to Canadian families and communities. Take action: 350.org/canada/theyp...

David Moscrop is absolutely right. Canada must insist that we have an independent foreign policy and will not have our foreign relations dictated by the United States. See his "Is Canada A Country, Or The 51st State?" open.substack.com/pub/davidmos...

No wonder the people of Ottawa kicked this guy into the unemployment line. For 3 weeks the capital was occupied. Citizens were threatened. Businesses were forced to shut from harassment. Poilievre brought the donuts. Canada is dealing with threat from Trump while Poilievre whines about the convoy.

Caving to Trump does not pay. Canada should retaliate proportionately.

It is always worth reading what Stewart Prest says! theconversation.com/what-if-albe...

"The petition...supposes that being on unceded [Musqueam] territory and not saying anything about it is not political, and that acknowledging it is political...of course, it’s no more political to acknowledge it than to be there without acknowledging it." thetyee.ca/News/2025/06...

"The grand story of freedom isn’t just about the loss of the republican ideal of independence to an ascendant liberalism; it’s about the invention of the ideal of free self-creation by liberals and socialists, who continue to squander their contribution even now." www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is a very sweet conversation, one Carney alluded to in his victory speech. www.cpac.ca/leaders-tour...

I think Carney could have been better prepared for these questions: how will a throne speech by King Charles play in Quebec? And how does inviting the sovereign from another country to open our parliament protect our sovereignty? To be clear: there are good answers. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

In his election night speech, Mark Carney channelled Aristotle. He said: "We become just by doing just acts, brave by doing brave acts. When we are kind, kindness grows. When we seek unity, unity grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows." globalnews.ca/news/1115459...

U.S. President Donald Trump’s punitive tariffs and threats of annexation have unleashed an unprecedented wave of pride and indignation among Canadians. It’s a curious thing for a mild-mannered country.

Universities and university professors have a right and a duty to defend academic freedom and the condition of existence of the university. This article provides chilling examples of the consequences of their failure to do so.

Canada needs to crack down on drugs and guns crossing the border...from the US.

I enjoyed speaking to a very congenial and distinguished group of concerned citizens in Probus today. My topic was oligarchy in the Americas. DM me if interested.

Trump tariff threats boost expressions of national pride in Canada. I suspect the pride was always there but the crisis has made folks feel the need to show it. angusreid.org/pride-in-can...

Canadians are on the frontline of resistance to fascism. Can we feel some pride in that?
