How would you choose, if you were the leader of a feminist political party? In Sault Ste. Marie, an experienced and respected Indigenous lawyer — who is female — wanted to be the Ontario Liberal candidate in the 2022 election. She grew up on the reserve, and put herself through

What happens when the dog catches the car? You know what we mean: dogs sometimes chase after passing cars, but they never really catch them. The cars are faster than the dogs. But what does the dog do when it actually catches the car? In this little analogy, the dogs

Justin Trudeau. Campaigning. With Doug Ford. Well, not quite, but pretty close. Just this week — just one (1) day before the formal launch of the 2022 Ontario election campaign! — there were Messrs. Trudeau and Ford. At a campaign-style event, announcing a huge auto sector investment. Trudeau with Ford.

Think the U.S. Supreme Court decision to outlaw abortion is irrelevant to Canada? Think again. Because Politico’s bombshell revelation Monday night — a leak of a draft opinion of America’s highest court on the seminal decision that legalized abortion in the United States, Roe v. Wade — is going to

Ukraine. Remember that? Country in Eastern Europe, 40 million citizens. Has been invaded by Vladimir Putin, a war criminal, who has been murdering thousands of Ukrainian men, women and children since Feb. 22. It was in all the papers, Putin’s Ukrainian war. Everyone, everywhere, was paying attention to it. And

The great Calgary Herald writer Howard Solomon arched an eyebrow. “Owners of media properties,” said Howard, “should be seen and not heard.” There was general agreement about that, in the Herald newsroom, and we all soberly nodded our heads. Except, even as a lowly summer Herald student and general assignment

Full disclosure: Doug Ford is going to win. And, before we get this little column going, further full disclosure: my firm sometimes lobbies his government, just like we did all the ones before his. Also: we’re on the Ontario government’s standing offer list for communications. But we haven’t gotten a

Life imitates art. The reverse is true, too. But what does it mean when those who promote art – those who are supposed to know a great deal about art – are engaged in actual lies? What happens when all that they are “imitating“ is woke stupidity? It’s a fair

What if I’m wrong? That’s all I learned in law school, really. Six or seven seminal legal decisions, and that: To ask yourself, always, if you’re wrong about a conclusion you’ve reached, or a prejudice you’ve nurtured. Pierre Poilievre, with his night rallies filled with pink skin and grey heads,

Here’s one thing we know for certain about this week’s federal budget. It’s going to pass. That’s a line from veteran NDP strategist Karl Belanger, and it is both (a) true and (b) funny. True, because the Jagmeet Singh New Democrats and the Justin Trudeau Liberals are indisputably, now, the

We don’t even have to ask. About whether you’ve got friends and family who have gotten COVID, that is. Because we all know the truth: lots and lots of people are getting it. Everyone is talking about it, all over. Maybe you’ve gotten it, too. Maybe you’ve got it right

So, I’m Catholic. Irish Catholic, in fact. Every Irish Catholic knows what that means, pretty much. Uncles who were priests, aunts who were nuns, Church every Sunday, the sacraments, all of it. When they were younger, my four kids came to church with me. Most of my closest friends, like

Look, Justin Trudeau is many things. He’s disinterested in ethics, as evidenced by his appalling conduct in serial scandals — the Aga Khan, SNC-Lavalin, the WE “charity.” He’s indifferent to real racism, as evidenced by his willingness, as an adult, to wear racist blackface and thereby mock Black people.
