I support a lot of PM Carney’s agenda, but I can’t decide what’s the greater surprise: the apparent downgrading of climate change as one of his top policy priorities, or the public quiescence of so many Liberal MPs & cabinet ministers who didn’t used to support drill-baby-drill.

The seemingly outsized cuts to Global Affairs Canada in Budget 2025 are hard to square with the government’s repeated call to expand and deepen Canada's international partnerships. Reinvesting in the military is welcome – but defence is just one tool of our international policy.

That Trump would send this man to represent him in Canada is neither surprising nor very consequential. While our government must respect his office, private groups have no obligation to give him a platform so that he can pour scorn on Canadians. globalnews.ca/news/1145250...
