Why do high-income seniors continue to receive OAS payments while low-income seniors need more support and the Canada Child Benefit is reduced at a much lower household income than OAS. Is this fair to younger generations who face higher taxes to fund OAS for high-income seniors?

Carney’s better off without a big Trump trade deal. Just ask the Europeans

There has been plenty of buyer’s remorse in countries that signed hasty agreements with Washington. Canada would be wise to wait

But the US has no problem with regulations, etc., and neither does Alberta so without those regulations it should be smooth sailing. Maybe?

Danielle Smith’s pipeline ransom note to Mark Carney is using Canada as her hostage

Pressing the Prime Minister for a commitment is fair play. But the Alberta Premier’s dramatic ultimatum over a pipeline is unreasonable
