Mark Carney finally has the job he’s always wanted. But the ambition and aggression that got him there could be his political undoing. https://macleans.ca/politics/mark-carney-prime-minister-of-canada/

His elbows-up enthusiasm won him the election. Now he’s governing like a Bay Street exec.

16-year-old Canadians can drive, get legally emancipated, make critical health decisions and enroll as officers in the Canadian Armed Forces. Why can’t they vote? https://macleans.ca/politics/lower-the-voting-age/

When Mark Carney announced he was running for Prime Minister, Stephen Maher thought the former Bank of Canada governor might be brittle and smug, more an overbearing CEO than a national leader.

Turns out that's exactly what Canadians wanted.

Mark Carney is smart, skilled and unreasonably accomplished. He’s also aggressive, impatient and famously short-tempered. To survive in Ottawa, he needs to learn to play with others. https://macleans.ca/politics/mark-carney-prime-minister-of-canada/

This Tofino inn relies on temporary foreign workers to make beds, clean rooms and serve breakfast. Losing them would be a death sentence for its business. https://macleans.ca/society/temporary-foreign-workers-bc-canada/

I’ve been running a hotel in Tofino, B.C., since 1996. No matter how much we pay, there aren’t enough Canadians to staff it.

No timeouts. No limits. Total chaos.
