Referendums don’t override the constitution, and provinces can’t unilaterally rewrite the federation.
Lessons some provincial governments clearly skipped in junior high social studies. And yet, in certain corners of Alberta, judicial review is now being painted as tyranny.

When longstanding border disputes erupt into five days of combat that kill dozens, the international community cannot shrug and pretend this is an equal struggle between equal actors. Our responsibility is to look at facts, not framing.

The mainstream media press corps needs to stand together against Trump’s misogyny & sexism.
It also needs to collectively push back when the Orange Turd refuses to answer questions.

Former ABC News correspondent and anchor, Terry Moran, and I talk about how the current press corps is not meeting the moment and how capitulation by big media companies is setting the stage for a rise in independent journalism.

Negotiation is not peace. It is surrender disguised as diplomacy. And when it comes to Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine, surrender is precisely what the Kremlin seeks.

DUI Hire, Pete Hegseth, has been methodically destroying the prior JAG corp to remake its lawyers to be more aggressive and lawless.
I've got the details of the red flags since earlier this year and why enabling JAGs will make it easier for Hegseth’s illegal maneuvers.

What Netanyahu is trying to do isn’t just legally dubious — it’s democratically corrosive. A sitting prime minister, indicted on corruption charges, asking the president to wipe the slate clean while still in office? That’s not normal. That’s not democratic accountability.

The NDP’s entire purpose — literally its founding mission — was to be the institutional voice of labour, the poor, renters, young people, and anyone the market screws over.
If it becomes “Liberals with better manners,” the constituency it was built to defend will be politically homeless.

Canadians are told our government is “monitoring the situation.”
Monitoring?
That’s what you do with a storm, not with citizens unlawfully detained by an army that acts with impunity.

Mark Carney can talk all he wants about “rules-based order,” but silence when Canadians are unlawfully detained is not diplomacy — it’s dereliction. You don’t “calibrate” when your citizens are sitting in a jail cell in a country accused of war crimes. You speak. You demand. You act.
