Canadians don’t usually wear our patriotism on our sleeves. We like to keep it classy, subtle, sophisticated. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.

Like most Canadians, I was sick of Trump even before he was sworn in on January 20th. Now, pretty well everything that comes out of his mouth is a half-true, ignorant opinion, based on someone else’s ignorant opinion, or a total fabrication. His repeated claims that he wants to make Canada the 51st state show
Ontario’s election is called for February 27th. Premier Ford has made a mistake in not defending Canadian history from attempts to topple statues and rename schools bearing the names of historical figures including Henry Dundas, Egerton Ryerson, and Sir John A.

At a February 11th campaign event focused on her party’s plan to make life more affordable for youth, Ontario Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie pledged to cap international student enrolment at a maximum of 10% per college or university. British Columbia should emulate this approach. In explaining her reasoning for this policy, Crombie cut to the

The history books may forever speculate about the true reason why President Trump launched a tariff campaign against Canada, Mexico, and China in February 2025. Whatever the motive, one fascinating effect has been the resurgence of Canadian nationalism. In his speech addressing the threatened tariffs, Prime Minister Trudeau called on citizens to “choose Canada” by

If John Turner (1929-2020) was still alive today, it would be one of Canadian history’s most iconic “I told you so” moments. The 1988 election campaign was largely fought over the single issue of free trade with the United States. Turner warned Canadians that the ultimate outcome of unrestricted free trade would be economic and
