Those who claim that it’s not worth building ties with Europe because the continental alliance is “on the decline” are either a few years out of date or are too dependent on ideological messaging from the authoritarian fringe

We’ll soon need to fire up Canada’s immigration engines. The 2025-6 slowdown was sensible, but now reduced levels are stalling economic growth, housing-supply growth and nation building. Here’s how to do it without causing another temporary-visa blowup

Retaliatory tariffs are costly, I get it: I'm a trained economist.

If Trump hadn't repeatedly announced that his goal was to weaken Canada to the point where we'd be begging him to annex us, then I would be on Team No Retaliation. But he did, and I'm not.

Huge respect to Italy who took this stance a decade ago...

Why do people resent the billionaire class and mock the tech bros? This guy would take the vote away from millions of students, fixed income seniors, low income and precarious workers, and give himself extra votes.

Build Canada for the Rich.

Wolfers: "The most important thing for the Canadians to understand now is there is literally no such thing as a deal anymore ... the value of a piece of paper signed by this president is zero. Therefore, you should give up zero to get it."

“The best solution would have been to dramatically cut emissions years ago. The harsh scientific reality is there’s nothing we can do to stop wildfire smoke from blanketing cities for a few days every summer — and it’s going to continue for decades to come.”

@DavidColetto Why not publish your poll then? Better yet, if we're really about polling informing the public discourse it'd be great if a pollster not directly or tangentially involved with one of the candidates got in the field.

New piece at the Globe and Mail! Despite their reputation, young people aren't more spendthrift than past generations. They drink less, they smoke less, they spend less on clothes, and housing takes up an increasing amount of their income.

The Netherlands has introduced a €49 monthly ticket for unlimited nationwide train travel—a bold political response to soaring energy costs.

When gas prices rise, you can double down on car dependency or provide attractive alternatives. The Dutch are (again) picking the latter.

For the 30th year in a row, "Return of the Mack" is the song of the summer

Rats, trench toilets, and brothers-in-arms dying beside you.

The war for Ukraine has now lasted longer than the First World War. And for all that’s changed, some things about today’s trench warfare are grimly familiar.

A massive reality check just hit the "drill, baby, drill" agenda.
The Trump administration's historic auction to open Alaska’s sacred ANWR refuge to oil majors just suffered a total market collapse—attracting bids on just 10.5% of the land.
Here is what happened: 🧵🇺🇸🐻‍❄️🏔️ 👇

John Mayer’s first album ROOM FOR SQUARES was released 25 years ago this week, so I wrote a long critical overview of his career. Possibly the most interesting career arc for any 21st pop star? Certainly a wild ride.

We are officially in World Cup month. Please leave your xG charts, pressing percentages, and defensive metrics in the club season. International tournament football is strictly decided by pure vibes, individual brilliance, tactical survival, and a random goalkeeper turning into prime Lev Yashin for two weeks. Enjoy the entertainment and put the spreadsheets away.

The Ontario Legislature is never quieter and more respectful than when MPP @solmamakwa speaks. He spoke in recognition of Indigenous History Month today, in Oji-Cree, his first language. #onpoli
