Powerful editorial in Canada's @globeandmail on the failure to speak plain about antisemitism: "The price of freedom of conscience and safety for Jews ... is set by their enemies."

[Meanwhile in Ukraine @MeanwhileInUA]

Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works.

Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So I need to crush this."

That's the real threat Ukraine posed. Not missiles. Not borders. A working democracy next door.

Applebaum frames the war as a fault line between the democratic and autocratic worlds. Russia isn't just trying to take territory. It's trying to erase Ukraine as a nation, reduce it to a colony, and send a message to every country that the post-1945 rules of Europe no longer apply.

Those rules were simple: no invasions, no wars, borders don't change by force. Russia understood exactly what it was breaking when it crossed into Ukraine.

My latest, on the continuing fiasco at the CPP investment fund, which has now spent more than $50 billion over twenty years to lose about $100 billion relative to what it might have earned, for an equal amount of risk, if it had just bought the relevant indexes — or flung darts at the stock listings.

The Globe and Mail increased its newsroom by more than 10% in 2025 . . . Editor-in-chief David Walmsley said it now numbers 260, of whom 30 were added last year. “It was one of the largest hiring years we’ve ever had.” #cdnmedia #newspapers

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister.

Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

The Globe and Mail needs your help. We’ve set up a special email address for this project: [email protected]. Reaching out does not mean you need to be named in the paper. This is something that will be discussed during an interview with a reporter.
