Colby Cosh: David Eby's election call is perfectly legitimate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m not an expert on British Columbia. The map of B.C. in my imagination is not strong on detail; it could best be described as medieval, perhaps Tolkienesque. There are cute little drawings in appropriate places of street junkies, and Chinese dumplings, and retired Alberta truck dealers on skis. But I can summarize my views on Premier David Eby’s snap election call in British Columbia easily. Which is to say: I almost literally couldn’t believe he would go through with it. Last Tuesday I was ca
Colby Cosh: Alberta separatists self-sabotage by rejecting expertise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
EDMONTON — On Wednesday morning, the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy published a report commissioned by the province on the economic implications of Alberta separation. Must this document itself already count as part of the wastefulness induced by the contrived separation debate? I’m afraid that has been my mood during the initial perusal of it, as much as I instinctively dislike the coming wave of oversimplifying “ALBERTA SECESSION WOULD COST THREE ZILLION GRILLION DOLLARS” head
Colby Cosh: Canada's secret meeting with the Chinese military (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some of you will have noticed a new and slightly shocking example of Canada’s longstanding case of information constipation: namely, the occurrence of Fifth China-Canada Defence Coordination Dialogue, which took place in Ottawa on Friday of last week.

Such as “Canada is coordinating its national defence with China’s?” Or “Why are we doing that?” Or “What would this involve exactly?” Or “This is the fifth time?
Colby Cosh: Will Ottawa rename Trump Avenue as revenge for 'Lake America'? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I couldn’t help ruminating on yesterday’s news of a renewed push to find a more suitable name for Trump Avenue in Ottawa’s Central Park neighbourhood. We live in an era of woke iconoclasm — some would say in the dying days of one — but this is obviously a different sort of matter. Trump Avenue started making national headlines in 2021, when city council polled residents about the offending nomenclature but failed to secure a majority in favour of a change that would involve some inconvenience an
Colby Cosh: Naheed Nenshi is completely fumbling the trade war (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Canadian Press’s Dayne Patterson reports Wednesday morning that Alberta’s floundering opposition leader, Naheed Nenshi, is demanding that Alberta’s consultative October referendum on separation be postponed … because of the developing U.S.-Canada trade war. If you’re busy today, just picture me laughing and saying “Whaaa?” for a few seconds and then move on in good conscience. NDP Leader Nenshi never wanted to have a referendum in the first place, so one supposes any excuse for such a demand
