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.

Colby Cosh: Is Alberta's separatist movement already waning? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It confused me a little to see little groups of Alberta separatists heading to a rally with flags, blue hockey sweaters, and posters at the Legislature grounds last weekend. The event, one supposes, was timed to coincide closely with Alberta’s Sept. 1 birthday as a Canadian province, but isn’t that when all our troubles began? The Oui side of October’s independence referendum used the rally to launch their campaign and emphasize the need to get out the vote, but the sympathetic Western Standard
Colby Cosh: The U.S. president breaks his own laws in waging the trade war (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last year, as faithful readers will recall, the president of the United States went haywire and imposed new tariffs on Canada by unilateral fiat. And while other commentators were endlessly analyzing Canadian trade strategy and U.S. electoral politics, I was reading treatises by crazy American libertarian lawyers and asking the question “Can he actually do that?” The answer, once it got to the Supreme Court, turned out to be “no, mostly,” with a 6-3 finding against the president. The right thing
