Opinion: It’s a mistake to think extremists are winning because mainstream parties failed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your political party used to attract the votes of half the population. Now it’s been driven into the single-digit margins by a protest party so extreme and hateful you are forbidden to work with it. Have you done something wrong? This week, it was the turn of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to ask that question, after the Alternative for Germany (AfD), a racial-intolerance party considered by courts to be ideologically similar to Nazis, on Sunday won the largest share of votes in an eastern Ger
Opinion: If Canada joins the European Union show, it will only be from the upper balcony (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Canada will not be joining the European Union. And its potential new status as the 27-nation bloc’s first “associate member,” as mooted by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a speech on Wednesday, would not be a big improvement, materially, on Canada’s current commercial, military and policy relationships with Europe. There are some exciting things Canada could do with the EU, but nothing close to the benefits of bloc membership or participation in its single market, which I u
Opinion: The post-9/11 New Normal now looks like a terrible mistake (opens the original)

There’s a photo in our family album that doesn’t need a date. It’s an image I hastily shot of my wife, with a graceful but uneasy smile, holding our sleepy five-week-old son on an implausibly empty Santa Monica beach. The pale sand is devoid of people, its playground swings dangling empty – this, despite it being a perfect sunny day, the sky rendered an unreal crystalline blue without the Los Angeles staples of smog, vapour trails or aircraft. After a day of frantic reporting, we’d taken a morni
Opinion: Canada wants to be ambitious. That means getting immigration going again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It will soon be necessary for Canada to rev up its immigration engines. The challenge is to do it without blowing everything up again. The return to economic growth and higher employment we’ve been experiencing this year, along with Canada’s mood of defiant nation-building, have made Ottawa’s immigration slowdown a hindrance to our ambitions. That slowdown, engineered in 2025 with the launch of the Carney government’s Immigration Levels Plan, was sensible and generally well-designed. Its restric
Opinion: Hateful conspiracies have become a major U.S. export. They need to be sanctioned (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It sounded like another of those cultural policies that get bundled into trade agreements alongside the important economic stuff: Canada’s “digital safety.” During the now-suspended U.S.-Canada trade talks, the American team called their opposition to it “digital trade alignment;” Ottawa bundled it under the catch-all heading of “digital sovereignty,” and seemed prepared to bargain it away if the terms were right. In normal times, many of us would have been glad to see digital safety bargained a
