Geoff Russ: Sweden's left does U-turn on immigration, wins government (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sweden has fallen to the left, many online commentators have lamented. More accurately, Swedish voters have simply returned to form, choosing progressive parties at the expense of the right. After all, Sweden did not gain its reputation as a social democratic stronghold because its voters historically favoured conservatives. The “Red-Green” opposition alliance and its liberal sidekicks have narrowly defeated the centre-right Moderate Party and its nationalist Sweden Democrat allies and other par
Geoff Russ: King Charles III belongs on the $20 bill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
King Charles III will be on Canada’s new $20 banknote, unveiled just days before the fourth anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Next February, the notes will enter circulation, and Canadian republicans will have to seethe and stare into the face of the sovereign as they withdraw cash. Instead of spending months recovering from the sight, they might try to explain how abolishing the monarchy would make Canada a better country. We already have a (nominally) accountable government, poli
Geoff Russ: French nationalist Marine Le Pen would be the anti-extremist choice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
PARIS — For almost 10 years, the French political establishment has portrayed defeating Marine Le Pen as a duty. Every cycle, they roll out the same rhetoric and warnings about the nationalist right and Le Pen’s National Rally (Rassemblement National), and French voters have held their noses and voted for the guardians of a fading European political system. At next year’s presidential election, there may no longer be a single member of France’s political establishment left to face Le Pen. One of
Geoff Russ: Conservatives have ceded love of Canada to Liberal vanity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Conservatism in Canada is currently on a remarkable run, and a depressing one. The best lines and policies it has pitched to voters are being appropriated and stolen by the Liberals, altered, and presented to the public as if Prime Minister Mark Carney himself had thought of them. Pierre Poilievre and other Conservative party figures can try to gloat through the pain and sneer that they are the faction with the best ideas. However, policies are not copyrighted, and the public will not judge Carn
Geoff Russ: Another mushy centrist B.C. party is how David Eby governs forever (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Winners and HomeSense have barely started stocking Halloween merchandise on their shelves, and there is talk of zombie revivals in British Columbia. Like some mad scientists and taxidermists, the nostalgists for the dead B.C. Liberal Party are trying to take advantage of the crisis unfolding in the provincial Conservative party. Two years ago, the B.C. Conservatives famously bludgeoned the B.C. Liberals (by then going by BC United) into the dust and replaced them as the Official Opposition. Now,
