Kelly McParland: Smith covers her bets for Alberta vote (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 18 weeks since Alberta Premier Danielle Smith set the date for her multi-part referendum on the province’s future the reaction in much of Canada has ranged from perplexion to… continued perplexion. As in, why is she doing this? Has she noticed that Justin Trudeau is gone and Mark Carney is a different sort of prime minister? That the supposedly Liberal regime in Ottawa has vaccuumed up Conservative policies and repackaged them as Liberal priorities? The puzzlement doesn’t fade when it’s p
Kelly McParland: Trump puts America's rot on display (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The book on Donald Trump is that he’s unpredictable, unreliable and untrustworthy. Based on the recent trade talks and Friday’s last minute bust-up, it’s an unfair rap. Every move the U.S. made in the weeks of dickering was predictable and, in the end, reliably untrustworthy. You didn’t have to be an Ottawa insider or politically tuned-in pundit to suspect the negotiations were largely a waste of effort and would end badly. Ordinary Canadians certainly made clear they had little to no faith in W
Kelly McParland: Trade talks with Trump are pointless (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The latest arbitrary deadline to a gratuitous threat made by an untrustworthy president falls this week when Aug. 19 arrives and the U.S. does or does not introduce 50 per cent tariffs on a package of Canadian goods. The degree to which this seizes Mark Carney might be indicated by the fact the prime minister chose to spend a week vacationing in Italy rather than nibbling his nails as the minutes ticked down. Sure, his aides say he stayed in close contact with Ottawa, but anyone who’s spent any
Kelly McParland: Iran exploits Trump's lack of interest in war (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I try not to think too much about the current president of the United States — it’s just too depressing — but it’s been hard to look away as he tries to wriggle his way out of the war he started in Iran. Donald Trump, the U.S. commander-in-chief and leader of the free world, has other things he’d rather be doing, mostly to do with the real estate world he appears to miss badly. He’s dug up the backyard at the White House and has a ballroom half built but has once again been ordered to halt by a
Kelly McParland: Strains appear in Ford-Carney bromance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m just guessing here, but it seems possible the ad campaign was the start of the problem. Until Doug Ford’s Ontario government launched a two-week U.S. ad blitz challenging the Trump administration’s trade practices, Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney were getting along swimmingly. Since their breakfast get-together at a Toronto-area diner in mid-March, things between the two were all handshakes and smiles. The polished egghead PM and the folksy high school graduate premier had found a sweet
