    Opinion: Mark Carney is an Albertan. That’s about to pay off (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Until Mark Carney came along, the Liberals never had a prime minister from the province of Alberta. Mr. Carney was born in 1965 in the Northwest Territories and spent his first six years there. But his formative years – the next 12 – were lived in Edmonton. Young Mark delivered the Edmonton Journal newspaper. His father Bob was a deputy minister in the Conservative government of Peter Lougheed. Mark was in high school when the Liberals brought in their hated national energy program. For him, Ont

    Opinion: At age 159, Canada is finally a power on the world stage (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s hard to imagine a country as large and as resource-rich and as intelligently populated as Canada having made such a small footprint on the world stage for so long. But until now, until these transformational times for our country, that’s been generally the case all the way since 1867. Dwarfed by the powers of Great Britain, which controlled Canada’s external affairs until the 1920s, and then by the American colossus, we were, with the occasional exception, on the sidelines. In the world war

    Opinion: It’s time Ottawa faced up to AI’s catastrophic risks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The grand event that was Mark Carney’s investment summit was preceded by bigger news, it being revelations about the human extinction threat posed by advances in artificial intelligence. We’d heard horror stories before, but an Anthropic employee took fears to a new level by saying there was a 10-per-cent chance AI could kill all humans within the next decade. To give the doomsday scenarios more gravitas, there followed the remarkable sight of the titans of the AI industry coming forward to conf

    Opinion: The U.S. media is getting soft on Trump in this trade war (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Does each side have a legitimate case to make? Watching American media coverage of the trade war with Canada, particularly of late, and particularly in television interviews, you’d get the impression that there might be justification for the attack-tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump has been bludgeoning Canada with for nearly two years. This is what happens when the media engages in false equivalence, sometimes as a result of the pursuit of so-called “objectivity.” They present both sides of an

    Opinion: For the hard-luck Conservatives, the Trump trap is a killer (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Yet more terrible tidings for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives. They were going to do badly in the federal by-elections Monday anyway. But the President of the United States made the result a lot worse. In the week before the electoral tests, he took over the news cycle in Canada by announcing he was draping the Stars and Stripes over Lake Ontario. The infantile water-grab played perfectly into the Liberals’ hands because the greater the mad king’s threats the more they profit. He was key to the
