Michael Taube: Chris Alexander, give it up already (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Toronto mayoral election will be held on Oct. 26. Olivia Chow has led since the beginning, but there are signs her re-election bid could be in some jeopardy. If a certain someone would listen to reason and drop out, the left-wing incumbent mayor would likely be on her way out, too. Three recent polls indicate the gap between Chow and her main opponent, city councilior Brad Bradford, is narrowing. Mainstreet Research’s Sept.14-17 poll had Chow leading Bradford by 46-38 per cent, with former C
Michael Taube: Carney’s EU mistake is nearly complete (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Prime Minister Mark Carney described Canada as the “most European of non-European countries” at a joint summit in Brussels last summer.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” the Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana famously wrote in his 1905 work, The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress. While this aphorism is commonly associated with tragic events such as the Holocaust, it can actually be applied to many moments in history. We’re seeing one such moment in Canada right now. The recent upsurge in Conservative infighting has an ominous resemblance to the split between the Reform Party/C
