    Opinion: Who wants the worst job in Parliament? Anyone? Bueller? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The news that Conservative MP Scott Aitchison will resign at the end of this year, which will make him the eighth MP to exit the Conservative caucus in one year, has roused the recurring question of just how much more Pierre Poilievre’s hold on his party’s leadership can endure. It’s like watching a frayed rope bridge swinging over a river: It survived the hailstorm of a devastating election loss, then animals nibbling at the fibers as one, then two – seven, now eight – MPs decide that life in t

    Opinion: Brave David Eby will challenge anyone (with a leg injury) to a wrestling match (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    B.C. NDP Leader David Eby is a shrewd, confident competitor. He will challenge anyone currently suffering from a stomach virus to a hot-dog-eating contest. He will dare any chess champion to a tournament when they are sleeping. Mr. Eby will tackle a bear in a cage (from the outside, without actually touching the bear), or wrestle any and all comatose patients in their beds. Had he been given the opportunity, I’m sure he would have even laced up his skates in the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Champion

    Opinion: It is cruel and unusual to force victims’ families to endure parole hearings every two years (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Every two years, the families of victims of the worst crimes in Canada are made to sit through a cruelest form of theatre. These families will face the offender – virtually, or in person – and maybe read a victim impact statement, perhaps the same one they read only two years earlier. They will have to listen to this person answer questions from members of the parole board: questions about remorse for the offense or lack thereof, about time spent in prison, in therapy, and among other prisoners.

    Opinion: Avi Lewis’s foolish statement on ‘Jewish people’ should be disqualifying (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The statement that NDP Leader Avi Lewis posted on X on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur deserves to be reproduced in its entirety, in order to fully appreciate its malignancy and reckless stupidity. “Tonight Yom Kippur begins, the most sombre moment of the Jewish calendar,” Mr. Lewis wrote. “It’s a time of atonement – a time to grieve those who have been lost, a time to acknowledge and take responsibility for harms we have caused, individually and collectively. For Jewish people, the personal ha

    Ontario Conservative MP Larry Brock formally resigns from House of Commons (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Conservative Larry Brock says he has resigned from the House of Commons, ending five years as the MP for Brantford-Brant South. Brock announced his plans to step down last month, saying he planned to return to the office of the Crown prosecutor. A by-election will be called in the Ontario riding, along with five others that are currently vacant, in the coming months. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is planning to hold a rally in Brantford on the weekend. Brock is the seventh MP to leave Poi
