Opinion: Mark Carney’s long-term plans and Canadians’ immediate pain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a certain water-is-wet quality to noting the furious pace of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government. The busyness feels less like a byproduct than a self-conscious mission statement, even a dare: this is how we roll, so keep up or get left behind. Even by those standards, the past two weeks have been frenetic. There was the investment summit in Toronto, a sort of pan-Canadian trade show for global billionaires, with payoffs yet to be determined. Then Mr. Carney was off to the European P
Opinion: Canadian pride and rage in the face of tariff madness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the early days of the world’s stupidest trade war, outsiders seemed impressed, amused and somehow surprised when Canada pushed back by yanking American booze from our stores, booing The Star-Spangled Banner and dishing out retaliatory tariffs. The same punchline kept surfacing online and among late-night TV hosts: “Do you know how obnoxious you have to be to tick off the Canadians?” Because everyone knows that Canadians are docile, polite and self-effacing, basically the world’s stuffed anima
Apple changes Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ for U.S. users of Maps app (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Apple AAPL-Q has relabelled Lake Ontario to “Lake America” for U.S. users of its Maps app, following competitor Google days after President Donald Trump ordered a new name for the body of water amid his escalating trade war with Canada.

Users outside of the U.S. still saw the Lake Ontario name. Apple did not immediately respond to
Welcome to the map resistance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the same day that U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, MapQuest – yes, that MapQuest, whose sheafs of printed directions guided so many early-2000s road trips – posted a simple, blunt message: “We’re not changing it.” And with that, the mapping company you didn’t even know was still in business became a mascot of the resistance to the President’s penchant for renaming geographical features in the manner of a dog raising his hin
Opinion: Stupidity is an infinitely renewable resource with this U.S. administration (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 1995 movie Billy Madison stars Adam Sandler as the feckless son of a rich businessman who finally gets fed up with his son’s dirtbag ways and decides to hand his company over to someone else. Then, they cook up a ludicrous bargain: If Billy can successfully redo elementary and high school, he can run the family firm after all. The movie’s climax is a Jeopardy!-like academic competition in which Billy is required to explain how the Industrial Revolution changed the modern novel. He staggers a
