Aitchison campaigned for the leadership in 2022 on a promise to bring decency and civility back to Canadian political discourse. It’s hard to imagine him sitting comfortably in the same caucus where people are trying to keep the anti-vaccine and anti-institution crowd in the coalition. m...

Opinion: It could have been worse for Pierre Poilievre — at least Scott Aitchison isn't leaving the Conservative caucus to join Mark Carney’s Liberals. The eighth departure from Poilievre’s caucus is in itself remarkable — the Conservatives have now lost more MPs than the New Democrats won in 2025.

Opinion: Given Donald Trump’s madcap ideas on trade and his mafia tactics, Mark Carney’s outreach to Europe is obviously a good idea. But the prime minister is wrong to be droning on about “our shared values” with Europe. We do have a lot of history together, but we don’t share the same present.
