Carney was masterful in painting a detailed picture with evocative, colourful language like “Last spring, I warned that America is trying to break us so that they can own us and I promised: ‘That will never, ever happen.’”

Doug Ford summarizes the sentiment of many Canadians in his blunt, Doug Ford-like way: “Trump will steal your lunch money on the first day, your toque on the second, and your running shoes on the third.”

Governments should not strive for greater efficiency, but rather for the empowerment of citizens, says democracy activist Jon Alexander. On 1 June, he will present his ideas at an online event organised by the Harvard Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

I don't know why the Gladu floor-crossing causes so much faux confusion. The Liberals needed a vote. Gladu wanted to be in government and was fed up with Poilievre, and is prepared to put a gag on herself to get there. That's it. Not complicated. #cdnpoli

If you’re wondering what the big deal is about Jürgen Habermas (who died yesterday), or if you’ve never heard of him until now, you’re not going to learn much from the short newspaper obituaries, which are focusing on more on what he said about current events than his philosophy. 1/

In 1969, the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18. This change was opposed by many. Yet today's critics of lowering the voting age to 16 now talk of 18 as though it has always been the age at which people get the right to vote. Read more 👇

Why we should be optimistic about lowering the voting age to 16
We’ve been here before. In 1969, the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18, but its introduction was opposed by many, in the same way that votes for 16-year-olds are being opposed today.

Fun fact that may only be fun to me: From 1995 through 2016, the phrase "rules-based international order" was spoken exactly 0 times in the House of Commons. From 2017 through 2025, there were 123 references to the "rules-based international order," peaking at 34 references in 2022.
