We'll discuss Poilievre's speech this week in Edmonton where he made the case for rejecting Alberta separatism, and find out why he thinks this issue has flared up. Read More

John Goddard: Mississauga ISIS supporters tried to slaughter entire family who knew too much
He had reddish-brown hair, unusual for a Pakistani, and freckles around his eyes and nose. In other ways, he conformed to one of the stereotypical profiles of the South Asian Muslim male. He was bearded, with a thin, almost non-existent moustache and a squarish, heavy-looking face. His body, even in his twenties, was taking on the pudgy shapelessness that would become characteristic as he grew older. He projected not exactly charisma but enough confidence and charm to hold sway over others, especially those younger and less emotionally mature than himself. Read More

WASHINGTON, D.C. — If Canada is betting that Trump’s tariff fight and Ottawa’s retaliation will exact political costs on U.S. President Donald Trump and Republicans in November’s midterms, it may be onto something: a senior Trump adviser just signalled that the White House sees the Canada-U.S. trade spat as politically sensitive.

Chris Selley: If we’d prefer drug-free prisons to ‘safe snorting,’ we need a system rethink
It’s the biggest paper-straw controversy since … well, I guess there has only ever been one until now. It was when Justin Trudeau’s government felt it worthwhile to spend time foisting these usually useless things upon us as a matter of law. But now paper straws are the MacGuffin in the latest war against “harm reduction.” We learned this week that Corrections Canada has approved a “safe snorting” program in federal prisons for inmates to reduce “the risk of internal nose cuts that could occur from homemade or plastic straws and reduce infections from diseases such as hepatitis B and C,” which doesn’t sound entirely implausible.

Yoni Goldstein: Jewish law tells us how to deal with Avi Lewis
The Jews were well into their desert journey when Korach, a member of the privileged Levite clan, openly questioned Moses’ leadership. Two-hundred-and-fifty people, a tiny fraction of the nation that then comprised hundreds of thousands of adults, sided with him. Korach and his leadership group refused Moses’s summons, accusing him of leading the Jews out of Egypt for his own glory. Suddenly, God caused the earth to open up, and Korach and his family were swallowed alive. The 250 admirers were consumed by fire. Read More
