Why do male panelists who appear on CNN constantly interrupt and talk over the smarter female panelists?

"Families opened their homes, and they also opened their hearts. Because that is what I call the Canadian way. When our friends are in trouble, we don't hesitate. We act. We do the decent thing. We do the human thing and the right thing." – Former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien

"I was proud that it was my government, the Government of Canada, that moved the motion to invoke Article 5 of the NATO Charter, the first and only time in the history of NATO it was ever used. ... Our friends were hurt, and we were hurting with them." – Former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien

Roland Michener was one of the most dignified public servants in the history of Canada. He put the regal into viceregal.

“There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we instead choose death because we cannot forget our quarrels? We appeal as human beings to human beings: Remember your humanity and forget the rest.” – Bertrand Russell

The media is in the business of exaggerating stories to generate viewership. If the people as a whole ever want to exercise power, they need to break the corporate media's grip on the news.

JD Vance is an illustration of why your parents were so concerned about who you hung out with when you were a youngster. After hanging out with Donald Trump for a decade, Vance has become just another gangster punk like his boss.

The President of Iceland should refuse to accept Billy Long's credentials and the Foreign Ministry should send him home. This joke was never funny – not when the buffoon in the White House made it about Canada, and not when it was made by some fifth-rate congressman and then rebound ambassador.

Global Affairs Canada really needs to change its travel advisory for the United States from “take normal security precautions” to “exercise a high degree of caution.” If the U.S. is not safe for American residents, how could it possibly be safe for Canadian visitors?

Doug Ford claims to be opposed to interprovincial trade barriers, but that's exactly what his hissy fit is. He is being Trump-like in his attempt to dictate how a private company should operate its business.

Well, I've never wanted to own a Ford anyway. After all, Henry Ford was a fascist the first time round.

I wish the news media would stop talking about democratic socialism like it's some sort of monolithic, dogmatic movement. The major monolithic, dogmatic movement in America today is Trumpism.

When political pundits use baseball and football analogies, my ears close. Little could be more trivializing than comparing the affairs of state to a sports game – and it's precisely their belief that politicians are simply playing games that alienates and angers much of the public.

Lawrence O'Donnell is a master of political apologetics. I don't mean this as a compliment. I care more about political ethics than political strategy. And for what it's worth, I'm tired of hearing dubious comparisons to the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson.

No President has ever sought to interfere more in the affairs of private companies than Donald Trump. How do so-called free market conservatives not see this? Or the transparent racism of his views?

Trump's military moves - the political Fort Bragg speech, L.A. troop call-up, tanks in D.C. for a Kremlin-style parade - aren't 'a distraction' It's the essence of his regime, and he's pulling a slow-motion coup to crush all dissent and take control My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/coup...

Trump’s abuse of the military to control civilians, as tanks roll into D.C., is where this was always heading.
