Theodore Roosevelt enunciated the “Big Stick” approach to diplomacy and foreign policy. “Speak softly, but carry a big stick. You will go far,” he said. Countries should negotiate peacefully, but possess enough military power to fall back on if things go wrong. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau...

Jewish groups, including B'nai Brith and the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre (FSWC), have said the second part should be unredacted and disclosed publicly so that Canadians can learn more about the country's shameful history of admitting an untold number of Nazi collaborators after the Second...

Ottawa has no legal right to put a chokehold on how Alberta manages its electrical grid, but that’s exactly what Guilbeault is doing with his plan to force a net-zero grid on Alberta and other provinces by 2035. He wants to spell out the rules, the Constitution be damned. He wants things his...

Steven Guilbeault’s colonialist plan for Alberta’s energy grid is a desecration of Canada’s Constitution. No sensible or humble politician would propose such offensive and illegal overreach. But Guilbeault and his boss Justin Trudeau are marked by ambition equal parts grandiose and blind. They...

On Tuesday, Trudeau and Foreign Minister Melanie Joly indicated that they did not want to fuel tensions with India “by speaking about them publicly” — a sharp contrast with the open claims against India that the prime minister made in parliament. On Tuesday, shortly after a report said New...

In its fervour to achieve net zero emissions the federal government is increasingly isolated internationally, while its influence on other countries has vanished as, through incompetence and worse, it has tarnished Canada’s brand as a country to emulate. As Mike Tyson once said, “Everybody has...

On Friday, the CRTC announced the first step of its implementation of the Online Streaming Act. Any “online streaming services” — be they podcast providers or video platforms — were given until Nov. 28 to make their first-ever registration with the CRTC. It’s just a quick form laying out...

On Friday, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) issued new “registration regulations,” as part of its expanded mandate under the Online Streaming Act. The new rules oblige all streaming, social media and online subscription television and radio stations that...

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly urged India on Tuesday to thaw frosty bilateral relations through “private” diplomatic talks after New Delhi reportedly ordered two-thirds of Canadian diplomats out of the country. Private? Like the example Justin made of private? Diplomatic private talks...

I thought party leaders couldn’t be the speaker of the house? Isn’t she cocaptain with somebody we’ve never heard of who doesn’t even have a seat in Parliament, of the Green party?

Don’t worry, supporters of this policy claim; there’s nothing to worry about, it’s not about individual podcasters — it’s only companies earning more than $10 million per year. The players making more than $10 million per year are the platforms that content producers like me and millions of...

The federal Liberals have been embroiled in an inordinate number of political controversies THIS year. Allegations of Chinese interference in our democratic election process, for instance. Battling Facebook over the Online News Act. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s high-profile separation from...

The CRTC just announced that any “online undertakings” with annual revenues of more than $10 million must now register with Ottawa. This includes social media sites such as Facebook or Instagram, streaming sites such as YouTube and Netflix, and even podcast providers. The round-up is all part...
