Who do we think is going to buy our expensive, carbon-intensive oil?

Social solidarity requires fair taxation and shared sacrifice.

The Conservative Party's platform contains a pledge to pass a "Taxpayer Protection Act" that, among other things, would force the government to hold a referendum before imposing any new taxes. It's a foolish ploy.

As some of the values we once shared with the US erode — respect for law, pride in an ethical military, concern for the environment and protection of free speech — we must push back against this spillover effect.

Mark Carney is poised to win the most seats in Alberta and Saskatchewan of any Liberal leader in 50 years. If he wants to double down on that strength, and nip any threat of a national unity crisis in the bud, he should eliminate the oil and gas emissions cap — and replace it with something better.

Arguments in defense of LNG will be said in many different ways, but the talking points — perpetuated by the fossil fuel industry — have remained the same for decades.

Pierre Poilievre has long been defined by his willingness to attack, and it’s what brought him to the brink of the biggest political victory of his life. It’s also what might keep him from actually achieving it. 

As we enter the final week of an election dominated by the US-Canada trade war, it’s critical that the queer and trans communities mobilize.

With the frontrunners pitching wildly contrasted policies in some ways and similar ones in another, it's vital for Canadians to keep abreast of their climate ambitions — and to hold them to account when the election is over.

After the far-right media prevented questions, all we got was some magical thinking and a formula for national protest.

If parties respected voters, they’d give them more up front so they could make a considered, fully educated, critical decision about whom to support. If voters respected themselves more, they’d demand it, and punish those who don’t deliver.

For those of us fighting for climate action, affordable housing and workers’ rights, Mark Carney's lead in the polls is an opportunity and a warning.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is cherry-picking aggressive policies from the Trump regime that undermine the law and free speech.

It is helpful to remind Canadians how relatively inconsequential our own federal leaders’ debates have been since their inception in 1968.

Pierre Poilievre’s rallies are a big hit, even if they’re not as big as his supporters would like to pretend. But the thousands of people turning out to them might have noticed something missing from the Conservative leader’s rendition of his greatest political hits: an attack on the CBC.
