“This is an unnecessary war,” says former MI6 chief John Sawers. “It was not required, because it was not as if it was to pre-empt an imminent threat,” he tells me. “The very best you can expect is a sort of Venezuela-type outcome. But there are plenty of other, more dangerous

This war isn’t an emergency that requires us to give the president more latitude. It’s a monstrosity that requires that judges, lawmakers and above all citizens work to preserve the integrity of elections and the republic.

RAE: "When I see statements saying the purpose of war is to kill people and to destroy a country ... that is completely inconsistent, not just a fancy phrase like 'international law', but it's inconsistent with our sense of humanity."

New Democrats condemn the recent shootings targeting synagogues in Toronto. Hate has no place in Canada and acts of violence & intimidation against any community are deplorable. We call on this crime to be thoroughly investigated & the perpetrators brought to justice immediately.

Senator Graham on Iran - "When this regime goes down, we’re going to make a ton of money." Graham just summarized US foreign policy in one sentence

This is an incredible story of justice. Belgian court indicts 93-year-old former diplomat for war crimes and complicity in 1961 assassination of anti-colonial hero Patrice Lumumba. (And grim evidence of Belgian police role in disappearance of Lumumba’s body.)

Hugh Winsor is rightly remembered as an 'old-school' journalist. He was also a dedicated mélomane (to use an untranslatable French term). Saw him and Christina at many concerts. They even came out to hear me and friends play jazz(!) - most recently at an Ottawa piano bar.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Jerome Powell just directly blamed Donald Trump's tariffs for causing inflation to skyrocket. Holy cow.

Our country needs a vision that doesn’t just take the world as it is, but fights for the world we need. Now more than ever, Canada needs the NDP. Our campaign is charting the party's comeback — throwing open its doors to the 99% to build the biggest tent the NDP has ever seen.
