‘It’s the Tariffs, Stupid’: Ontario Premier Doug Ford Gets Real About the Canada Elections
Canada is holding its most consequential election Monday. Here’s how the country’s most successful Conservative right now thinks it will go. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is a canny politician, a throwback to a more ideologically flexible but no-bullshit archetype common in 20th-century, big-city American politics. Ford’s shrewdest play may have been his most recent, when he called for a snap...

What kind of leadership will Canada have on Tuesday? Here are four different scenarios
Without pretending any of us can predict the exact outcome of elections before they actually occur, if the polls and pundits prove right, the most likely scenario we will wake up to on Tuesday is a Liberal majority government.

Leaders walk tightrope after Vancouver car attack
'It would be an extremely rash politician who links events in Vancouver to federal government policy'
Trump shows us what a rash narcissist can do to harm a country. Pierre Poilievre isn't Trump. But they're alike in several ways.
Pierre Poilievre goes out of his way to be seen as a firebrand. It’s a look he’s been working on for years. He loved ginning up partisan supporters by saying he would fire the Governor of the Bank of Canada and replace him with someone “who would reinstate our low inflation mandate”. That was in May of 2022. Inflation peaked...

Clarity or Confusion? What Voters Said They Heard from the Political Parties This Election Campaign
Every successful campaign starts with a clear sense of purpose. Too often, when people hear “message,” they think it means a slogan or a handful of talking points.
