With the campaign officially started, Canadians are about to experience something more akin to what we see south of the border, says former NDP leader Tom Mulcair.

From an America that is turning its back on longtime allies and towards Russia to a Europe that is quickly rearming, it's impossible not to get the sense tha...

In recent months, federal Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has repeatedly voiced support for discredited “tough on crime” policies that will ultimately fail. In February alone, Poilievre vowed to introduce mandatory ...

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s proposed “three strikes” law is a discredited “tough on crime” policy imported from the United States.

What comes next for America according to Donald Trump.

Like its 20th-century predecessors, today’s far right longs for the purported glories of the ancient world, all while fetishizing modern technology.

Project 2025 provides a roadmap for "the next conservative President" to fundamentally change how the federal government works. Former President Donald Trump has claimed he knows nothing about it. Democrats call it "Trump's Project 2025 agenda." Here, we take a look at the plan: what's in it, who wrote it and what the candidates have said about it.

Far-right, white supremacist, and ethno-nationalist movements in Europe and the United States continue to thrive, propagating racism, hatred, and violence.

A History of the Alt-Right

This wax-like, toxic substance burns at temperatures high enough to melt metal.

You don’t have to look very hard to see it. The right — the far right — is obsessed. With kids. With our kids. And there’s something not just creepy about that, but genuinely dangerous, in the truest…

Do you ever just peruse the New York Times opinion section and think to yourself…my God, what even…is this? Lord knows I do. I think I’m going to start a new feature. LOL, as if I’m Netflix. Anyways…

OTTAWA - The time, money and effort Iain Burns put into growing an audience on Facebook for several local news outlets in British Columbia felt like it disappeared in a

Funding journalism with cash from big tech has become a fiasco

Retaliatory move against Online News Act is ‘epic miscalculation’ that will promote spread of misinformation, analysts say

The timing of Google’s deals raises questions, coming just as the News Media Bargaining Code is set to be introduced into federal parliament.

“It really surprises me that Google has decided that they would rather prevent Canadians from accessing news than actually paying journalists for the work they do. I think that’s a terrible mistake and I know that Canadians expect journalists to be well paid for the work they do.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau waded into Bill C-18 and Google removing links to Canadian news articles in search results as part of a test for a small percentage of users yesterday with the quote cited above. At a press conference in Toronto, Trudeau went out of his way to volunteer that he is surprised by Google’s actions, which he thinks is a “terrible mistake.” If Trudeau was surprised, then he has not been paying attention, as the possibility of removing links to news articles in search results or social media has been an obvious consequence of a bill that mandates payments for links. But his surprise isn’t what is important or requires comment. What does is that Trudeau's comments mislead on several critical issues with Bill C-18.

Facebook backed Canada into a corner.

Inflation Rate in Canada decreased to 2.50 percent in July from 2.70 percent in June of 2024. This page provides - Canada Inflation Rate - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

World leaders of the G20 concluded a summit in Indonesia at a time when nearly all member nations are battling high inflation. While Canada's has flattened, a CTVNews.ca analysis looks at how we compare with other nations, some of which continue to experience skyrocketing inflation.

What, if anything, makes Canada's political identity unique? Pollsters can measure values, but they cannot explain how these values arose over time, why they changed, or how people have attempted to make sense of them within a changing social and political environment. By examining the history of political ideas in Canada, we can better understand why Canada takes the shape that it does. In this book, Katherine Fierlbeck looks at the legacy of ideas taken from (or shaped in reaction to) the nations that have been most influential to Canada's development: the United Kingdom and the United States. The first section looks specifically at the nature of toryism, constitutional liberalism, and market liberalism. Then she examines the evolution of social justice in Canada. Does the country have, as J.S. Woodsworth hoped, a definitive "third way." The final section focuses upon debates over cultural identity and minority rights. Contemporary political discussions in Canada are very much based upon the expressions of French-Canadian nationalism that have existed as long as, and perhaps even longer than, the country itself. How have these ideas influenced current thinking about culture and accommodation?The experiences characterized by Canadian political thought also provide insight and ideas for nations around the world as their citizens struggle with similar questions. The political dynamics of the present are a product of how Canadians have viewed their country, or a vision of their country, in the past. These ideas of Canada, in history and in myth, provide a way of thinking about politics that may provoke and inspire Canadians and others to reflect upon their future.
