Commentary For the second time in as many months, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has surprised me on the national health-care file, and in a positive way.

Anthony Furey: Concern Over Canada’s Immigration Targets Becomes Mainstream
Commentary One of the first major pledges of the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau upon forming government in 2015 was to bring in a large number of Syrian refugees within a short period of time.

It Is Time to Demobolize the ‘Defund the Police’ Movement
Commentary Imagine a world where everything is perfect. No one ever makes a mistake, there is no bias, and everyone gets along. Can’t think of such a planet?

Anthony Furey: The Madness of Electric Vehicle Mandates
Commentary Five years ago I took the plunge and became a minivan owner and I’ll never forget what the shopping experience told me about electric vehicles (EVs).

Anthony Furey: Onshoring Is Well Underway – and That’s Great News
Commentary It wasn’t that long ago that it was difficult to find any talking head or academic willing to sing the praises of onshoring, the process where products that were previously manufactured overseas are brought back home to be built on home soil by domestic labour. When Donald Trump first insisted, during the early days…
Cory Morgan: Canada’s Push to Control Movement of Information on the Internet a Dangerous Path to Travel Down
