Rob Breakenridge: On energy projects, Carney can’t avoid tough calls Canada won't become an energy superpower if the prime minister will only back projects that no one opposes.

Rob Shaw: Eby blows a hole in his Captain Canada costume with China deal Buying new coastal ferries from a hostile government, that will use no Canadian steel, aluminum or skilled workers, is a decision the premier is probably already regretting.

On The Line: Where is Nenshi? Why is the Alberta NDP missing in action while the UCP is rolling out wildly controversial ideas?

Andrew Potter: The end of harm reduction in Canada Social policy in Canada has moved from being aimed at controlling vice to reducing harm. But where is it taking us?

On The Line: Carney's military pledge — what it buys, and what it costs Christian Leuprecht joins Matt Gurney to talk Monday's big announcement.

Mitch Heimpel: Our processes are a problem There's a reason Carney and Ford are both advocating bills that bypass regulations — they know the regulations are broken, and fixing that is very, very hard.

The process for obtaining these documents is not new. Digitization is now decades old. Retrieving these documents should be simple. www.readtheline.ca/p/mitch-heim...

Andrew MacDougall: Trump and Elon both know how to fight attention wars In the modern political economy, the point is to be seen. And it works. We can't look away.

Even though we live in a time where each day produces a thousand fresh outrages, the sight of Donald Trump and Elon Musk duking it out last week in full view of the public still managed to stun.

Dispatch From the Front Lines: Santa Carney's coming to town Also: U.S. booze to Alberta. U.S. Marines to Los Angeles, maybe. But no U.S. defensive munitions to Ukraine.

Chris Ross: Where and how Tories and Liberals disagree on climate And why our policies changed to match the politics.

This isn’t hard to understand. In an era dominated by stories of financial pain and geopolitical upheaval, climate concerns became a luxury belief in the eyes of millions of Canadian voters. www.readtheline.ca/p/chris-ross...

Tom Spears: Marc Garneau's ambition for Canada Throughout a career that took him from the navy to NASA to the federal cabinet, Marc Garneau never lost his focus on discipline, honesty, and competence.

Marc Garneau died Wednesday, at the age of 76. His passing was announced by his wife, Pam, who said that he’d been surrounded by family at the end, and had received excellent care during an unspecified short illness.

Matt Gurney: The next war isn't going to look like what you expect And we are not ready for it. Our enemies might be, though.

The next war isn’t going to look like what you expect. And I am wondering, in much the same way that fictional Starfleet captain did, if we are living through one of those historical pivot points without fully realizing it. www.readtheline.ca/p/matt-gurne...

Greg Quinn: I regret that it's now Britain that's being the ass I admire Canada's unapologetic asserting of its rights. I wish my country wasn't acting with such cowardice.

I wish I could condemn Jen and Matt for their (again, implied) characterization of the U.K. — Britain has needed no urging to unapologetically assert its own interests in this revived era of Trump. But I can’t. www.readtheline.ca/p/greg-quinn...

Rob Shaw: In one month, Eby went from Indigenous ally to villain The NDP government pushed through contentious legislation called Bill 15, which First Nations have pledged to protest and challenge in court.

“Mr. Eby is a snake oil salesman,” said Don Tom, vice-president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, and a former NDP ally on UNDRIP who admitted he voted for Eby’s party in the last election. www.readtheline.ca/p/rob-shaw-i...

Jen Gerson: A government of children Losers are always going to act like losers, regardless of how much material success they accrue. Their void isn't in the bank account, but the soul.

It's an administration of pathetic Baby-Men Beta-Cuck weirdos who can't help but continue to act like aggrieved puppies even after they've secured real and material power.
