More and more, it feels like the lack of dangerous opposition is allowing Doug to be his most Doug-like self, which is to say, someone who once proposed a Ferris Wheel and a monorail for the Toronto Portlands

Mark Carney’s Iran reaction raises doubts about what he stands for In this dangerous world, Canada needs to see clearly what we are dealing with. But we also need to remember who we are.

Mark Carney's reaction to the US attack on Iran, and his subsequent defences of that attack, made you wonder: for all his talk of pragmatism and principles, what does he stand for? And what does he think Canada wants him to stand for? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
