Lloyd Axworthy: Canada once rejected Americaโ€™s aggressive, unlawful foreign policy. Today Mark Carney embraced it By endorsing preventive strikes on Iran during ongoing diplomacy, and after Washington itself shredded the previous agreement, we are embracing the very doctrine we used to reject, writes Lloyd Axwort...

โ€œWe invoke international law and the โ€œrules based international orderโ€ when adversaries engage in unlawful actions, but abandon those same rules entirely when itโ€™s the Americansโ€ฆFor a country that depends on law more than force for its own security, that is not realism; it is recklessness.โ€

Opinion: Danielle Smithโ€™s referendum plans show the folly of Carney giving further concessions on energy policy By cuing up the next set of grievances before the last round has been fully resolved, any intergovernmental harmony from further federal backtracking will be short-lived

Danielle Smith didnโ€™t wait for one set of grievances with Ottawa to be fully resolved before already setting up the next. My column on why thatโ€™s something Mark Carney should keep in mind as negotiations following up on the MOU continue. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Alberta broke its renewable energy market; 2026 will decide if it can be fixed Decisions will determine whether Alberta reclaims its position as Canada's corporate renewables leader or cedes that title permanently.

"Two years ago, Alberta led Canada in corporate renewable energy procurement. Today, that market has essentially vanished. After falling 95% from 2023 to 2024, corporate renewable energy deals in Alberta dropped another notch in 2025, bringing the cumulative decline to a staggering 99 %"
