Why is Carney slashing away at the CBC's budget? Social democracy depends upon non-profit broadcasting models.

NEW COLUMN: Our democracy relies upon a strong public broadcaster. Why are the Carney Liberals trying to make it weaker? www.jakelandau.ca/p/why-is-car...

How Canada made ourselves complicit in this attack on Iran And how Carney's foolishness could invite retaliation against us.

NEW COLUMN: Canada has some degree of complicity in this attack on Iran, and I fear we do understand the consequences that could bring upon us. www.jakelandau.ca/p/how-canada...

Doug Ford doesn't want you to know how many kids die in the care of children's aid societies They still know when the deaths happen, but they won't record the total.

NEW COLUMN: Since 2024, Doug Ford’s government has stopped summarizing the data of children who die under the care of children’s aid societies. Why doesn’t he want the public to know about what’s happening to children in the system? www.jakelandau.ca/p/doug-ford-...

Any majority Carney cobbles together will be built on quicksand Constantly flipping around the majority threshold is not a stable scenario.

NEW COLUMN: Mark Carney keeps trying to inch closer towards a Liberal majority, but even if floor-crossings and by-elections take him there, it would be a majority built on top of quicksand, and slip out from under him. www.jakelandau.ca/p/any-majori...

I'll believe police are accountable when I see it Ontario has let this rot fester through root and stem.

NEW COLUMN: In the wake of Project South, Ontario claims it will investigate all of our province's police services. But I’ll only believe dirty cops are going to be held accountable when it actually happens. www.jakelandau.ca/p/ill-believ...

Canada's medication advertising laws are a joke You can't "tell" people it's for weight loss, but they still know it's for weight loss.

NEW COLUMN: In Canada, you can’t say what a prescription medication DOES, but you can still market it, and everyone knows what it’s for. These laws are stupid! www.jakelandau.ca/p/canadas-me...

I'm well aware of why they are, I'm saying that those decisions were fundamentally stupid and unsound, without merit.

Calgary could teach Toronto some lessons on how to build light rail The CTrain isn't perfect, but they've got more than a few tips for us.

NEW COLUMN: Toronto will soon be opening Line 5 Eglinton, and it has many design flaws. But if we had been humble, and asked Calgary for advice, Alberta would have gladly shared her greater wisdom with us. www.jakelandau.ca/p/calgary-co...

You're afraid to call it what it is because you know that you helped make ICE what it has become

You should read about what you're talking about before you talk about it. This kind of armoured ground vehicle is listed on the Export Control List under Group 2, Clause 6

I have never been more ashamed to be a Canadian Jew Mathematical proof that our views are largely terrible.

This is a point I've heard made repeatedly, Europe could dump a trillion dollars of US bonds onto the market all at once and utterly destroy the United States economy, it's arguably a more powerful response than a military one because of how much damage it would do to Yankee society at large.
