AUBUT: Tear down the ‘House of Mirrors’ — Canada desperately needs a reset
Identifying Canada’s democratic defects is easier than correcting them.
Part One of this series described a political system filled with institutions that appear to restrain government but frequently lack the independence or authority needed to do so. Parliament supposedly controls the government, although a disciplined majority government normally controls Parliament. Senators review legislation but are appointed. Courts protect constitutional rights but act only after someone launches a costly and lengthy challenge. Watchdogs investigate misconduct but rarely impose consequences. Elections allow governments to be replaced, but provide citizens with little control between votes.

Abdul El-Sayed wants to be elected this fall as the next U.S. Senator for Michigan.
On Saturday, the Democratic candidate accused his Republican opponent of blindly supporting U.S. President Donald Trump and his new 50 per cent tariffs on Canada, which he said would cost Michigan families thousands of dollars a year.
“He’s a sock puppet who will do whatever Trump wants,” El-Sayed tweeted of Mike Rogers, a former FBI special agent, “no matter what it costs you.”

Michel Maisonneuve: Canada must defend the North to keep it
“Mon pays, ce n’est pas un pays, c’est l’hiver,” Gilles Vigneault sings — my country is winter. Canada is shaped by cold, distance and northern regions inhabited by resilient people. Whether we embrace it or not, we are a polar nation.
Sovereignty over nearly 10 million square kilometres must be demonstrated: we must prove we can protect the vast North, develop its resources and create opportunities for its people. We must stop thinking small.
From Jihadism to Lethal Foreign Interference: Canada’s Threats Have Multiplied Since 9/11
OTTAWA — Twenty-five years ago, many of us witnessed an event that changed the world — and us — irrevocably. To label anything “world-changing” is fraught with danger. What exactly changed? Were these changes truly global in nature? Why does an occurrence in one country — the United States — qualify as such?

Canada’s tech industry warns ‘entrepreneurs are leaving in droves’ for U.S.
Canada’s tech industry is warning that the country continues to lose its best and brightest entrepreneurs to the U.S., an issue that has taken on new urgency as tariff threats have prompted Ottawa to try to diversify away from the U.S. economy.
This week, various tech entrepreneurs, politicians and economists began to weigh in on data that show just how big the problem has become. According to recent figures, there are at least 517 U.S.-based tech firms with Canadian founders — or, entrepreneurs who were educated in Canada but later left for the U.S. — that have together raised more than US$400 billion.
