The Canadian Press has seriously undermined its moral credibility. Using the September 11 attacks primarily as a vehicle for discussing Islamophobia demonstrates remarkably poor editorial judgment. Those attacks were perpetrated by 19 Islamist terrorists who murdered nearly 3,000 people, most of them Americans. For anyone old enough to remember September 11, the day remains profoundly painful and disturbing. Most of us remember exactly where we were when it happened. Anniversary coverage should focus first on the victims, the events themselves and how they changed the world forever—not subordinate that history to a contemporary political narrative. CP is not simply another newspaper: it is Canada’s national wire service. Its journalists produce stories that are distributed to subscribing newspapers, broadcasters and digital platforms across the country, where they may be published largely unchanged under a Canadian Press byline. That gives its editorial choices enormous reach. A questionable framing does not remain confined to one newsroom—it can be reproduced nationwide and presented as authoritative reporting. Canada faces a broader problem with the quality, balance and intellectual diversity of its media coverage. This may help explain the increasingly reflexive anti-Americanism shaping our public discourse. When a national wire service amplifies ideology instead of scrutinizing it, the effects reverberate throughout the entire media ecosystem. Informed debate suffers—and our democracy becomes more fragile by the day.

"It is very telling when a prime minister declares that we are at war with the world’s largest economy, yet refuses to answer questions from the media or recall Parliament—and few political columnists even raise the issue."

Counter-tariffs are here, and so is more shrinkflation.

Mark Warner, one of Canada’s best trade lawyers—and a friend—dismantles, one by one, every argument used to defend Canada’s current negotiating strategy with the United States. A masterclass of an interview. Watch the whole thing. Oh, and the midterms won’t make a difference...

Most are applauding Chapman’s Ice Cream for replacing American ingredients. Fine. But ice cream is made primarily from dairy, and Canadian dairy is protected by supply management. So why the hell was Chapman’s using so many American ingredients in the first place?
