Apr 2 2018 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — The Trudeau government’s approach to addressing climate change — a combination of arrogance, ignorance and wishful thinking — has been on full display in Ottawa in recent days. On Sunday, on CTV’s Question Period, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna repeatedly dodged basic questions from host Evan Solomon on how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will reach his […]
Apr 2 2018 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — Catherine McKenna is getting a little testy. And you can certainly see why. The incoming national carbon tax that she’s been promoting alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is really taking a beating. So much so that the majority of Canadians might be asking for its repeal come the next election.
Apr 1 2018 — Tom Parkin — Sun Media — Of course, the most usual criticism about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is that he is more style than substance and too focused on image. But perhaps the reason for the Liberals’ drop in the polls goes deeper. Perhaps we thought Trudeau had no substance but, after a couple of years of getting to know him, […]
Mar 27 2018 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — Taking a page from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s playbook, Finance Minister Bill Morneau has taken it upon himself to mansplain women’s issues to one female parliamentarian and even call out those who disagree with him on the subject as “Neanderthals.” Conservative MP and former cabinet minister Lisa Raitt was grilling Morneau at the House of […]
Mar 23 2018 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — For the longest time, U.S. President George W. Bush wasn’t seen as his own man. The Washington consensus was that there was a puppet master lurking behind the curtain: Vice-President Dick Cheney. And it was only after Bush sidelined Cheney during the later years of his tenure did he really come into his own.
Mar 20 2018 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Justin Trudeau’s farcical trip to India was a disaster for him and the Liberals, but not because the Canadian delegation managed to get a former attempted murderer invited to an official Canadian reception in Mumbai. That was a major flub, for sure.
Mar 16 2018 — Candice Malcolm — Sun Media — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has personal ties with a Canadian Sikh rapper who glorifies violence and promotes Khalistani independence, the Toronto Sun has learned. Chani Natt is a Canadian rapper with a large follower on social media. His YouTube videos, often depicting violence and terrorism, have been viewed millions of times.
Mar 12 2018 — Tom Parkin — Sun Media — Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals have run out of hats and rabbits. They’ve run out of time. They’re toast. But new PC Leader Doug Ford is no improvement. Ontarians deserve something better than a horrific choice between Wynne and Ford. And that gives Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath the best winning chance for her party […]
Mar 11 2018 — Adrienne Batra — Sun Media — In the end, there was no balloon drop, there was no party, there was no picture of unity. But it didn’t matter, the PC Party of Ontario has chosen Doug Ford to lead them into the next election — a rather fitting end to a tumultuous few weeks. After a long day of drama, what […]
Mar 9 2018 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has admirably committed his party to recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel if it wins the 2019 federal election. As the Tories logically state on their website: “Canada’s Conservatives recognize the obvious fact that Israel, like every other sovereign nation, has a right to determine where its capital is located.”
Mar 1 2018 — Adrienne Batra — Sun Media — It wasn’t a debate for the ages, however it was just good enough for at least two of the four contenders vying to be the next leader of the PC Party of Ontario to emerge as the clear front-runners. Like it or not, Doug Ford and Christine Elliott demonstrated they are the only ones capable […]
Feb 28 2018 — Antonella Artuso — Sun Media — Doug Ford is raising concerns about possible voter fraud in the coming PC leadership vote. Ford’s campaign is asking organizers to remove from the eligible voting list anyone whose PC Party membership was purchased with a pre-paid credit card. “As the voting process has continued to unfo
Feb 27 2018 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s third budget released Tuesday is very much a left-wing document and they’re not even trying to hide the fact. For a supposedly financial document, it’s rife with identity politics — touching upon multiple issues of gender and race. Prior to the release they were teasing this as the first budget seen […]
Feb 26 2018 — Antonella Artuso — Sun Media — Patrick Brown told his closest advisers on Sunday night that he was withdrawing from the Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership race, a source told the Toronto Sun. “It certainly looks like he’s stepping down,” the source said Monday. Brown indicated he planned to send out a public statement sometime Monday and to meet with his campaign […]
Feb 20 2018 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — To read it on paper, it’s a phenomenal plot. Patrick Brown, at the height of his powers, knocked off just before winning the prize of becoming premier of Canada’s most populous province. In his absence, schemers rush in to fill the vacuum. But ever so slowly the once and future king began plotting his return, […]
