Getting a majority of Albertans to vote to separate seems far off, doesn't it? In new Environic poll, a bare majority (51%) of Albertans say they feel "very attached" to their province - lower than BC, Quebec or any of the Atlantic provs. 57% = very attached to Canada

Did Carney “cave,” or did he make a tactical retreat, giving up bad policy he didn’t choose & would only raise modest revenues, to buy some good will with Trump at a critical moment? Analysis today: nytimes.com/2025/06/30/wor…

One of my most memorable, logistically challenging reporting trips was to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Will never forget it, and will never forget Ato Semegnew, the engineer behind it, found mysteriously shot dead in his car in Addis in 2018. wsj.com/articles/engin…

I'm glad I raised the question Wednesday nytimes.com/2025/07/09/wor… Only to see it answered Thursday nytimes.com/2025/07/10/us/… The 21/07 deadline was of course not real; there's no whispering to Trump, however cordial the vibes are Buckle up, we're still in the beginning.

Mr. Trump disabused any Canadian officials of the notion that their talks may be somehow special, using boilerplate language similar to letters sent to other nations. “These Tariffs may be modified, upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country,” he wrote.

Trump disabused any Canadian officials of the notion that their talks may be somehow special. Good vibes aren't getting Canada much in tariff talks. I wonder if the latest twist will spur Carney to reconsider his stance. nytimes.com/2025/07/11/wor…

Chaos and threats are standard Trump tactics. Canada needs to stay focused, stand our ground, and proceed one step at a time. And our long-term strategy must be to never again to leave ourselves so vulnerable to the whims of one man or one nation. nytimes.com/2025/07/11/wor…

Trump’s fight against America’s academic elite -especially Harvard- is rippling through the world. I contributed from Canada to this wide-ranging examination of ramifications of this massive battle. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Trump raises $50 bln through his tariffs as the world largely chickens out & fails to coordinate retaliation. Valuable reporting here by Financial Times team incl Ilya Gridneff reporting from one of the two places that did retaliate: Canada. on.ft.com/4lsHmOL
