Trudeau is playing with fire by supporting false charges of a deeply flawed ICC given violence targeting Jewish community & protests that threaten peace & tolerance in Cdn society. National Post nationalpost.com/opinion/joe-ol…


Before Trudeau fired her as Min of Finance Chrystia Freeland prepared fall ec statement confirming profligacy - $62B deficit, 50% over fiscal guardrail. Then she quit accusing Trudeau of costly political gimmicks. Lib’l gov’t is in free fall. @NationalPost nationalpost.com/opinion/were-w…

There will be a Conservative gov’t in 1st 1/2 of next year. What Justin Trudeau & Liberal Party do, if anything, to fundamentally change direction will determine how massive the defeat & precarious the Liberal future. Financial Post financialpost.com/opinion/where-…

Accelerating development of Canada’s vast natural wealth can address our acute economic problems. That means taking on Justin Trudeau’s harmful climate obsession which has done nothing to improve the environment. Financial Post financialpost.com/opinion/time-s…

Re threatened tariffs, Canada needs to respond quickly to reasonable demands in our national interest & explain how beneficial trade with Canada is to the U.S. Targeted retaliation is a last resort. National Post nationalpost.com/opinion/contra…

Canada should respond to Trump’s tariff threats (1) by immediately addressing porous border, inadequate military spending & supply mgt. (2) reducing vulnerability to capricious treatment by building ec resilience & improving productivity. Financial Post financialpost.com/opinion/joe-ol…


Canada needs transformative change, esp natural resource dev, to confront Donald J. Trump tariffs during a period of ec decline. Mark Carney who is committed to Net Zero will continue Trudeau’s policies that produced to a lost decade. Financial Post financialpost.com/opinion/joe-ol…

Marks Carney is a high tax big spender hostile to resource dev, compromised by conflicts of interests & entranced by China. 4th Liberal term would mean same dysfunctional policies that inflicted a lost decade on long-suffering Canadians. Financial Post . financialpost.com/opinion/joe-ol…

Today marks the 10th anniversary of Canada’s last balanced budget I was honoured to present on behalf of Stephen Harper government. Mark Carney profligate fiscal platform promises $130 billion higher Liberal deficits than previously forecast.

President Trump undermined trust in Canada-US relationship but hasn’t altered fundamentals of geography, integrated economies & shared values. A tough response requires a resilient economy not visible in Mark Carney platform. Financial Post financialpost.com/opinion/joe-ol…

Let’s hope Mark Carney justifies the minority mandate he won by differentiating himself from his predecessor many of whose policies he supports, including profligate spending, big gov’t intervention & climate alarmism. Financial Post financialpost.com/opinion/joe-ol…

What a Trudeauesque beginning to the Liberals’4th term - theatre, false starts, evasion & unaccountability, but absent the sunny ways! Mark Carney start has not been encouraging..Financial Post financialpost.com/opinion/joe-ol…

Mark Carney’s sudden enthusiasm for natural resources reflects long-term Conservative policy - but was Liberal heresy until very recently. What does the 180 reversal say about his values & can it be trusted? Financial Post financialpost.com/opinion/libera…

My guests the Hon. Joe Oliver and the Hon. Gary Mar discuss resources development, internal trade barriers and more on the latest Boom and Bust! The show airs weeknights on The News Forum on Rogers, Bell, Telus, Shaw and Cogeco. #boomandbustca

Elite universities have alienated alumni, donors, politicians & the public by failing to respond meaningfully to legitimate concerns about civil rights violations, especially anti-semitism & a lack of viewpoint diversity.National Post nationalpost.com/opinion/having…


Mark Carney capitulated to Donald J. Trump by withdrawing the digital services tax which is not in Canada’s national interest. Neither is supply management. Both will be major irritants in trade negotiations with the U.S. Financial Post financialpost.com/opinion/digita…

The key question for the Canadian economy is whether Mark Carney’s sudden enthusiasm for resource development reflects political expediency or a sincere intent to push projects forward. Financial Post financialpost.com/opinion/sudden…
