Canada’s lost decade

by Catherine Swift

Canadians need to ask themselves if they really want to flirt with another lost decade.

Don’t take the bait, Canadians

by Catherine Swift

Canada is currently facing the potentially worst economic crisis we have encountered in decades. Many Canadians, including some of our political leaders, have chosen to respond to the threats U.S. President Donald Trump has made by a revival of an odd version of patriotism which involves such juvenile acts as booing the U.S. national anthem […]
