Doug Ford’s cynical attempts to profit from Trump’s attacks are now looking like a sideshow. Ford is trying to distract voters from local issues that matter.

“Politics is not about counting heads, politics is about turning heads,” says Bob Rae, Canada’s ambassador to the UN. “It’s about convincing people.”

Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie is convinced Doug Ford’s hot mic confessional that he “100%” rooted for Trump to win last Nov. 5 will dog him until voting day.

For all his his phoney calls for national unity, Ford is leading a battle against his opposition rivals that is all about partisan disunity at home, Martin Regg Cohn writes.

Colleges and universities are core to the knowledge economy of tomorrow, but you wouldn’t know it in Ontario.

Canada is not yet the 51st state, and Ontarians never voted for the U.S. president. Why should Trump’s musings now determine when we next vote in a provincial election?

Facing the threat of devastating tariffs that might be imposed by the president-elect, Alberta’s premier appears to believe it’s every province for itself.

A clear-eyed look at Toronto's major streets suggests that the expected cycling revolution hasn’t happened despite the installation of lanes for bike riders, Martin Regg Cohn writes.

An early election call in Ontario would compound the political uncertainty in Canada amid the upheaval of a looming trade war with the United States, Martin Regg Cohn writes.

The premier’s plan won’t put homeless people in houses. It will put them in jails.
