Owning the libs is no way to actually govern a country, as Americans keep finding out with each passing day. That's not about to stop Pierre Poilievre from constantly trying to do it.

If Danielle Smith actually wants to advance the prospects of a new oil pipeline, she needs to do more than just rattle her well-worn sabre at Ottawa.

Why the prime minister's promise of a "carbon competitiveness strategy" is about more than just reducing emissions — and why it might set Canada up for success

Canada's oil and gas industry has been getting less labour-intensive for more than a decade now. When will our elected officials finally acknowledge that — and its obvious implications for the future?

The Conservative leader clearly thinks the byelection in Battle River-Crowfoot is going to be a cakewalk. His opponents have other ideas.

The Conservative Party of Canada will reportedly hold a leadership review next January. It's not at all clear that Pierre Poilievre will even make it that far.

Canada’s Conservatives spent years feeding the fantasy of Alberta separatism. Now they have to crush it

As the premier of the province it’s her job to talk the separatists down, not rile them up. But to Smith, her most important job is clearly that of leader of the United Conservative Party — and she's determined not to lose control of it the way Jason Kenney did.

Progressives can, and should, still care deeply about climate change, affordable housing, and any number of other issues that aren’t automatically aligned with the priorities of the business elite. They just need better arguments to make their case.

This renewed bet by Poilievre on the oil and gas industry might help his Conservative Party of Canada win more seats in Alberta and Saskatchewan, if they didn’t already hold all but two of them.
