A more than 100-page manifesto filled with misogynistic and anti-police rhetoric was found in the hours after an Alberta man opened fire in a Montreal neighbourhood. Three people were killed, including an officer, the shooter and a civilian caught in the cross-fire. This isn’t the first Canadian shooting attack rooted in misogynistic ideology, it succeeds [] The post Canada is no stranger to misogyny.

Letters, July 1, 2026: ‘Poilievre singing new tune’

MACLEOD: Is Canada too big, too divided, and too centralized to work? Alberta thinks so

There is a serious argument that Canada is no longer merely a large country with regional differences, but a country so vast, economically uneven, and culturally divided that it is becoming nearly impossible to govern effectively from the centre. That argument should not be dismissed as anger, nostalgia, or Western grievance. It deserves to be examined on its merits.

My Canada

Stephen Downes, Jul 01, 2026 I saw a comment from someone on the socials today referring to Canada Day - which is today - as a slightly-problematic-holiday. It has bothered me all day. For while I get the point of the comment, and indeed am sympathetic with it, I think the commenter in turn isn't getting the point of Canada Day. And so while I haven't trotted out this post for a while, it's still pretty foundational to me and to what it is I think that we're all up to here in Canada. If you haven't read it, please do.

LEARNING TOOL Warren Kinsella’s July 3 column “What sets us apart” absolutely hit the nail on the head in expressing the thoughts and values of myself and I’m certain a great many Canadians.
