Ted Morton: Supreme Court teamed up with Trudeau to reverse the Constitution

As Albertans prepare to vote in their October referendum, it is important that they know and understand what has happened to the constitutional legacy of former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed. During the 1980-81 drafting of the Charter of Rights and the Constitution Act 1982, Lougheed and the other Western premiers negotiated and won four important concessions from the Trudeau Liberals. But now, four decades later, these hard-fought constitutional rights and powers have been reversed by the Supreme Court of Canada, Liberal federal governments, or the two working together. These constitutional losses represent a clear and present danger to Albertans’ future. Harmful federal policies can be repealed by a new federal government. Constitutional losses are permanent, unless challenged. Read More

Lisa Sygutek: The CBC is a predator of local news

I am a big believer in local news. In the face of threats to our culture and digital sovereignty from American Big Tech giants, the CBC has an important role to play in telling Canadian stories.

A major new study from Finland casts fresh doubt on the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for adolescents experiencing gender distress.

Yet this Finnish study — one of the largest and most robust to date — found no such benefit. Instead, it linked the treatments to a marked worsening of mental health. Read More

John Carpay: Orwellian Nova Scotia woods ban struck down on Charter’s anniversary

On the 44th anniversary of the Charter, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court vindicated Jeffrey Evely, who asserted his Charter right to move freely in the woods of Nova Scotia. The government had prohibited all activities — including hiking, picnicking, fishing, swimming, camping, and birdwatching — in a near-province-wide ban in August 2025, on the pretext of preventing forest fires.

Serge Labbé: Don’t forget Ukraine — victim of the West’s weakness and indecision

Having failed to resolve the Ukrainian-Russian stand-off in the first 24 hours of his second presidency as promised, Donald Trump has not only thrown the world economic system into tariff turmoil, but also plunged the planet into a Middle East quagmire from which he will fail to successfully extract himself, the American people and what allies he still has.
