Why Were They Cheering Mark Carney?

Why were European parliamentarians standing, applauding and lining up for selfies with Canada's prime minister? Perhaps because something larger is happening. Mark Carney is arguing that sovereignty comes not from isolation, but from strength, choices and relationships—and that middle powers need not let great powers determine their futures. What began at Davos increasingly looks like international leadership....

The Outsourcing of Happiness

We have become remarkably good at watching other people live. We cheer their victories, follow their lives and spend our time and money participating in their success. There is nothing wrong with enjoying excellence. But hope asks something more of us: to remain participants in our own lives, even when we cannot know the outcome. Celebrate others. Be inspired by them. Then invest some of that time, money, curiosity and energy in something of your own. We may never be world-class. We can still do things that are wonderfully worthwhile....

Whose Will Is It Anyway?

A B.C. court gave a disinherited adult daughter 45 per cent of her father’s estate. Could that happen in Saskatchewan? Our Legislature has drawn a different line between testamentary freedom and a child’s moral claim. And I think Saskatchewan has drawn the better one....

This Is Not a War

Perhaps Canada isn't the audience. The Trump administration's jabs at Canada's military make little sense as diplomacy. They make considerably more sense as a message to Americans: America is powerful again, and even Canada is learning who holds the cards. There is just one problem. We can hear them. So can America's other allies. And they may be hearing something quite different about American power, friendship and what happens when an ally says no....

Welcome Back, Russia

Russia is coming in from the cold. Its finance minister is back at the G20 table in America, and Vladimir Putin may be invited to the leaders’ summit. There is nothing wrong with talking to your enemies; sometimes peace requires it. But Russia has not ended its war, withdrawn from Ukraine or returned the territory it seized. Talking is diplomacy. Normalization should have to be earned. The danger is the lesson we send: that territorial conquest carries consequences—but only for a while....

The Adult and the Child—Trump, Carney and the bargain that no longer works

Donald Trump is changing the bargain that governed America’s relationship with Canada and much of the democratic world for generations. He wants America to retain the leverage that came with its economic and military dominance while making its commitments increasingly conditional. Mark Carney offers a very different response: reduce dependence, protect sovereignty and build partnerships with countries that share common interests. Trump looks at dependence and sees an opportunity for domination. Carney sees vulnerability—and a reason to build partnerships....

The Constitutional Architecture of Judicial Review: From CUPE to Democracy Watch

Democracy Watch v. Canada (Attorney General) addresses a fundamental constitutional question: how far may Parliament restrict judicial review? This article argues that the decision is best understood not as a departure from earlier administrative law jurisprudence, but as the Supreme Court of Canada's clearest affirmation to date of the constitutional balance between legislative supremacy and the rule of law. By tracing the evolution of judicial review through CUPE, Crevier, Dunsmuir and Vavilov, the article demonstrates that Democracy Watch confirms the constitutional limits on legislative attempts to restrict judicial supervision of delegated authority. Parliament may regulate judicial review, but it cannot eliminate the courts' constitutional responsibility to ensure that public power is exercised within lawful limits....

The Currency of Attention

The world doesn’t become a better place because millions of us watched a celebrity wedding. It becomes a better place because ordinary people quietly choose to make a difference in the lives of others. The question isn’t what captured our attention today. It’s whether we directed that attention where it mattered most....
