Now that the Rouleau report on the Emergencies Act and the Ottawa occupation is out, I want to take a deep breath and say one thing.

We told you so.

We Told You So

The Rouleau Commission vindicates the federal government—and everyone who warned about the convoy and ensuing occupation of Ottawa.

Good morning.

I am once again asking Doug Ford, who was found to have abandoned Ottawa during the occupation, to resign.

Doug Ford Must Resign (2023 Edition)

The conservative failson never should have become premier. He certainly shouldn't have won a second election. A new slate of scandals and failures ought to be the final straw, at last.

For the weekend crowd: we have a trust problem. And that’s bad news. (It’s also a class problem.)

We have a trust problem. That is very bad news.

Around the world, trust is low and getting lower. History reminds us what happens next tends to be messy. But we can head that off now, if we really want to.
