We may be on the cusp of doing something about wealth inequality in Canada. Robin Sears writes: When even thoughtful American conservative commentators like George Will muse about the need for a new response from his tribe to the risks to democracy of widening wealth inequality; when the wealth of billionaires has increased obscenely from the profits generated by homebound customers in a pandemic; and when even Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole demands that the rich pay their fair share, you know that the political wheel on equality has begun to turn in a surprising new direction. ... read more

Better National Security Requires a More Involved Congress*Sam Abodo* *AUMF, Middle East* A solid legal foundation for intervention makes our national security stronger, our allies happier, and our foreign policy diverse. It has been seventy-nine years since the United States went to war. Or at least legally. Since World War II, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared war on the Axis powers, the United States has never gone to war with explicit permission from Congress. President Lyndon B. Johnson went to war in Vietnam under the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution but without a formal declaration; President George H.W. Bush ordered 150,00... read more

On Writing for The Sun
Keir Starmer has written an op-ed for *The Sun*. Like most people who pay attention to such things, I can't say I'm surprised. Plenty of his subordinates have tested the water during the last year, so it was only a matter of time before the big cheese took the plunge. Readers recalling the 2020 leadership election will remember his politician's answer on this issue, saying he wouldn't be giving any interviews to *The Sun* during the *course of the campaign*. It was slippery but barely noticed then, but now he can shrug his shoulders and say he hasn't broken any promises. Which is mo... read more
