Tasha Kheiriddin: Antisemitic terrorism is a national emergency. Carney needs to act like it

When does hate become terrorism? Answer: when it is orchestrated, repeatedly, to sow fear, cause chaos, and undermine society. One hateful act can be the work of a vengeful madman; a series of hateful acts, against the same community, conducted in a similar manner, constitute terrorism. Read More

Why U.K. conservatives need to imitate Canada: Full Comment podcast

British politics has become a farce, with Andy Burnham now the United Kingdom’s seventh prime minister in a decade. And no one knows what he really stands for or if he’ll even outlast the last six, as Daniel Hannan, head of the Institute of Economic Affairs and independent member of the House of Lords, tells Brian Lilley. They discuss the reason why so many prime ministers keep falling, and what the new Labour leader’s chances look like. They also get into the fates of Kemi Badenoch’s Conservative and Nigel Farage’s Reform parties, and why Hannan thinks they both need to take an important lesson from Canada’s Conservative party to beat Labour and start cleaning things up in Britain. (Recorded July 23, 2026.) Read More

Colby Cosh: How come it takes a right-wing convoy for courts to uphold law and order?

Man bites dog dep’t: Last Thursday the _National Magazine_ of the Canadian Bar Association published an op-ed praising the Ontario Court of Appeal for an act of rock-solid common sense. A couple of weeks ago, the court overturned some Superior Court acquittals for Freedom Convoy organizer Pat King, who had been successfully convicted on mischief and other charges related to the 2022 trucker protests that besieged parts of Ottawa. But the judge trying King, the Hon. Charles Hackland, had declined to convict King on three charges related to the Criminal Code offence of “intimidation,” which can carry a sentence of up to five years’ imprisonment. Read More

Barbara Kay: It’s time to get rid of the International Criminal Court

The International Criminal Court (ICC) was founded in 2002. Strict adherence to international protocols and law is not its strong suit, and its activities have accordingly been roiled by controversy, not least with regard to its steep operating costs and its frequently shaky jurisdictional presumptions. Thanks to the alleged sexual and political hubris of its now-former chief prosecutor, the ICC is presently mired in a serious crisis that may lead to its collapse, an outcome devoutly hoped for by its many critics.

Joe Oliver: The lie that Israel’s committing ‘genocide’ is fuelling antisemitism

The false accusation that Israel is guilty of genocide for its actions in Gaza has been repeated so often that it has become normalized in the media, academia, politics and civil society. Yet it is a mendacious blood libel that inverts the truth by absolving those who seek to wipe out Israel, for the cynical purpose of delegitimizing the world’s only Jewish state, a refuge for Holocaust survivors, and threatening diaspora Jews. Furthermore, it does a disservice to actual genocides that have been committed around the world. Read More
