Opinion Omar Khadr might be entitled to a settlement, but it's wrong to say he 'deserves' it: Robyn Urback
by
Someone who fought against Canada’s allies and left two children fatherless is not worthy of a multimillion-dollar windfall, no matter how atrocious his subsequent treatment. But Canada stupidly abdicated its responsibilities to one of its citizens, so it's now paying a price.

Opinion Omar Khadr deserves his settlement and his apology from the Canadian government: Jonathan Kay
by

Opinion Gord Downie, when it comes to collective Indigenous resilience, let us speak for ourselves
by
Gord Downie was honoured with the Order of Canada last week for his work on reconciliation and residential school policy. But there are countless examples where the voices of the very communities celebrities are trying to support are drowned out.

Opinion Resilience, self-determination are the tools Inuit youth need to fight suicide
by
Culture, language and history — the self-determination of Inuit — all play a role in overall mental health. For that reason, we need to foster a stronger connection to these elements in our youth in order to combat the teen suicide crisis that has ravaged many Inuit communities.

Opinion Free trade between provinces? That would be anarchy: Neil Macdonald

Opinion Don't change O Canada. Just replace it with the theme song from Cheers: Robyn Urback
by
