Maxime Bernier

For years now, Canada’s Conservatives have played footsie with an increasingly radicalized right-wing populist movement. The sooner their relationship with them is brought into the light, the better it will be for everyone else. 

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland was photographed holding a scarf bearing colours associated with a far-right Ukrainian paramilitary group from the Second World War this past weekend.

The escalating nature of these threats is setting off alarm bells among those who study violent extremism, writes Caroline Orr.

Almost 96 per cent of votes cast in a leadership review were in favour of Bernier staying at the helm of the People's Party of Canada. 

Maxime Bernier has lost his defamation fight against a controversial columnist who repeatedly portrayed the People's Party of Canada leader as racist, misogynist and anti-Semitic during the run-up to the 2019 federal election.

Coming out of a federal election, those of us in media must be measured and judicious in editorial decisions about how to direct our limited resources to fairly report on matters of concern to all Canadians, writes columnist Sandy Garossino.

In a tweet Wednesday, the leader of the People's Party of Canada called three journalists from mainstream news outlets “idiots” and listed their emails, writing: “They want to play dirty, we will play dirty too.”

If this sort of sympathetic coverage of Maxime Bernier and his PPC seems familiar, that’s because it should, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

The fifth and final week of the federal election campaign kicked off on Sunday, September 12, 2021, with the Liberals and New Democrats each questioning whether their opponent's plan to pay for the billions of campaign spending promises was based in reality.

Federal party leaders jousted over climate change, health care, foreign policy, the economy and Indigenous reconciliation during Thursday's, September 9, 2021, English-language debate — their last, best chance to sway voters before the Sept. 20 election.

Five federal party leaders jousted over health and child care, the environment and Quebec identity politics in the first of two official election debates on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, evening as they sought to sway francophone voters before election day on Sept. 20, 2021.

It's officially time to take Maxime Bernier seriously and start asking questions about what his rise means for the five other federal parties, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Five federal party leaders will face off in the first of two official election debates tonight, September 8, 2021, in what may well be their best chance to sway voters before election day on Sept. 20, 2021.

This isn’t the time to humour their irrational beliefs, or cater to their selective interpretation of our Constitution and its contents, writes columnist Max Fawcett.
