Perversely, Elizabeth Wettlaufer’s casual and systematic murder of eight Ontario nursing home residents in her care may end up accomplishing one thing.
It may finally force the provincial government to confront the dysfunctional nature of its long-term care system. […]
New Democratic Party federal leadership aspirant Jagmeet Singh is on a roll. He’s raising more money than his three rivals. He’s getting more attention.

This week we learned that the White House isn’t really the white house. It’s a frat house with a manicured lawn. How else can you describe a place where a guy who goes by the nickname “The Mooch” (a.k.a. recently appointed and sacked White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci) reportedly misses the birth of his child so that he can hang with his buddy, a guy called “The Donald”? (a.k.a. the President of the United States, Donald Trump.)

Not so, showed a bizarre democratic process that unfolded in a small Quebec town on Sunday night. A
referendum, ostensibly about zoning changes, ended up giving a handful of non-Muslims the power to tell Muslims how to bury their dead. […]
Is there a statute of limitations on statues?
Do personalities of the past deserve amnesties after the fact, forgiving their transgressions while sanitizing their triumphs? Or must our founders be held to account, forcing their followers to admit that historical legacies are subject to latter day judgments? […]
Justin Trudeau is having a rough summer. It turns out that a lot of Canadians aren’t thrilled about the federal government’s multimillion-dollar settlement payout to former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr, arguably the only public face in the nation more handsome than the prime minister’s.
