Opinion Perhaps the Liberals should change their motto to 'Diversity is our strength, sorta': Robyn Urback
The Trudeau government is free to walk out on whomever it wants during a status of women committee meeting, and to be selective in its divvying-out of grant money, but to do so should wipe out this illusion of the Liberals as advocates of diversity.

Opinion Sen. Lynn Beyak's views might be 'typical' but that doesn't make them right

Opinion Foreign leaders might want to dial back the Iran protest schadenfreude
