Opinion This is why many Canadian veterans are troubled over the Khadr settlement
For those who have devoted their lives to defending Canada — and now fight to receive their deserved compensation — watching the Canadian government simply hand over $10.5 million to someone who allegedly fought against our ally is unsettling, to say the least. More read comments video

Opinion As Canadian troops arrive in Latvia, the battle for support lands at home
by
The real power in modern information warfare is what I call "participatory propaganda," in which a propagandist seeks to influence unsuspecting people in order to get them to actively start spreading a certain message. We might start seeing that in Russian propaganda efforts to delegitimize the mission in the eyes of Canadians.

Opinion Defeating ISIS in Mosul is a victory for Iraq. The challenge will be making it last: Michael Petrou
by
While ISIS ruled by terror, it drew some support from Sunnis who felt abandoned by a government in Baghdad, which they believed discriminated against Sunnis and cared only for Shias. It's these people that Iraq must now bring onside if it is to have any hope of maintaining control.

Opinion So Donald Jr. welcomed Russian intel. Whatever. Remember that time Hillary Clinton had a cold?: Robyn Urback
by
In the spirit of Donald Trump Jr. and his devotion to transparency, I will pre-emptively release some photos of a stolen minivan sitting in my driveway — as well as a video montage of me breaking the car’s window, hot-wiring the vehicle and then driving off to some sweet Burt Bacharach tunes — to prove I have absolutely never committed any form of theft.

Opinion The B.C. Liberals should offer up one of their own for the job of Speaker
by
If a Liberal stood for Speaker, the party would gain a measure of leverage over the government with the ever-present threat of withdrawal. Solve the NDP's problem in the present, and gain the ability to create a new headache for them down the road.

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
Omar's father, Ahmed Said Khadr, was a terrorist commander who raised his child to follow in his footsteps. No one reading this can say, with certainty, that his or her life would have turned out different from Omar Khadr's if he or she had been raised the same way.

Opinion The Liberals are considering loosening the reins on charities' political spending. That is a terrible idea
by
Currently, a large charity can spend only 10 per cent of its budget on "non-partisan" political activity. If the government accepts the recommendations of a CRA report, charities will be allowed unlimited "non-partisan" political engagement.

Opinion The left and the right are in an all-out outrage arms race
by
After years on the defensive, conservatives are annexing some territory in America's troubling war of hurt feelings and faux outrage. The recent controversies over a Kathy Griffin stunt and a Julius Caesar production are only two such examples.
