My new op-ed: the end of the luxury of a cost-free foreign policy for Canada "Canada has benefitted from an incredible luxury for the past three decades: we have been able to make mistakes in major foreign and national security policy decisions...

Folks, the Houthis are not "defending Gaza" or trying to "stop a genocide". They are using the Gaza war as a pretext to consolidate their (brutal, autocratic) rule inside Yemen and to position themselves as a regional power.

What will Canadians who support Trump say when he slaps a 10 or 20% tariff on all Canadian exports to the US, if he wins? (75% of our exports go to the US)

2 things can be true at the same time, folks: -the Palestinian people have been deprived of dignity for decades and Israel's brutal occupation is strategically and morally reprehensible -Hamas is an Iran-backed terrorist group and its violence does not advance the cause of peace

If you take a few steps back, seeing Jordan and Saudi Arabia helping defend Israel against Iranian attacks is a pretty stunning development.

Imagine someone in 2014 - when MbS was the barely known nephew of the Saudi king, Trump was The Apprentice guy, and Al Sharaa was an Al Qaeda leader - telling you this photo would be a thing in 2025

Remember that Qatar agreed to host the Hamas political office in Doha (and pay civil service salaries in Gaza before 2023) with the explicit support of Israel & the US. Not because Qatar openly supports Hamas but because everyone agreed that it was useful to have a space to talk
