Carney and Poilievre find themselves on two very different hot seats as Parliament gears up to return
OTTAWA — Canada’s two main political party leaders won’t boast about the connection, but they have at least one important thing in common these days: As a new session of Parliament opens Monday, they’re both sitting on hot seats. “But they won’t wait forever.”Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementThe political waters could get murkier later in the year. Economists don’t expect the Canadian economy to provide the Carney government with that cover in 2026, but many do see the year as pivotal in determining longer-term growth. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementTurnbull said Poilievre could survive the leadership review, but still be weakened within caucus if party voters don’t give him a strong mandate. On the surface, Carney would appear to be on solid political ground — much more so than his key rival.

Bluster, tariffs and a quiet retreat: Why Trump made a U-turn on Greenland
But a framework for allied cooperation on Arctic security has been in place for decades, making this simply an elegant way of backing down on untenable bluffs. Analysts say Trump had no legal authority to impose the tariffs he threatened, and invading would have weakened NATO and Arctic defence, rather than strengthening it. But Trump’s tariffs weren’t the only untenable bluff in his Greenland gambit; his Arctic security rationale drew sharp criticism from defence analysts. Arctic security realityTrump argued that owning Greenland was key to Arctic security, owing to threats posed by both China and Russia, but security analysts disagreed.

Randall Denley: The senselessness of Carney selling out Ontario, and Doug Ford, over Chinese cars
In reacting to the news of the Chinese EV deal, Ford said “so much for the partnership,” then added: “At least I know where I stand now.”Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementFord says he found out about the EV deal only a few hours before it was announced. In Carney’s Canadian version of the new world order, personal relationships count for nothing and it’s every province for itself. Without access to the U.S. market, a Chinese EV plant could never produce the volume needed to justify the expense of building it. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementUnder current federal rules, car companies in Canada would actually subsidize the new Chinese EV imports. Given the uncertainty over the future of the Canada-U.S. trade deal, Carney’s concession to the Chinese is ill-timed, at best.

Poilievre calls Carney 'lucky' to be judged by his 'rhetoric,' says results lacking after Davos speech
OTTAWA — As Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech about the need for middle powers to unite against “hegemons” receives international praise, his main political rival back in Canada calls him “lucky” to be judged by his words. “So far, Mr. Carney has been lucky that he’s been judged by his rhetoric and his stated intention, by the number of his trips and meetings overseas,” Poilievre said in a statement, circulated by his office. Poilievre also underscored that regardless of Canadians’ feelings towards the U.S. administration, Canada’s relationship with its closest neighbour remains. Poilievre, who last week took to X to affirm support for Greenland’s sovereignty, also touched on the issue in Thursday’s statement. The Conservative leader has over the past year faced criticism from within about his ability to pivot to confront the Canada-U.S. issue, which dominated much of last year’s federal election campaign, which the Liberals won.

The Cowboys Fanbase & Front Office Must Move On From Jim Leonhard
Following the Dallas Cowboys’ firing of first-year Defensive Coordinator Matt Eberflus, both the fanbase, and seemingly the organization, fell in love with one name as his replacement: Broncos defensive assistant Jim Leonhard. The 43-year-old Wisconsin native and former NFL safety is Denver’s assistant head coach and defensive pass game coordinator, and he’s risen through the ranks quickly to earn those titles. Lots of buzz going around that the Giants are looking to hire #Broncos defensive pass-game coordinator Jim Leonhard as their new DC. Arizona, as things stand right now, is likely to hire Joseph away from Denver, leaving Sean Payton in need of a defensive coordinator. If you haven’t caught on yet, I’ll put it this way: the Dallas Cowboys are probably Jim Leonhard’s fourth, fifth, or longer choice, behind both New York teams, Green Bay, and Denver.

Diane Francis: I wrote the book on a Canada-U.S. merger. Trump can't afford us
But unlike Greenland, Trump can’t afford to buy Canada. Obviously, the U.S. cannot afford to buy Canada, and Canadians, like Greenlanders, aren’t interested in being absorbed. However, Trump intends to “buy” Greenland or invade it despite their objections, and Canadians rightly worry that they might be next. However, at the end of the day, any deal to “buy” Canada would be prohibitive. So my message to the White House, based on my research, is loud and clear: Mr. Trump, you may try to buy Greenland, but you can’t afford Canada.
