Carson Jerema: Is Carney leader of the Trump 'resistance' or an inanimate carbon rod?
Look, an inanimate carbon rod would have been a “pretty big upgrade” on Trudeau, but it is still an inanimate carbon rod, so perhaps some perspective is in order. Carney spoke as if the “international rules-based order” exists (existed?) as a distinct entity separate and apart from American power. an “international rules-based order” is because the Americans wanted it. Critics of American power have long argued that the security and economic prosperity enjoyed for 80 years didn’t actually require U.S. leadership, and so American power may not be needed at all.

After dramatic week taking on Trump, Carney skips out on answering questions
Prime Minister Mark Carney had an eventful week that saw him try and reposition Canada on the world stage and host high-level cabinet meetings — but it ended with unanswered questions about what comes next. Carney was scheduled to take reporters' questions after two days of meetings with his front benches in Quebec City — standard fare at these retreats. Carney's main interaction with reporters came Thursday evening, when he told a group trying to get answers on the Trump relationship that their questions were boring. Boring or not, the stack of questions for the prime minister has grown over the week, including where the fractured bilateral relationship goes and what that could mean for trade negotiations.

Defence rests its case without Tony Humby taking the stand
Thirty-two people testified in the trial of accused sexual predator Tony Humby, but he wasn't one of them. The defence rested its case on Friday with Humby opting not to take the stand. Thirty-one of those people testified as the Crown presented its case, while the defence called a single witness on Friday — a social worker who worked closely with one of the complainants who kicked off the case against Humby in 2022. The social worker confirmed the boy had said those things, but later told Crown prosecutor Deidre Badcock she didn't believe him. The social worker said she had a positive relationship with the boy, who was living in a group home at the time.

NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis goes after AI data centres
When completed, the Microsoft data centre in the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke will have a gross floor area of 280,000 square feet. Moratorium on AI data centresOne of the more controversial aspects of Lewis's AI platform is its call to pause the expansion of data centres used for the technology. The campaign is also proposing to amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act to regulate data centre water limits, levying a tax or a combination of these measures. "AI is merely a further extension of our addiction to machinery, with huge costs to environments and communities through data centres and technological labour displacement," McQuail said. Fellow candidate Heather McPherson, meanwhile, wants to limit how much power goes to data centres and ban corporate landlords from using AI to set rent prices.

Searching for Ontario’s missing Black boys
The signal flareThe phenomenon of Black boys going missing, sometimes called "going OT," is not new, but has rarely become front page news. (Shelley Ayres/CBC)The issue of the missing boys might not have gained more attention were it not for one GTA activist who was concerned about five missing Black boys in 2024. Although Statistics Canada data shows that Black boys make up less than 10 per cent of the city's population for that age group, of the missing boys, almost half were Black. Shana McCalla launched a social media campaign to draw attention to the plight of missing Black boys in Ontario. The Find Ontario's Missing Boys Instagram page, created by Shana McCalla, went viral, shining a spotlight on the issue of missing Black teens in the province.

REEL Politics Isn’t Your Typical Night at ByTowne Cinema
On Jan. 8, Bruce and Mollie Anderson’s new film series, REEL Politics, reached its halfway mark with a screening of Elia Kazan’s “A Face in the Crowd” at ByTowne Cinema. That said, “A Face in the Crowd” failed to draw in young audience members. Mansbridge took us through the fateful moment when he announced the gate number and sent everyone charging forward except Churchill’s local radio producer, Gaston Charpentier. There is, however, a heartwarming symmetry to REEL politics’ actualization. The community members behind REEL politics curate endearing, thought-provoking, and entertaining films for Ottawa locals.
