Free speech isn’t a lost cause
At a time when reason is desperately needed, Maxime Bernier has become one of only a few voices of reasons in Canada. “We are not at risk. We are a sovereign country,” the leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) told me a few weeks ago.

Rather than lead with prudence, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has echoed the anti-Trump rhetoric. The propaganda machine is in full swing.
