As the candidates make their pitch to try and convince Canadians why they’re best-suited to lead the country, Trump’s tariffs will take centre stage. But while the tariff issue is important, let’s not forget the other important issues Canadians face.

At the heart of this issue is President Trump’s view of both international trade and tariffs. Unfortunately for everyone, Trump’s understanding and knowledge of both have some fundamental problems.

The sad reality is that Canadians will lose with either leader. Ottawa’s outsized role in health care is part of the problem, and reducing that role by reforming cash transfers to the provinces is both part of the solution for health care and one way to help rein in federal overspending.

The government should immediately review all spending on the basis of efficiency, value for money, and the appropriate role of government—similar to the spending review initiated by the federal Chrétien government during the 1990s.

While the full extent of the damage from President Trump’s trade war remains unknowns, Canadians should understand that, with a federal election looming, shortsighted policies here at home have left Canada in a vulnerable position.

Last week, B.C. Premier David Eby proposed new legislation to give himself and his cabinet sweeping powers to unilaterally change almost any provincial law and regulation without legislative approval or review.

If you’re a parent with kids in the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), with its woke indoctrination, teacher strikes, ongoing school violence and lack of focus on the academic basics, there’s a good chance you want something better for your children.

According to the Moe government’s budget released on Wednesday, Saskatchewan will run a $12.2 million surplus in 2025/26. But during these uncertain times, with a trade war raging and a federal election looming, it may not be long until the government is back in the red and piling more government debt onto the backs of Saskatchewanians.

Specifically, the government projects a $549 million deficit this year, and additional deficits in each year of its mandate, due primarily to spending increases.

With the election in full swing, Canadians are discussing important issues that affect our lives. But most people likely don’t know that March is Self-Harm Awareness month, which is meant to spread awareness about the plight of those battling mental illness.

With a federal election looming, many federal government policies will go under the microscope including the “Clean Electricity Regulations” (CERs), which went into effect late last year.

According to a new report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO), the federal government’s proposed oil and gas emissions cap will curtail production, cost a not-so-small fortune and kill a lot of jobs.

Which country—Canada or the United States—has the most crime? Most Canadians would likely say the U.S. by a wide margin.
