Methane regulations started with oil and gas, but farmers could be next, and Canadians will feel it in higher food prices The recent Memorandum of Understanding between Alberta and the federal government, signed with much fanfare, commits the province to aligning with Ottawa’s evolving methane emissions reduction agenda. The headline target of a 75 per cent cut in methane emissions from 2014 levels by 2035 has been framed as a necessary step in Canada’s climate strategy.

What looks like a far-off political mess is exposing how vulnerable Canada really is, especially on energy The sudden removal of Nicolás Maduro as president of Venezuela is being treated by some in Canada as a distant foreign drama. It isn’t. Venezuela’s political crisis marks a decisive geopolitical shift in the Western Hemisphere, and Canada is poorly positioned for what comes next. For years, Venezuela functioned less like a sovereign state and more like a criminal enterprise.

The U.S. has laid out a clear, action-driven national security plan. Ottawa’s response so far raises questions about whether Canada has one at all On Dec. 5, 2025, the president of the United States announced a new U.S. National Security Strategy. Each successive U.S. administration issues such a document at the beginning of its term, forcing a reassessment of national security at least every four years. It is a foundational exercise for government and for the public.

It’s not about money. It’s about the rules shaping how Canada’s health care system works Canada’s health care system isn’t failing because it lacks funding or public support. It’s failing because governments have tied it to restrictive rules that block private medical options used in other developed countries to deliver timely care.

Sweden responded to public disorder with a policy change. Canada responds with political paralysis Prime Minister Mark Carney told Davos last week that middle powers must strengthen their sovereignty in an era of great-power competition. He’s right about the diagnosis. But sovereignty isn’t built through trade diversification alone. It’s built on the unity of a people who trust their institutions to work. Sweden understood this. Canada hasn’t learned.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says we’ve entered a “new world order.” But what does that really mean for Canada? As Ottawa moves closer to China and signs a new economic roadmap with the China despite Carney previously calling them, Canada’s “greatest threat”. Is Canada changing sides? And what does this mean for our economy, security, and relationship with the United States, which is taking a harder line on China? Is this strategic leadership or short-term politics that could put Canada at risk?

Canada’s energy future may be at risk—but most Canadians don’t realize it yet. David Leis talks with Dan McTeague of Canadians for Affordable Energy about how Canada “put all its eggs in one basket” by relying almost entirely on the U.S. as its oil customer.
