Lorne Gunter: Bloody weekend in Edmonton heightens calls for bail reform On Tuesday, Edmonton mayoral candidate Rahim Jaffer issued an open letter calling on big-city mayors across the country to band together and demand the Carney government bring in meaningful bail reforms, not the piddly, window-dressing reforms introduced by the Trudeau Liberals last year.

Lorne Gunter: Want to cut federal operating expenses? Start with the civil service Here’s a staggering statistic for you: Nearly 40 per cent of the federal civil service (147,000 of 373,000 federal bureaucrats) made in excess of $100,000 in 2024. The average Canadian made just shy of $68,000.

Lorne Gunter: Canada still hasn't seen Carney's promised leadership The chances of Canada convincing Donald Trump’s White House to reverse his tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods seems remote. There’s a possibility cases working their way through the U.S. courts will — maybe within the next six to 12 months — find Trump has overstepped his authority to impose tariffs and reverse them.

Gunter: Trudeau cost Canada a chance to get into global LNG game — Trump and U.S. are reaping the benefit Last Sunday, at President Donald Trump’s golf resort in Scotland (a.k.a. King Donald’s summer palace), Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Union pledged European countries would buy US$750 billion (over $1 trillion Canadian) of U.S. energy – largely LNG – over the next three years in return for Trump promising to impose only 15% tariffs on the union’s member states.
