Open this photo in gallery:A woman walks near a polling station as advance voting for the Alberta referendum gets underway in Calgary, Tuesday. Todd Korol/ReutersCanada is often described as a divided country, and of course it is. No country as large and diverse as ours, built on two official languages, 10 provinces, several dozen Crown-Indigenous treaties and countless ethnicities, could fail to be. But lots of other countries have similar divisions, without arriving at the fix we are now in, with not one but two provinces pondering whether to secede from the union. What factors make Canada so peculiarly fissiparous? One is our failure to develop a coherent theory of nationhood, a vision of what we have in common as Canadians compelling enough to overcome the temptations of particularism. A second related factor: Canada, all but uniquely among the democracies, has provided for its own dissolution, in its political debates and constitutional jurisprudence. Most other countries’ constitutions forbid it, explicitly or implicitly. Third, and perhaps most immediately relevant: We have an electoral system that seems almost purpose-built to divide us.

Lois Silver/The Canadian PressThe lawyer for a Washington resident accused of conspiring with the Tumbler Ridge shooter told a judge Tuesday his client has co-operated fully with police since the February shooting and does not pose a threat to the public. The accused, James Cody Bryant, 30, of Bellingham, Wash., appeared in U. S. District Court in Seattle for a pretrial detention hearing Thursday. Ms. Bryant goes by Melody and uses she/her pronouns, according to her lawyers. She wore glasses, and a beige button-down jumpsuit over her slight frame. Her long hair reached past her shoulders. Ms. Bryant’s lawyer, public defender Gregory Murphy, argued his client could be safely released before trial under conditions, including potential house detention, a mental health assessment and strict monitoring of her online activities. He noted Ms. Bryant, who was arrested last week, was shocked by the shooting and has co-operated with police since the days after it occurred.

The remarkable heat and humidity on Tuesday in southern Ontario was likely the last shot of summer-like weather for the year. Tuesday was definitely a bonus summer-like day in southern Ontario as moisture from the remnants of post-tropical storm Rachel helped boost the temperatures and humidity. As a result, Windsor and Sarnia, Ont., both hit the 30-degree mark--an impressive, record-breaking feat for mid-October. Not only was Oct. 13 the latest in the year for those cities to hit 30 C, other Ontario cities broke daily records, as well.

On October 1, 2026, through Order in Council 2026-0925, Canada designated the Pacific Link Pipeline as a national interest project to be listed at Schedule 1 to the Building Canada Act (BCA).

What does a national interest project designation do?

This weekend, the Palestinian Authority broke an explicit commitment on which Canada’s recognition of Palestinian statehood was based: holding general elections in 2026 in which Hamas would have no role. CIJA is calling on the Government of Canada to hold Palestinian leaders accountable or else it risks a dangerous double standard that has consequences for the safety of Canadians.

Prime Minister Mark Carney, right, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speak after signing agreements in Calgary, Alta., on Sept. OTTAWA — Confusion reigns in Ottawa about just what Donald Trump’s deal with Russia is. After a weekend of speeches, impromptu comments to media and Truth Social posts by the U. S. president, not much is clear about the deal — or deals — his administration claims to have brokered with Russia and Ukraine.

Despite the federal government actively seeking AI investment in Canada, municipalities across Ontario are being pushed by constituents to put a pause on data centres and large digital infrastructure projects until some regulatory guard rails have been put in place. In the past two months alone, Oakville, Sault Ste. Marie and Mississauga have all passed Interim Control By-Laws that pause data centre development in those municipalities for the next year.

This piece is part of our Forum of Federations Series on National Unity and Canadian Federalism. Most states regard territorial integrity as a fundamental principle. Whether in unitary or federal countries, it is generally assumed that the state is permanent. Governments may change, constitutions may be amended, but the existence of the state is not subject to negotiation.

The United States and Canada have been locked in a trade war for over a month. And now, it’s becoming a political problem. Following US threats to impose 50 percent tariffs on about twenty billion dollars’ worth of imports, Ottawa and Washington began fierce negotiations. But the talks fell through, triggering a tit-for-tat, escalating trade war. Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs on twenty billion dollars’ worth of US exports, the US imposed an import ban on certain Canadian goods, and both sides seem to be digging in for the long haul.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer analyze the potential fallout from upcoming U. S. midterm elections for Canada-U. S. relations. They argue that a Democratic congressional victory won’t improve Canada’s position, as a politically weakened Trump may become more unpredictable and rely heavily on executive powers in trade and foreign policy. They explore how anti-Canadian sentiment persists in MAGA circles and examine Trump’s potential pressure points against Canada beyond CUSMA, warning that Ottawa’s optimism about post-midterm negotiations may be misplaced.
