Canadians have given Ottawa permission to build fast. New polling from Abacus Data and Vantage shows what that permission assumes, and why foreign ownership is where it runs out. Oct 05, 2026Over a week ago, I stood up at Cassels in Toronto and walked a room of smart and interested leaders through what Canadians think about building things. It’s a particular kind of audience: people who finance, permit, lobby for and lawyer the projects Ottawa now calls nation-building. They’ve spent a year listening to everyone speak for the public. The go… Continue reading this post for free, courtesy of David Coletto.

Jesse Marsch has never shied from the spotlight. Throughout his 15-year management career, Marsch has routinely spoken his mind, even when, perhaps, staying silent might be the better course of action. Unafraid of any potential blowback, Marsch is a reporter’s dream, always ready to offer a controversial soundbite. It should come as no surprise, then, that ahead of Canada’s friendly with the United States on Tuesday night in St. Paul, Marsch has once again made himself the lightning rod during a period of frayed ties between the traditional allies. You can catch Canada vs. the United States LIVE on Tuesday night with pre-game coverage getting underway at 7pm ET/4pm PT ahead of an 8pm ET/5pm PT kick-off on TSN1, TSN.ca and the TSN App. In a wide-ranging interview with The Guardian’s Joe Callaghan, Marsch directed some vitriol towards the nation of his birth and its soccer program. That’s nothing new for the native of Racine, Wis. The 52-year-old Marsch has never hidden his dislike for U. S. Soccer after he believes he was close to becoming the USMNT manager in 2023.

In my view, one of the best things about Canada is how the country found a way to settle fundamental differences—including debates over the future of the country—through democratic means. Even as other major democracies endured decades of violence and repression related to separatist causes, Canada collectively agreed to keep violence out of the question as it worked through the complex question of Quebec sovereignty. When things went too far—whether in the form of the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) crisis or in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police running amok in the years that followed—Canadians again and again found a way to take a step back, change course, and settle things peacefully, democratically, and within the rule of law, among ourselves. That last point is crucial. Conversations about the future of Canada must be the purview of Canadians alone. Here, too, history is a useful guide. When Charles de Gaulle made his notorious speech from the steps of Montreal’s City Hall in 1967, declaring “Vive Le Québec libre!” the Canadian government responded immediately.

An unprecedented $100-million investment has launched an ambitious new program at the University of Toronto, which will build a growing fellowship of PhD students focused on real-world global challenges. The Presidents’ Impact Scholarship Program will seek to attract top PhD applicants from Canada and around the world. It will gather 12 or more PhD scholars annually to work on a specific theme – a major question or vexing problem facing society – in an environment of creative collision and intellectual cross-pollination. The program is made possible thanks to an anonymous $50-million commitment – among the largest gifts to doctoral education in Canadian history – and matching funds from the university. “As Canada and the world face challenges of increasing complexity, future solutions will require new ideas and fresh thinking that cuts across disciplines,” said U of T President Melanie Woodin.

A sprawling, low-pressure system centred over southern Labrador is set to bring strong winds and fresh snowfall to parts of Atlantic Canada on Tuesday. This system is expected to linger through the day before gradually moving out by Wednesday morning. DON'T MISS: First blizzard warning of the season for major Canadian highwayWinds will strengthen significantly, with gusts reaching 60–80 km/h inland and up to 90 km/h or higher in coastal regions, particularly around the Northumberland Strait, Bay of Fundy, P. E. I., and the mouth of the St. Lawrence River. Due to the high winds, the Confederation Bridge has restricted certain types of vehicles from crossing until the winds subside. Restricted classes include automobiles towing trailers, motorcycles, highsided vehicles including trucks, tractor trailers, recreational vehicles, and buses. Wind gusts will peak Tuesday afternoon into the evening, remaining blustery overnight, before easing across the Maritimes and Newfoundland by Wednesday morning. Major temperature tumble this week, significant snow over LabradorBehind the system, temperatures will drop 5°C to 10°C below seasonal, driven by a chilly northwest airflow.

Plus: Peripheral Labs adds former Meta product lead as CPO. This week, AI research firm Transluce dropped a line to the Canadian government, letting it know that unidentified AI agents had tried to hack Library and Archives Canada over the summer. While the government says there’s “no indication” the federal institute’s data was compromised, the event is just the latest in a laundry list of “rogue AI” incidents, including the Hugging Face fiasco and reports that OpenAI agents hacked into Australian medical and bushfire databases in June. Experts have cautioned that those incidents could become more frequent and more severe.
