Thu, 03/12/2026 - 14:10

At the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, Canada finished eighth in the total medal count. It was the country’s lowest Winter Olympic medal tally since the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. The result is a failure of leadership; Prof. Karl Moore writes in Forbes.com. For many would-be Olympians, the costs are simply out of reach. Elite athletic programs don’t get sufficient funding, and according to the Canadian Olympic Committee, athletes are paying an average of $25,000 each year out of pocket just to compete.

Thu, 03/12/2026 - 10:28

March 12, 2026 | Jennifer Welsh wrote a piece in The Globe and Mail with Margaret Biggs arguing that Mark Carney’s emerging foreign-policy vision should more clearly incorporate partnerships with emerging and developing economies.
