Canada submarine defence spending just became real, with a deal that won't deliver a single vessel for eight to ten years. The Monday study panel breaks down why the government went with a German partner over South Korea or Japan, and what that says about the pace of Canada's NATO commitments.

Pipelines, Pancakes, and Who Got Left Out

Before the defence talk, the conversation opens with what a real party looks like from a Saskatchewan campfire to a Montreal barbecue table, then pivots to the new pipeline deal between Ontario and Alberta that leaves Quebec on the outside looking in.

A House Too Broken to Fix

The panel turns to 24 Sussex Drive and the plan to crowdfund the Prime Minister's official residence, calling out decades of neglect from every party in power. The submarine purchase gets weighed against that same pattern, big promises with a timeline nobody can shorten.
