Canada is pulling back from progressive policies, but were we ever really committed to them in the first place? 

 

Whether it’s the reversal on DEI from BMO, RBC, and Shopify or Carney’s shift away from a feminist foreign policy, Canada is quietly pivoting from Trudeau-era progressive policies. 

 

Plus, concerns over Quebec’s proposed constitution and the Blue Jays get aggressive in Japan.
