In October 2023, a right-wing government swept to power in New Zealand on a wave of populist anger similar to Canada’s. The results so far? Government debt forecast to rise. The deficit got worse. Unemployment is increasing. Craig Renney writes.

While President Trump’s administration rolls back hard-won anti-racist initiatives in the U.S., many of us in Canada shake our heads. But we ought to look at how the Canadian government played a role in shaping how we understand racialized people.

“Liberal democracy” doesn’t mean one governed by liberals or Liberals. It means we protect individual liberties and group rights. Populists, by contrast, focus on the majority — often at the expense of minorities and dissenters, writes Wesley.

Trump’s return has sparked tighter border policies. But research shows policing borders pushes migrants into more dangerous crossing points, which leads migrants to rely more heavily on human smuggling operations. Experts write.
