Do NOT ask AI for your polling location. It may not be accurate and boundaries have changed since last election meaning any answer is likely wrong. You will be turned away if you show up to the wrong polling station! (3/6)

His changes recognised that, over the past decade, the centre of gravity of the global Catholic community has increasingly shifted away from Europe and towards the Americas and Africa.

How did Pope Francis transform the Catholic Church during his 12-year papacy?

My analysis in the wake of his death for @news.sky.com shows how he diversified the upper leadership of the Church.

Under Francis, a majority of cardinals came from outside Europe for the first time.

My latest: Last year's Toronto byelection was a shocking defeat for the Liberal Party.

But newly released financial returns now reveal the loss was even more devastating given that they spent more on their campaign than the Conservatives.

No better time than Christmas Eve to read all about Canadian arms sales !

In a year-end article for @theijf.org I analyzed all federal government contracts newly signed in 2024.

Turns out defence contracts made up nearly 65% of the total value awarded this year.

As another example, I found that multiple former Trump administration officials who worked in the US Dept. of Energy advising on policy are now external relations advisors for TC Energy and its brand new crude oil pipeline spin-off South Bow.

In my latest for @theijf.org, I dive into TC Energy's insider connections with Donald Trump's new administration.

Canadian grocery bills have skyrocketed in the last 5 yrs. Who — or what — is to blame?

Some blame the carbon tax while others point to a lack of grocery store competition. But among its peer countries, Canada's very much in the middle of the pack.
