How to know when media are ‘sanewashing’ politics

It’s time we stopped the embarrassed and awkward bystanding when politicians blather nonsense and conspiracies.

An authoritarian hurricane approaches. Can democracy stop it?

OpinionBY ROSE LEMAY
  • All the signs are there for the rise of fascism. The angst is that we see it coming like a hurricane. The question remaining is if politics is the actor to stop it.

Sec. 35 acknowledges Indigenous Peoples were here first, have rights that nobody can erase, and—this is where things get a bit fuzzy—what are those rights? But let’s skip right over that because courts across Canada are debating the innards of this box of rights, writes Rose LeMay.

OpinionBY ROSE LEMAY
  • Indigenous rights are for Indigenous Peoples.

When Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, left, called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 'wacko' for a policy position last week, it went beyond expectations of professionalism. Poilievre exhibited childish behaviour which doesn’t meet anybody’s metrics for leadership. But Trudeau doesn't get a free pass, either, writes Rose LeMay. The Hill Times photographs by Andrew Meade

Bring back civility and morality to the House before it’s gone

OpinionBY ROSE LEMAY
  • Last week's disgraceful incident in the House should have all federal elected officials hanging their heads in shame. Just how did you let it get to this?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a Families of Sisters in Spirit vigil on Parliament Hill in 2017. Meanwhile, the Danger Cats, a so-called comedy troop whose shows have been cancelled across Canada, makes fun of the Pickton murders. It’s disgusting to make fun of the real risks to Indigenous women, writes Rose LeMay. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade

It’s not comedy to make money off a mass murderer

OpinionBY ROSE LEMAY
  • Jokes about murderers and the real risks to Indigenous women is not comedy, it’s monetized hate speech.

The recognition for the most impactful work for Indigenous Peoples goes to Cindy Blackstock, pictured at the UNIFOR convention in Ottawa on Aug. 24, 2016. Nobody comes close to the level of impact that she has made for Indigenous kids in 2023, writes Rose LeMay.

The year 2023: reconciliation in review

OpinionBY ROSE LEMAY
  • Perhaps 2024 will be the year that federal departments are forced to report on reconciliation measures, not just empty commitments and intentions. To paraphrase Cindy Blackstock: do the real work so you don’t have to apologize or pay out the settlements yet again.
