John Robson: NATO Pressure Won’t Stop Canada’s Free-Riding on US Defence Spending
Commentary According to a newspaper, not this one, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attends the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, this week “pressure will be on” to make a meaningful contribution to the alliance.

Commentary New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs has called for a review of LGBTQ policies in schools.
