  • Is the income coming in from Alberta oil the main factor preventing populism from seeing an upsurge in Canada? The National Post reports.

  • Michelle Adelman at NOW Toronto notes the threat that the new Bill 66 poses to the Ontario Greenbelt and local agricultural production.

  • NPR takes a look at the CBC sitcom Kim's Convenience, entering its third season.

  • Paul Wells at MacLean's looks at how the advice lent by old China experts to the Canadian government over the Huawei crisis cannot work now.

  • Terry Glavin argues at MacLean's that the left, in Canada and elsewhere, is becoming indistinguishable from the populist right for want of a coherent message.
