Each week, the Maclean’s Ottawa bureau sits down with Cormac Mac Sweeney to discuss the headlines of the week. This week, terror in Manchester. Nearly two dozen people in the U.K. were killed this week after a bomb exploded at an Ariana Grande concert. It was a horrendous attack, but should Canada be concerned as we prepare to celebrate Canada150 with large public gatherings around the country? We speak with Stephanie Carvin, a former government security analyst.
The government has launched its competition to eventually award nearly $1 billion to so-called innovation superclusters. University of Toronto professor David Wolfe explains the supercluster concept, as well as the economic impact they could have.
This weekend, federal Conservatives choose a new path forward with a new leader. The leadership race has been a soul-searching moment for the Tories as they prepare for the challenges the party faces ahead of the 2019 election. Here to look back at the campaign, and tell us what it has meant for his party, is Conservative strategist Jason Lietaer.
And finally, the Prime Minister made another social media splash this week thanks to a picture of him running behind a group of high-school students who seemed oblivious to who he was. But Maclean’s associate editor Aaron Hutchins has written a piece arguing no on should be calling it a photobomb. He explains why he’s upset with the faux photobomb.
