Before the stars of Heated Rivalry were presenting at the Golden Globes, or posing at Paris Fashion Week, or carrying the Olympic Torch in Milan, the hockey smut sensation existed only as the brainchild of Haligonian Rachel Reid. The result was a six-book series, Game Changers, which Jacob Tierney (whose past credits include hockey classics Shoresy and Letterkenny) has turned into the juggernaut television series. The show, about two rival players turned lovers, “could only be made in Canada,” according to our prime minister, but has found a huge, insatiable audience beyond the country’s borders. Here’s how Heated Rivalry has captured a global imagination and fired up a thousand think pieces—including a few you may not have considered before. All while making Canada a whole lot sexier.

For nearly a year, Canadians have been discussing the danger posed by the United States. The anxiety shows up everywhere—online forums, polling questions, and in the unusually blunt asides from officials. This is good. We need to get in the habit of having hard conversations about who threatens us, the extent of that threat, and what we can and must do if we are to survive as an independent country.
To his credit, Prime Minister Mark Carney has talked openly about some aspects of the changing face of global politics. As the world now knows, he articulately described a “rupture” in world...

OTTAWA — Transportation ministers from across the country will meet quietly this week with an agenda that is expected to include a possible update of the contentious safety rules that govern flights to remote communities.
National Post has learned that the unannounced meeting, to be held Feb. 20 in Vancouver, is expected to address a range of transportation issues, including a proposed “regulatory sandbox” that would mark a fresh attempt to balance competing interests over Canada’s air safety rules. Those rules have been a source of friction and a political football that have been...

Rick Westhead nearly missed one of the most important phone calls of his career.
The investigative journalist was in Europe shooting a documentary for sports broadcaster TSN. As repeated calls came in from an unknown number, he was too busy to answer.
Eventually, he picked up.
The voice on the other end told him he needed to pull a court file in London, Ont. It contained allegations from a woman claiming she was sexually abused. “This will change hockey. It may change our country,” said the whistleblower.
That call led Westhead to a case that all Canadians would come to know...
