Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Tues. April 21st, 2026

IMAGINE THE AMERICAN federal government goes rogue amid an unprecedented drought, disregards all laws and agreements on paper—and sticks a very large drinking straw into Lake Ontario from its southern shore in New York State. How would it all play out? If the threat is backed by military force, Canada will likely find our water laws suddenly moot—relics from a time before Trump 2.0 sidestepped a global rules-based order and pursued self-interest with impunity. Guerilla-styled sabotage of water pipelines by the Canadian military or regular citizens would become the only option for...

The Walrus congratulates journalist Jordan Michael Smith on being awarded the Michener–Deacon Fellowship for Investigative Journalism for his forthcoming project, “The Hague Mothers.” The Walrus will publish the results of Smith’s investigation later this year. Smith’s reporting will examine a troubling loophole in the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction that can lead to children being returned to potentially abusive parents, even when documented risks exist. The investigation will focus on the case of Thuy Nguyen, a Canadian woman whose children were...
