On June 22 I was on Global News Radio 640 to discuss China’s push to investigate Canada for human rights violations, and the Prime Minister’s surprising but largely commendable pushback.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say if we cancel Canada Day, and Canada, because we can’t see that an open society that admits mistakes beats the alternatives hollow, we’ll learn it the hard way.
“The Declaration of the Rights of Man at the end of the eighteenth century was a turning point in history. It meant nothing more nor less than that from then on Man, and not God’s command or the customs of history, should be the source of Law.”
Hannah Arendt The Origins of Totalitarianism
On the Crown & Crozier podcast I discuss Magna Carta, church, state and you.
On Wednesday I was on Alex Pierson’s show on Global News Radio 640, along with John Mraz, to discuss relief payments and job markets, COVID quarantine hotels, the notwithstanding clause and campaign finance, and more. A lively debate and fun was had by all.
