In my latest Epoch Times column I say the arrogance behind the Prime Minister’s sneering refusal to admit he’s the one who stayed in that $6k/night London hotel suite is a major problem in Canadian public affairs.
In this mid-October Loonie Politics column (which I apparently forgot to post at the time, sorry) I argue that the huge list of caucus critics unveiled by Pierre Poilievre is absurd in an ominous way, reflecting and contributing to the absorption of the legislature by the executive.

Indeed, how can any ‘rigorous’ theory account for Britain’s being an island, a fact that has certainly contributed most importantly to the world’s social and political development.
