“To have a passing fever, or the smallpox is nothing, but to be oppressed by a feeling of faintness for whole years, to see all one’s relish for things destroyed, to have yet enough life to want to enjoy it but too little strength to do so, to become useless and unbearable to oneself, to die little by little, that is what I have suffered, and what has been more cruel than all my other trials.”

Voltaire, quoted in Cleveland Bruce Chase The Young Voltaire [in his first letter on returning to France from a youthful trip to England where he learned much but found the climate horrible]

In my latest National Post column I say the best way to get universities to stop promoting malevolent radicalism and start teaching again, and to promote actual social justice as well, is to privatize them and see what kind of education the young adults who will supposedly benefit from it are actually willing to pay full price for.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I ask how people can continue to believe in the competence, wisdom and compassion of government when they have daily evidence of its inept and callous folly.

In my latest National Post column I ridicule the notion that Canada must bring in half a million immigrants a year to build homes for the half-million immigrants we bring in a year to build homes for all the immigrants.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I berate Canadian “conservative” politicians for being as clueless about how to avoid wedge issues as they are spineless about how to approach them.

“unlike traditional commodities, which sometimes during the course of their market exchange must be delivered to someone in physical form, the carbon market is based on the lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no one.”

Mark Schapiro (apparently) in Harper’s in early 2010 [I found it here https://www.integrity-research.com/wanted-independent-research-to-assess-carbon-offsets/ but the link back to Harper’s is broken, as is a similar link in another piece quoting it; perhaps Harper’s pulled it; this piece attributes it to Mark Schapiro: https://www.reddeeradvocate.com/columns/air-travel-major-contributor-to-climate-change/].
