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 say much of the left was caught offside on Hamas because ideas have consequences and they have embraced ones that lead to terrible places.

In my latest Epoch Times column I say the latest attack on Israel exposes Hamas starkly as an offence against man and God … along with anyone that supports or excuses it, Islamic Jihad or any such genocidal antisemitic organization or government.
