In my latest Epoch Times column I ask why even the politicians ferociously opposed to the carbon tax start by insisting that it’s necessary instead of challenging the pseudoscience behind global warming alarmism.
“He will not go far who knows from the first where he is going.”
Napoleon at the beginning of his career, according to George Gilder Wealth and Poverty [though actually Napoleon’s career rather gives me the impression of frantic energy without sensible goals].
In my latest National Post column I argue that the lethal yet ludicrous overconfidence of Hamas and its Canadian supporters is rooted in their reading of the Qu’ran.
In my latest Epoch Times column, I say Justin Trudeau is half-right that his job is not to be popular.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I complain that voters throughout Canada and the Western world are not just letting politicians give up on fiscal prudence, they’re indifferent to our plunge toward insolvency.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say chronic overuse of pharmaceuticals, including on kids, proves that our modern materialistic approach to human fulfilment has failed not that it has succeeded.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say the key issue in the next Canadian federal election has to be: “How can we become a reliable security partner for our Western allies?”
“It bears repeating over and over that, when we talk about freedom, we are not talking about the right to do whatever we want, when we want, where we want, how we want, with whomever we want. And that's not the freedom that the original author of our national anthem, writing in 1880, would have had in mind either. Unfortunately, this is what many in our culture understand freedom to mean. But the ‘I get to do whatever I want’ type of freedom is no freedom at all, but rather slavery to our passions. (John 8:34-36 Rom. 6, 1 Peter 2:16 2 Peter 2:19). It describes radical personal autonomy, which isn't at all what the Bible describes. Look at the 10 commandments, for example. Does God say, ‘I am the LORD your God, who set you free from slavery. Now live as you please! Let every man do as he sees fit!’ Certainly not. If God said that, the nation of Israel would descend into chaos. But neither does God say, ‘I am the LORD your God, who set you free from slavery. Now, live under the crushing weight and drudgery of my law.’ No, God has set us free, and then He gives us the code by which freed people can live together and flourish!”
