In my latest National Post column I say the outrageous way the Chinese government speaks about the outrageous things it does is a red flag about the outrageous way it thinks.

“In their political arrangements, men have no right to put the well-being of the present generation wholly out of the question. Perhaps the only moral trust with any certainty in our hands is the care of our own time. With regard to futurity, we are to treat it like a ward. We are not so to attempt an improvement of his fortune as to put the capital of his estate at risk.”

Edmund Burke An Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs

In my latest National Post column I say the federal fiscal update didn’t misrepresent reality, it abandoned it entirely.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I say the government’s inability to produce a COVID vaccine is just one sign of a plague of public sector ineptitude driven by ignorance of economics, utopian expectations and mental softness on our part as well as theirs that is far more dangerous than the coronavirus.

In the Epoch Times I argue that Justin Trudeau’s Canada Agenda 2030 isn’t part of some vast shadowy Great Reset plot, just a set of trendy progressive notions whose sweeping cosmic ambitions will succumb to their own vagueness and his chronic managerial incompetence.

In my latest National Post column, I use Fred Litwin’s new book On the Trail of Delusion about Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories to warn of the danger even of the amazingly common garden variety notion that people who disagree with us about public policy must be hiding their real goals.

In my latest National Post column I argue that the surge in opioid overdose deaths alone since March proves that in weighing the benefits of pandemic lockdowns, science and economics alike demand that we also count the very real human costs.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I ask everyone to keep calm and rely on evidence rather than partisan passion in determining whether there were any significant ballot box shenanigans in the United States. It is as absurd to call fraud impossible a priori if you won as to call it necessary a priori if you lost, and the winners have at least as big a stake as the losers in making sure the vote was clean.
