“This is hilarious. Anti-Israel whack jobs shut down Ottawa’s Pride Parade… that’s not the hilarious part (tho it’s fun to watch intersectional rock paper scissors)…the hilarious part is @globeandmail headline: ‘Pride parade cancelled after *coinciding* with pro-Palestine rally’”

“The division now is between those who want Western Civilization to continue and those who don’t... this is the moment when the West will either pull itself together or go over the edge of the cultural cliff.”
Melanie Phillips in The Builder’s Stone: How Jews and Christians Built the West – and Why Only They Can Save It, quoted by Chuck Chalberg reviewing the book in Gilbert: The Magazine of the Society of G.K. Chesterton Vol. 28 #6 (July/August 2025)
“To paraphrase Japanese Emperor Hirohito after the detonation of two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945, in the light of this week’s events, it is time for the ‘unthinkable.’ (The Japanese emperor acknowledged that the war had not gone ‘entirely as we had hoped.’)”

In my latest National Post column I say while it's necessary to denounce antisemitism, it's not sufficient. We must understand why and how this uniquely stubborn and wicked form of hatred spreads like a fungus, causing rot in all kinds of places including elite institutions.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I say since nuclear weapons are a crucial feature of geopolitics including the structure of deterrence that has prevented major wars for three-quarters of a century, it’s asinine or worse to be against making sure they work the way we expect them to.
In my latest Epoch Times column I argue that you have to understand why Canada, the UK, Australia and France recognized a non-existent Palestinian state to grasp just what a disastrous decision it was.
In my latest appearance on Rebel News I discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to embrace evil in the Middle East with Ezra Levant.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I say Mark Carney’s decision to side with Hamas was a classic example of political rhetoric that was meaningless, dishonest and sinister at once.
