“The system is broken, and once these judges get into their position, they have this sense of entitlement.... Last time I checked, there hasn’t been any judges elected. Maybe that’s the problem. We should do what the U.S. does. Let’s start electing our judges, holding them accountable.”
Doug Ford in a rare moment of lucidity, quoted in National Post April 30, 2025
In my latest Epoch Times column I say various judicial, academic and activist claims that the Canadian state does not exercise legitimate sovereignty over Canadian territory, including granting valid “fee simple” land titles, are a recipe for confusion, bitterness and disaster.
In my latest Epoch Times column I argue that when our government warns Communist China not to be as evil as us, they’re the ones being divisive. Which should not be controversial but apparently is.
This week on Juno News with Melanie Bennet I discussed my crusade against photo-radar speed tickets as a breach of the social contract and the rule of law.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say our homes used to be our castles and still should be.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say from coast to coast Canada is turning away from trusting the people and abandoning self-government for meddlesome ineffective presumption.

“This growth of arbitrary government in our country is a very real thing. The power of the Censor is a strong example of it, but not necessarily even the strongest. Judicial equity has become more and more a question of the judge and less and less a question of the statute. The very phrase ‘judge-made law’ either means nothing or it means personal despotism. If anyone said ‘King-made law’ we should start. The very importance of the legal mind is an instance; for lawyers necessarily thrive upon the absence of law.”
