In my latest Epoch Times column I ask what this fabled “Major Projects Office” is even for, if the Prime Minister graciously anoints certain projects, we peasants know not how or why, before sending them to the MPO which has no legal capacity to sweep aside, for His Majesty’s favourites, the laws and regulations that make all other projects impossible.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say Canadians have prepared for the government to borrow itself and us into insolvency by borrowing to the brink of bankruptcy themselves, while electing politicians as insouciant about debt as they are.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say we won’t put out the fire in the public accounts until we agree on how much borrowing is sustainable and how much is not without first checking to see if it was their team or ours that did it.
In my latest National Post column I say the routinely grandiose rhetoric emanating from Prime Minister Mark Carney is a warning sign about the routinely grandiose way he thinks.
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.
In my latest Epoch Times column I ridicule the government for thinking the solution to the taxman riding roughshod over citizens’ rights is to get him bigger boots.
“Indeed, I think it [the turn to autocracy or worse because of the failings of democracy especially under “the Party System”] is part of the one big blunder that is at the back of all our blunders. It is hard to put it shortly, except by calling it the blunder of being Practical. Perhaps the nearest word is Opportunism; but it is not the sane opportunism that takes all opportunities to advance a great thing; it is the nervy and panicky opportunism that accepts all the small things because they have more opportunities. It is this yielding to the apparently practical that has ruined everything.”
