Jesse Brown of Canadaland just posted an interview with me about The Rebel, Charlottesville and the state of public debate more generally. He and I certainly don't see eye to eye on a lot of things so I appreciate the opportunity to have a civil discussion about our disagreements instead of the sort of shouting match that too often erupts nowadays.
With regret I have decided no longer to contribute my “It Happened Today” pieces to Rebel Media.
I very much appreciate what Ezra Levant and others in the organization have done to challenge conventional wisdom and defy political correctness and am grateful for the opportunity to be part of it. But I now find the tone too unconstructive and think The Rebel has drifted too far from its mission of covering the news from a refreshing perspective.
If you enjoy the “It Happened Today” feature please contribute on my website if you are not already a backer and we will continue to publish them.
In my latest Rebel piece I argue that sometimes, winning second-prize in a beauty contest is a pretty darn impressive feat.
