In my latest Epoch Times column I urge candidates in the upcoming federal election, between bouts of mud-slinging, to take a firm stand on things government cannot do, should not do or both.
In my latest Loonie Politics column, and just in time for him to become the butt of endless memes over his absurdly inflated biographical claims, I ask how Mark Carney could be seen as the Liberal party’s saviour then turn out to be so preposterously awful a candidate.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say that now that Trump has somehow forced our chattering classes to realize we should promote prosperity and resilience through markets not impoverish and divide ourselves with trendy schemes for yet more state intervention, the easy first steps are sweeping away interprovincial trade barriers, agricultural marketing schemes and protectionism in the banking, airline and telecommunications sector, and radically simplifying the tax code.

In my latest National Post column I observe that Chrystia Freeland shouldn’t be praised for quitting on principle, she was fired and then faked it.
