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 Loonie Politics column I deplore the modern habit of judging budgets by how much boodle we personally pocketed rather than how well or poorly it safeguarded the national finances, as if our own narrow self-interest were self-evidently the national interest.
On Juno News with Kris Sims I denounce the mendacious and feckless extravagance of the Carney Liberals’ budget.
In my latest National Post column I say too many people focus on federal budget minutiae when the big picture is fatuous, deceitful and dangerous Liberal lack of fiscal discipline.
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.
“I’m constantly amazed that anybody cares what I do.”

In my latest Loonie Politics column I describe Mark Carney’s chronic jetting about blabbing to his fellow Davos Man sophisticates instead of sitting at his desk making hard choices as proof that he really believes words are deeds, especially fancy abstract ones. And as brazenly hypocritical on the dreaded “carbon pollution”.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I say for the Carney administration to resort to transparent budget trickery instead of reining in overspending is a disastrously self-defeating strategy even in PR terms.
