In my latest Loonie Politics column I ask how somebody as smart as Bill Morneau can be so idiotic about the nation’s finances.
In my latest National Post column I ponder the gleeful way many people welcome the development of AI that’s better than us at everything, and ask whether at Christmastime in particular we can’t find something to cherish in our fallible, all-too-human fellows and selves.
In my latest Epoch Times column I call the British election more evidence that globalism isn’t working for ordinary people not because of “neoliberalism” but because of a swollen state and chaotic society whose complex rules favour the cosmopolitan elite that designed them.
In my latest National Post column I say it’s high time a parliamentary committee looked into China’s repression and aggression… and our government’s odd blindness to it.
In my latest National Post column I say Britain needs a Tory victory because (a) Corbyn is a loathsome anti-Semite (b) democracy requires you to respect referendum results and (c) self-government requires a functioning parliament, which the UK hasn’t had since 2016.
In BOE Report I argue that even a would-be economically sensible defence of carbon taxes from the Ecofiscal Commission totally misses the key economic point that, because there are no good substitutes for gas, if you raise the price then give the money back in rebates people will use it to afford more expensive gas, and if you don’t give it back they’ll economize on other things to afford more expensive gas.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I deplore the predictable vacuity of the premiers’ gathering in Toronto to ask for… wait for it… more money from the federal government’s magic money try to sustain health care so nobody has to think about fixing it.
