In my latest National Post column I dismiss various criticisms and call Prince Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle a good thing including the amazing progress in race relations it reflects.

In my latest Mercatornet piece I argue that Australians, too, owe their firmly grounded self-government to the long and often violent struggle for liberty throughout the English-speaking world. (On which see also, of course, my documentaries on Magna Carta and the Right to Arms.)

An excellent Mercatornet piece by Margaret Harper McCarthy on how religious freedom must mean far more than the right to indulge certain opinions in private, reprinted from Humanum Review.

"the real difference between man and other animals is that humans alone have perception of good and evil, just and unjust, etc. It is the sharing of a common view in these matters that makes a household and a state."

Aristotle, The Politics p. 60

My latest Looniepolitics column says the surprising defeat of Montreal mayor Denis Coderre should have us paying more attention to Canada's cities.
