In my latest National Post column I say the outrageous way the Chinese government speaks about the outrageous things it does is a red flag about the outrageous way it thinks.
“In their political arrangements, men have no right to put the well-being of the present generation wholly out of the question. Perhaps the only moral trust with any certainty in our hands is the care of our own time. With regard to futurity, we are to treat it like a ward. We are not so to attempt an improvement of his fortune as to put the capital of his estate at risk.”
Edmund Burke An Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs
In my latest Loonie Politics column I ask everyone to keep calm and rely on evidence rather than partisan passion in determining whether there were any significant ballot box shenanigans in the United States. It is as absurd to call fraud impossible a priori if you won as to call it necessary a priori if you lost, and the winners have at least as big a stake as the losers in making sure the vote was clean.
My final appearance on the show so thanks to all who listened, to Anthony for being a great host, and to all those behind the scenes who made it happen.
In my latest Epoch Times column I argue that a real-time parliamentary hearing into the government’s pandemic response is necessary on medical and constitutional grounds… and is actually better for the Liberals, even if some of it is embarrassing, than blundering ahead in darkness.
In the National Post I remember as always those who gave all their tomorrows for my today, and try to treat it as the precious gift that it is.
On The News Forum with Tanya Granic Allen I discussed why we remember on November 11 and what we should remember. (You can also watch it on Facebook here.)
