“All serious political and moral philosophy, and thus any serious social inquiry, must begin with an understanding of human nature. Though society and its institutions shape man, man’s nature sets limits on the kinds of societies we can have. Cicero said that the nature of law must be founded on the nature of man (a natura hominis discenda est natura juris).”

In my latest post for the National Post I say if you’re worse at math than Donald Trump you should watch the condescending tone.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I say every time a political lie is cut off, including that it was the Clerk of the Privy Council who independently decided to stop the RCMP from seeing key SNC-Lavalin scandal documents, two more sprout in its place unless we scorch the stump.
