In my latest Epoch Times column I use Neil Winokur’s book The Grumpy Accountant to lament that Canada’s tax system has been outrageously and needlessly complicated and harsh for many decades. Why do we let them do it to us?

In my latest Epoch Times column I remember, with some difficulty, that even a really annoying and disappointing election is a victory every time we vote freely and without fear.

In my latest Epoch Times column I say the big issue in this Canadian federal election is that the political business-as-usual of hypocrisy and profligacy is not good enough.

In my latest Epoch Times column I say our constitution has deteriorated so far into populism that elections are no longer about issues, only who gets unchecked power until the next vote.

In my latest Epoch Times column I say the difficulty people have condemning calls for churches to burn is a worrying sign of our rapid descent into a vindictive and pitiless neopagan mindset.

In my latest Epoch Times column I point out that despite all the inane rhetoric about keeping out private health care as intolerable and un-Canadian, our system depends on it to function while doing its inept best to suppress it.
