"What happens in your house is more important than what happens in the White House."

Barbara Bush, quoted in Charles C. Heath The Blessings of Liberty

If you're in the Ottawa area and think true gender equality means compassion and services for men and boys as well as women and girls, please attend the Canadian Centre for Men and Families - Ottawa gala luncheon two weeks this Sunday, on September 16 from 1-4. Tickets are available here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ccmf-ottawa-gala-lunch-fundraiser-tickets-48985700549 and if you think it's worthwhile please help share it on social media and with friends and family.

Thanks, and I hope to see you there.

In my latest National Post column I worry about Boris Johnson being threatened with a "diversity course" to make him like the burka.

The Canadian Centre for Men and Families - Ottawa Gala Luncheon is now set for Sept. 16 at 1 p.m. with a great lineup of speakers and an auction.

The CCMF-O, a hub for the health and well-being of boys, men, fathers and families, needs your contribution to continue providing services, including referral, to men and boys in difficulty or in crisis in Ottawa.

I hope to see you there: tickets are available here.

"Our magazine’s habit of pointing this out [that the elite’s myths about Canada are not actually true], and of stubbornly remembering times when things made more sense, causes our critics to say we’re stuck in the past. I can only reply that they are stuck in the present – in most respects a singularly dismal and confining place to be. It’s like having cultural Alzheimer’s."
