In my latest National Post column I say while politicians often hurt us by mistake, they boasted repeatedly that they would make gas unaffordable. So how’s it working for you?

In my latest National Post column I ask whether Canadians will yet again excuse a pathetic performance by an elite institution because we are snobs.

In my latest Epoch Times column I say inflation isn’t a conspiracy run out of Davos and the conservatives don’t have a hidden agenda and climate skeptics aren’t in the pay of Big Oil and nobody can be bothered plotting against you nor could they if they tried because the people in power are just as muddled as they appear to be.

In my latest National Post column I say what should be solid in Canadian government, like our Charter rights, is generally blown away while what is vapid, like the Liberal-NDP deal, lands with a thud.

In my latest Epoch Times column I challenge would-be federal Conservative leaders Jean Charest and Patrick Brown in particular to show that they stand for something beside office, on practical and moral grounds.
