In my latest National Post column I warn Canada’s Conservative party that, given Western alienation, any cunning plan to put their 2019 defeat behind them by picking an eastern Red Tory leader would be partisan folly dangerous to national unity.

In my latest Epoch Times column I say if the feds really listen to Western complaints about big bad government, it won’t just help national unity, it will help the East.

In my latest National Post column I say the amber alert mishap over Pickering nuclear station is one more warning we shouldn’t need of why government is smugly inept.

In my other speech to the Augustine College Summer Seminar in June, and again I apologize for the delay in getting it edited and posted, I talked about what classical Greece and Rome got right about political freedom and what they did not, how medieval England completed the picture with Magna Carta to limit government in theory and parliament to limit it in practice, and how and why things went wrong in the modern world.

Here’s a video from the past. It’s a talk I gave at the Augustine College Summer Seminar in June 2019 so I’m tardy making it available. And it’s about the Middle Ages which were, far too many people think, necessarily awful because they were long ago and old is bad and new is good. In fact there are a great many modern horrors that would have appalled people in the Middle Ages and one of them is widespread ignorance about the period.

Sorry to take so long to get around to editing and posting it. Life got in the way.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I argue that there is no “international law” in matters like drone strikes on terrorists because there are no international police, no international courts with legitimate jurisdiction, no real international statutes and no international jails.
