In my latest Epoch Times column I write the speech I wait to hear from those who would be Conservative party leader and Canadian prime minister in these trying times.
“He never told the truth when a lie would serve”.
Douglas MacArthur on FDR, quoted in Chronicles magazine September 1993
In my latest National Post column I say it’s important to stand up for ourselves and our values over Ukraine without blundering, or sauntering, into a nuclear war… and if you think it’s hard, congratulations, you’re a grownup who realizes reality is tricky.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say a small news item about overfishing squid actually speaks volumes about what’s wrong with the world today and with how we think about it, especially government.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I advocate thinking about things you don’t want to think about, from Putin’s motives to Xi Jinping’s ideology to James Burnham’s warning about the “Suicide of the West”.
In my latest National Post “Platformed” newsletter I say it’s absurd, especially now, for Canadian pundits to be fussing over the possible tactical positioning of Jean Charest for a possible Tory leadership run instead of asking him what he actually thinks about the issues and his underlying philosophy, for instance about national defence.
“What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the d***ed fools said would happen has come to pass.”
Lord Melbourne, quoted in British Columbia Report November 18, 1996.
In my latest National Post column I say that if climate-panic-driven energy policy helped create frightening geopolitical vulnerability, any adults in the room should reconsider not just irrational opposition to nuclear energy but whether there’s really a man-made global warming crisis at all.
