In my latest Aristotle Foundation column, published in the Western Standard, I say the embrace of radical DEI ideology by Canada’s military leaders, including a notorious recent issue of Canadian Military Journal, makes sense if you put aside conspiracy theories and recognize that ideas have consequences and people believe their beliefs, including ones you don’t share.

In my latest National Post column I ask people who hate Donald Trump why they can’t talk sensibly about important issues until he barges into the conversation.

In my latest Epoch Times column I condemn the ruinous frivolity of seeking to launch massive new social programs that will fail the same way the existing ones have when we’re already out of money.

In my latest Mercatornet column I ask how Americans reached this dreadful pass and what any of us can do about it.

In my latest Epoch Times column I complain about the ongoing, pervasive pattern in which Canadian courts agree that the state has violated our rights, then say what the heck, probably for the best, go fish.

“Great men are almost always bad men”

Lord Acton (aka John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, 1st Baron Acton of Aldenham) quoted in James C. Holland’s Introduction to the Acton Institute’s 1993 edition of Acton’s The History of Freedom

“There is nothing wrong with old ideas, so long as they are true. And there is nothing admirable about new ones, if they aren’t.”

In my latest Epoch Times column I say the real scandal in our government falsely claiming to be helping the U.S. and Britain against Iranian-backed Islamist pirates isn’t that they’re lying, it’s that they’re deluded.
