In my latest Epoch Times column, I ask that people apply their vaunted “evidence-based decision-making” to the claim that there are hundreds of unmarked graves of aboriginal kids killed in residential schools in cruel or callous ways or stop making it.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say Canada’s Environment Minister serving as an official advisor to the Chinese communists on climate shows what a “useful idiot” looks like… except I’m not sure he’s very useful.
In my latest Epoch Times column I ask politicians, activists and citizens to think of something, anything, that governments in Canada should just stop doing, or trying to, because it’s not a legitimate state function or because they’re too overloaded just now to tackle that thing as well.

“there is scarcely anything that could offend me in modern England which is not far more offensive in modern Germany. It is there that these things have had their real success; it is there that they will have their real failure. You may say that Germany leads the modern world. You may, if you like, say that Germany is the modern world. But, if that be so, what is called the modern world is, amid general rejoicings, coming to an end. With all its mirthless cynicism, with all its unmanly militarism, with its sham science and shifty diplomacy, with its excuses for the powerful and its routine for the poor, with its long words of explanation and its very short cuts in conduct, with all its care of the self, and all its carelessness of the soul, what some call the Modern Spirit is cast out of heaven like Lucifer, Son of the Morning. It is cut down to the earth, that did weaken the nations.”
