In my latest Epoch Times column I say the big issue with making Mélanie Joly Canada’s new Minister of Foreign Affairs isn’t that she lacks relevant experience or gravitas, it’s that it doesn’t matter.
In my latest National Post column I say thinking you’ll win the drug war by eliminating one major dealer is like thinking you’ll get people to stop eating by closing their current grocery store.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I say the inflation currently breaking out because we printed too much money and produced too little wealth is a classic case of Hemingway’s line about going broke two ways.
