In my latest Epoch Times column I say surprising allies in the fight against bloated government could be the large number of people who find working in it miserable despite the pay and perks.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I say Justin Trudeau having the guy who was head of the Trudeau Foundation when it got a suspicious Chinese donation write a report exonerating Justin Trudeau over suspicious Chinese donations is a flagrant as well as a silly gesture of contempt for Canadians.
“Here we get closer still to the heart of the great human mystery. Nothing has been learned.

In my latest Epoch Times column I say the Prime Minister is blithely uninterested in Communist subversion while bitterly opposed to domestic dissent.

“Fear cures anxiety… Real Schmerz trumps Weltschmerz. If you have had enough to drink.”

“Again, the new oligarchy must more and more base its claim to plan us on its claim to knowledge. If we are to be mothered, mother must know best. This means they must increasingly rely on the advice of scientists, till in the end the politicians proper become merely the scientists’ puppets. Technocracy is the form to which a planned society must tend. Now I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside their special subjects. Let scientists tell us about sciences. But government involves questions about the good for man, and justice, and what things are worth having at what price; and on these a scientific training gives a man’s opinion no added value.”
