In my latest Epoch Times column I argue that to fix Canada’s nearly terminal military woes, we need to start from scratch conceptually by listing what we need and what it will cost, not try to get there incrementally from the mess we’re in while letting current budget practices and other practical difficulties stop us before we start.

In my latest Epoch Times column I say Canada has a pressing problem with letting jihadis into the country… and it’s that those in charge don’t see any problem with it.

In my latest Epoch Times column I argue that optimism is a psychological condition and generally fatuous, while hope is a theological virtue, in public affairs as in life more generally.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I say what’s really scary about the multiple failed security screenings of the Eldidis is the evasive smugness with which politicians and bureaucrats defend their obviously dismal performance.

In my latest Epoch Times column I remind people of Milton Friedman’s key insight that the real burden of government is what it spends, not the various devices from taxation to borrowing to printing money that it uses to fund, and often conceal this scope of, its activities and ambitions.
