In my latest Epoch Times column I say Justin Trudeau accusing India of carrying out a “hit” in Canada needs to be backed by evidence the public is allowed to see rather than his usual hyperbolic petulance.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I say the Peel District School Board purging all books written before 2008 is a worrying red flag about what’s happening in government schools… and I do mean red.
In my latest Epoch Times column I argue that trust is decaying fast in our society, because trustworthiness is succumbing to self-actualization, with dangerous consequences from politics to concerts.

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 a straight road which runs from Runnymede to Philadelphia. We did not ‘borrow’ provisions from the British Constitution, which had come from the people; those provisions were ours, paid for with the lives of our ancestors on many a battlefield.
