In my latest Loonie Politics column I advocate thinking about things you don’t want to think about, from Putin’s motives to Xi Jinping’s ideology to James Burnham’s warning about the “Suicide of the West”.

In my latest National Post “Platformed” newsletter I say it’s absurd, especially now, for Canadian pundits to be fussing over the possible tactical positioning of Jean Charest for a possible Tory leadership run instead of asking him what he actually thinks about the issues and his underlying philosophy, for instance about national defence.

In my latest National Post column I say that if climate-panic-driven energy policy helped create frightening geopolitical vulnerability, any adults in the room should reconsider not just irrational opposition to nuclear energy but whether there’s really a man-made global warming crisis at all.

In my latest Epoch Times column I ask whether the shock of Russia invading Ukraine, and the mostly commendable Western response, will make Canadians and their governments more serious about defence spending and therefore about budgeting generally.

In my latest Epoch Times column, I say the plan to help Ukraine fight off Russian aggression by striking a committee to ponder helping fund an ammunition factory someday is a classically feeble Canadian government response to a real-world problem.
