On Monday I spoke to the Royal Canadian Military Institute about a number of surprises regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, some of which should not have been surprising.
In my latest Epoch Times column I contrast our supposed new strategy for dealing with Communist China’s aggression with the iconic American Cold War strategy document NSC-68 and ours comes off looking mentally, verbally and morally feeble.
In my latest Mercatornet column I ask what history has to say about the possibility of the United States breaking apart, and find the answer troubling.
In my latest National Post column I praise the retired general who blasted woke culture in front of Canada’s elite, and the serving officers who dared applaud him.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say the world tour for which our Prime Minister skipped Remembrance Day is, like everything he does, all about him.
“‘It was the nation,’ Churchill would afterwards demur, ‘that had the lion’s heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.’…. In addition to giving the lion voice, he allowed he might have ‘sometimes suggested to the lion the right place to use his claws.’”

In my latest Epoch Times column I lament our Prime Minister’s inability to take Communist Chinese aggression seriously.
“There is also, just for the record, the cold comfort of knowing that all empires crumble when hubris and militarism alienate even their closest allies, distant wars entangle them in bloody conflicts, and popular leaders are exposed as self-serving frauds. I’m not saying this is especially good news, just that it is history’s lesson.”
