My National Post column argues that short-term optimism and long-run pessimism make China's geopolitical ambitions acutely dangerous.
Barack Obama has his "historic" nuclear deal with Iran. But what's it actually for? I ask in my latest National Post column.
In today’s National Post Tristin Hopper wrote pointedly about the inferior facilities and tours at Canada’s magnificent Vimy Ridge site. He’s right. In fact, in France last April filming a documentary on World War One, I was provoked to record an irritated segment about our feeble official remembrance even compared to some modestly funded French and Belgian museums. I put it aside during the editing process because the documentary was about the war’s importance to liberty and Western civilization, not my irritation with official Canada’s passion for the bronze. But I’m posting it now because we can and should do better for those who died for our freedom.

In my latest National Post column I argue that Asteroid Day is one trendy cause worth embracing... while we still can.
In my latest National Post column I ask why a person can change their gender but not their race.
In my latest National Post column I argue for trying the best imaginable government welfare system, the Negative Income Tax, in order to learn the bitter lesson that government welfare doesn't fail when money doesn't reach the intended beneficiaries but when it does reach them.
My latest National Post column takes aim at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for buying into a false historical account that undermines its otherwise commendable effort to get from truth to reconciliation. My criticisms of unrealism in aboriginal policy have opened me to predictable accusations of bigotry. But the reverse is true. Nowhere is frank talk more desperately needed because nowhere in Canada is policy a worse mess and it is aboriginals who suffer most even from well-meaning nonsense.
In my latest National Post column, I tell the government waiter I didn't order this patronizing rubbish.
