In my latest National Post column I argue that instead of limiting what Canadians can give to politicians we need to limit what they can give to us.

In my latest National Post commentary I say the federal Liberals will regret deliberately turning from a party into a movement instead of the other way around.

In my latest National Post column, I argue that the left has won smashing victories lately… but with more smashing than victory about them.

In my latest National Post commentary I argue that superficially attractive Liberal commitment to “responsible conviction” in foreign policy may well mean nothing… as usual.

In my latest commentary for the National Post I argue that, despite very legitimate concerns about government snooping and online security, the police do have the right to tech firms’ help getting into a suspects’ devices if they have a warrant.

My colleague Kelly McParland writes perceptively that Prime Minister Trudeau's new Senate appointments have attracted less notice than they should have. I should confess first that I was once again not on the list and second that Kelly quotes me approvingly in the piece that the list is so predictable "it might have been selected by an affirmative action random-elite-candidate-generator.". And now I want to return the favour by quoting him approvingly.

"Would it have been too much to include just one new senator who doesn’t see government as the answer to every problem? An entrepreneur? Someone who’s been required to meet a payroll or risked their own money on an idea?"

Apparently it would. Which is why we need to fix the constitution including creating a Senate that is truly legitimate because it is elected, is independent of the Prime Minister and yet effective, and represents the provinces without paralyzing Parliament.

Yes it can be done. Australia does it. And in our upcoming documentary we'll give a lot more detail on how to make it work. Including why it's especially troubling to see former senior public servants become legislators. The fusion of the upper reaches of the public service and the legislature into a fourth branch unknown to constitutional theory is not good for our democracy.

In my latest commentary for the National Post I argue that the EU-Turkey “deal” on Syrian migrants proves yet again that once you have paid him the Dane-geld, you will never be rid of the Dane.

In my latest National Post column I admit that Trump’s triumph seems to indicate an America in decay … possibly due to the disintegrating family.
