In my latest National Post commentary I underline the constitutional crisis of judges becoming legislators.
In my latest column for the National Post I argue that Trudeau manhandling MPs was not just rudeness to colleagues. It was an assault by the executive branch on the legislature and, therefore, on Canadian citizens, who elect MPs to control the government on their behalf. One more reason we urgently need to fix our Constitution. Please back our documentary project and help us show the way.
In my latest National Post commentary I praise the New Brunswick court ruling that our Constitution (S. 121) does indeed clearly expressly ban interprovincial trade barriers. It’s high time someone did something about them, and shameful that the New Brunswick cabinet apparently intend to continue riding roughshod over the rule of law and their citizens. See also the paper I had the privilege of co-authoring for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in 2010, along with its Executive Director Brian Lee Crowley and the late Robert Knox, a veteran of efforts to free up interprovincial trade, arguing for striking down all internal protectionism in goods, services and trades on exactly those grounds. It looks as if it’s finally going to happen.
In my latest column for the National Post I argue that we all know on fundamental things we vote by simple majority, Ayes v Nays. Including electing MPs and absolutely including changing how we vote. Otherwise our constitutional order has no legitimacy.
In my latest National Post commentary I say in endorsing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples the Trudeau Liberals appear to be trying to strike a cynically empty posture… and failing.
In my latest National Post commentary I say the Liberal plan to study Canada Post is a feeble dodge to get them out of a foolish campaign promise.
In my latest National Post commentary I argue that dividing the right in Alberta might be the best way to unite it.
In my latest National Post column I object to the peremptory manner in which the census demands personal information on behalf of social engineers whose capacities I seriously question.
