In today's National Post Terry Glavin has another excellent piece on Canada's troubling relationship with China. He's not only very clear on the sinister nature of the government in Beijing and the aggressive style as well as content of its foreign policy. He's also one of the few commentators I know who understands that we are cozying up to an "increasingly decrepit" as well as "belligerent Chinese police state". It is remarkable how wrong the conventional wisdom is about the nature and dynamism of this regime. And Terry is much to be commended for seeing through it.
In my latest National Post commentary I say that we must not become used to the government taking forever to buy the wrong military hardware.
In my latest National Post column I answer Ilya Somin’s challenge whether to vote for Queen Cersei to defeat Sauron… by writing in Gandalf. No, really.
In my latest National Post commentary I give guarded praise to the Liberals’ more open Supreme Court appointment process. But we still need to see it in operation and it won’t really be right until MPs get to vote on the nomination.
In my latest National Post column, I say that if power can corrupt the people at StatsCan it can corrupt anybody.
In my latest National Post column I express total exasperation with the sort of political correctness surrounding terrorism and crime that’s driving otherwise reasonable people to back Donald Trump.
In my latest National Post commentary I say it’s nice that the premiers have again promised to remove the internal trade barriers they themselves put in place. But (as Brian Lee Crowley, Robert Knox and I argued six years ago) the feds have the legal and moral authority to compel them if they don’t follow through, and should make clear that they will.
In my latest National Post column I say the state of the CPP is proof that we have been very foolish to let foxes guard the henhouse in Canada.
