In my latest National Post column I urge social democrats to talk to real people about real things, and listen to them. Things like that government isn't working very well.
If you're wondering, yes, the digital elves did something weird to my National Post column today, inserting three paragraphs of a news sidebar as though they were part of my copy (grafs 4-6, from "The Liberal government plans to request..." down to "Read more..."). The online version is correct.

In my latest National Post column I say don't let the government wear us down so we accept military procurement that takes forever to buy almost nothing.

In my latest National Post column I suggest that punk rockers and other postmoderns hate and love big government because we've done the Nietzche transvaluation thing.
