On Jan. 12 I was on NewsTalk Sauga 960 to discuss my National Post column on the Pope’s remarks about the selfishness of choosing pets over kids, and the self-absorbed response of some commentators.

In my latest National Post column I lampoon self-centred objections to the Pope calling preferring pets to children selfish.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I suggest the reason Canadians have been docile in the face of harsh and often arbitrary pandemic measures is that we are becoming a nation of sheep who bleat “I am a rebel” in unison because the government told us to.

In my latest National Post column I say the cycle of COVID lockdowns is like a bad remake of Groundhog Day, where no lessons get learned

In my latest National Post column I say that politicians and voters need to make a New Year’s resolution to think about why bad things are happening and how to stop or reduce them instead of just wishing them away.

Included below this fine piece by Terence Corcoran in the Dec. 24 National Post, you’ll find brief recommendations for “Ten essential books on capitalism” including two by me. Blurbs, alas, not books. But it is an honour to recommend both Hazlitt and Friedman.

For the National Post’s “NP Platformed” I wrote about what politicians might contemplate in the light of the Star over Bethlehem… as might we all.

In my contribution to the National Post’s defence of capitalism, I say economic freedom is the victim of its own success, having delivered the promised prosperity but not the freedom from personal responsibility some misguided zealots thought it should, allowing them to rush us along the Road to Serfdom by blaming capitalism for not doing something it never attempted and never should have.
