In my latest National Post column (filed before the invasion of Ukraine) I mock the government for encouraging us to switch providers to get lower prices and better service through the magic of competition, while subjecting vast swaths of the economy and our lives to its monopoly control
In my latest National Post column, while acknowledging the world-historic greatness of Justin Trudeau now that he has emergency powers, I ask whether our governments’ manifest incapacity to do even simple things including fixing health care derives from having long ago substituted make-believe for serious thought.
In my latest National Post column I ask how I, of all people, could be a lonely voice of balanced reason on the truckers’ protests.
In my latest NP Platformed newsletter I say Whoopi Goldberg’s racially insensitive and obtuse comments on the Holocaust might actually help us move back toward sanity on race, and on cancel culture as well.
In my latest National Post column I say the only reason Erin O’Toole’s leadership isn’t over is that it never started.
In my latest National Post column I say Trudeau’s mean-spirited, partisan remarks about the truckers’ convoy reflect a chronically divisive approach at a time when Canadians need a respectful exchange of ideas not a surly exchange of insults.

In my latest National Post column I say the reason official Ottawa is so inert in the face of rising inflation, beyond the usual smugness, is that if interest rates go up public borrowing will become unsustainable. (As in the US, where it’s beyond the more general issue of rage rather than Canadian-style complacency paralyzing debate.)
