In my latest National Post column I say that given how horrified we are at the foolish things politicians do, including on defence procurement, we should pay more attention to the foolish way they think.

In my latest National Post column I say what should be solid in Canadian government, like our Charter rights, is generally blown away while what is vapid, like the Liberal-NDP deal, lands with a thud.

In my latest National Post column I say it’s important to stand up for ourselves and our values over Ukraine without blundering, or sauntering, into a nuclear war… and if you think it’s hard, congratulations, you’re a grownup who realizes reality is tricky.

In my latest National Post “Platformed” newsletter I say it’s absurd, especially now, for Canadian pundits to be fussing over the possible tactical positioning of Jean Charest for a possible Tory leadership run instead of asking him what he actually thinks about the issues and his underlying philosophy, for instance about national defence.
