My new podcast "Reality University" is now available. It offers a weekly look at the big questions that affect our common life and the key ideas (and books) that help us understand the world around us.
Please drop by and audit a few classes and consider signing up. Because as Philip K. Dick once said, "Reality is that which when you stop believing in it, it doesn't go away."
My latest for the IRPP asks how Ontario legislators can pass a vast new social program whose details have apparently yet to be determined.
In my latest National Post column I criticize the notion that we can find the answers to moral questions in a math textbook.

This Friday I'll be in Calgary at the Essentials of Freedom conference organized by my friend Danny Hozack. If you're in the area please join Danny, me, Brian Lilley, Mark Milke and others to talk about what's going wrong and how to get it right again. Including (but you saw this coming) a discussion of Magna Carta and our upcoming documentary funded through Kickstarter.
John Ivison in the National Post laments how Parliament is ceasing to control executive branch spending as a departure from the principle of individual freedom from arbitrary government.
The National Post just published my article on how legislators aren't keeping the executive in line (or judges) and we aren't making them do it. Politics isn't a fun sport with orange, blue and red competing for supremacy. It's about protecting our life, liberty and property. We need to remember that, and make the people we elect act on it.
