In my latest National Post column I quote two ponderously preposterous assurances on the pandemic a year ago to ask why no experience of their own failure ever convinces Canadian authorities to speak more humbly or think more carefully.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I say the mind-numbing vulgarity of Doug Ford’s comments about vaccine availability was just the beginning of their mind-numbing qualities.
In my latest Mercatornet column I say Biden’s hackneyed Inaugural speech may do no harm. But it did not rise to the occasion like, say, Lincoln’s magnificent Second Inaugural and did not even really seem to try.
In my latest National Post column I say Erin O’Toole’s boast about being pragmatic and moderate amounts to saying he has no convictions and cannot be counted on by anyone for anything, and trying to make it sound like an achievement. But it’s not.
In my latest Epoch Times column, I say recent revelations about national security breaches and governmental nonchalance ought to worry Canadians a lot more than they apparently do.

Edmund Burke on French Revolutionaries, quoted in Robert Bork The Tempting of America (and also though slightly less completely in William D. Gairdner Constitutional Crack-Up)
In my latest National Post column I say that, whatever else one thinks of the social media platforms banning Trump, it shows conclusively that they are publishers not platforms, and should be treated accordingly under libel and antitrust law.
In my latest Mercatornet article I say the Capitol hill riot resulted from unchecked hatred in the human heart, and should not be the trigger for more of the same from anyone.
