In my latest Loonie Politics column I say if heads don’t roll over the latest revelations from the Mass Casualty Commission then we have pretty much given up on truth and decency.
In my latest National Post column I say the Liberal ban on (some) single-use plastics is a classic illustration of policy made without any attention to incentives and consequences.

“Apathy is a big problem, and it’s getting bigger all the time. To make matters worse, nobody gives a d*mn.”

“Human beings can control their own acts, but not the consequences of their acts to themselves or to others. Society can subject the distribution of wealth to whatever rules it thinks best: but what practical results will flow from the operation of those rules, must be discovered, like any other physical or mental truths, by observation and reasoning.”
John Stuart Mill, Principles of Political Economy, quoted in Thomas Sowell, Classical Economics Reconsidered
