In my latest Epoch Times column I say the Prime Minister is blithely uninterested in Communist subversion while bitterly opposed to domestic dissent.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I praise John Tory for finding the honour to resign as mayor of Toronto, and mean it the second time, instead of denying that character had any relevance to politics like most of those commenting on the affair or whispering or yelling in his ear
In my latest Epoch Times column I say the failure of our governments to mention the hordes of mysterious Chinese spy balloons cruising around doesn’t inspire confidence in their handling of the issue.
“Again, the new oligarchy must more and more base its claim to plan us on its claim to knowledge. If we are to be mothered, mother must know best. This means they must increasingly rely on the advice of scientists, till in the end the politicians proper become merely the scientists’ puppets. Technocracy is the form to which a planned society must tend. Now I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside their special subjects. Let scientists tell us about sciences. But government involves questions about the good for man, and justice, and what things are worth having at what price; and on these a scientific training gives a man’s opinion no added value.”

In my latest Loonie Politics column I say the new government-funded recommendation to have at most two drinks a week is a weird triumph of the hypochondriac and the control freak at a time when the cost of panicky COVID lockdowns increasingly demonstrates that they should not be in charge of anything important.
In my latest National Post column I say it is humans, not frogs, who fail to react as circumstances slowly change in terrible ways like governments piling up debt.
