“peaceful anarchy, than which nothing could be more impossible, given human nature as it is.”

Mortimer J. Adler Ten Philosophical Mistakes

In my latest Epoch Times column I say the fact that the Toronto Maple Leafs are testing their employees while the state is not testing you teaches a lesson about howmarkets work and governments don’t.

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 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 the casual and inconsistent way governments keep shutting down our lives betrays their conceited conviction that we weren’t doing anything important anyway.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I give thanks that Canada is blessed with sages capable of devising the brilliantly original solution to our health care crisis of spending tons more cash from Ottawa’s magic money tree.
