“The Declaration of the Rights of Man at the end of the eighteenth century was a turning point in history. It meant nothing more nor less than that from then on Man, and not God’s command or the customs of history, should be the source of Law.”

In my latest Epoch Times column I point out that despite all the inane rhetoric about keeping out private health care as intolerable and un-Canadian, our system depends on it to function while doing its inept best to suppress it.
In my latest National Post column I say the unsuccessful experience with online learning during the pandemic is yet another argument for adopting a choice-driven, voucher/charter school educational system.

St. Thomas Aquinas, quoted by Pierre Trudeau in Thomas Axworthy and Pierre Trudeau, eds., Towards a Just Society

On May 20 I discussed Israel, COVID, liberty and more with Richard Syrett on NewsTalk Sauga 960 AM.
