In my latest National Post column I explain how anyone who actually wants to have a sensible conversation on guns not a shouting match, or a virtue-signalling festival, could go about it.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say Patrick Brown’s claim to be a “pragmatic” conservative actually means voters have no idea what he would do if elected and neither does he… like an amazingly long line of political figure prone to boasting of their mental and moral hollowness..
“Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right?

“He was not only a bore, he bored for England.”
Malcolm Muggeridge, quoted by Ian Hunter in National Post August 11, 2003 (it was during the Suez Crisis and, Hunter adds, “This article pretty much finished Eden’s political career. Earlier, he had similarly dispatched U.S. Foreign Secretary John Foster Dulles: ‘Dull. Duller. Dulles.’”)
In my latest National Post column I say one of the most glaring flaws in the 1982 Constitution, including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, was the failure even to attempt to put checks and balances on the judiciary.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say the Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn’t protect freedom, it protects our right to impose on other people, because it was designed by utilitarians to override natural law and it does.
