Canada is in trouble. This is the ninth budget in a row that depends heavily on excessive borrowed money managed by an obesely bloated federal bureaucracy that is now 40% larger and 68% more costly than when the Liberals took power in 2015.

ALL demand-side policies, which will bid up prices and make the crisis worse. We are truly at a level of economic illiteracy that's never really been seen at the federal level before.

This ⁦The Free Press⁩ piece on what went wrong ⁦NPR⁩ by a long-time employee is irrefutable and devastatingly accurate.

Institutions that can’t find their way back to viewpoint diversity will slowly, and then quickly, make themselves irrelevant. thefp.com/p/npr-editor-h…

I think we're at the point now where if an average Canadian was somehow put in charge of government, their top 10 legislative priorities would have zero overlap with the top 10 legislative priorities of the incumbent.

My new Post column: Trudeau praises free market climate policies yet his Emission Plan is 99% central planning. Poilievre opposes big government and carbon taxes but remains committed to impossible targets. Someone's got to risk being honest. Oh, and about this winter we've…

Recently in the National Post Dr Jordan B Peterson argued conservatives should move beyond attacking bad economics and confront woke ideology itself. In today's Post I argue both pathologies originate in the same place: the 1888 Communist Manifesto

Somewhere in the PMO, there's a 21-year-old staffer trying desperately to find some obscure data point to hang their hat on. 'Canada is now leading the world in monthly employment growth squared by per-capita emissions, minus median debt reduction per taxpayer amortized to 2035.'

I have criticized the landscape surrounding high-impact peer-reviewed scientific studies published in places like Nature. But here I bring attention to Nature’s science news section, which sadly, appears to be in even worse shape: liberalpatriot.com/p/when-science…
