Commentary The Trudeau administration seems to have “jumped the shark” in choosing as interim ethics commissioner a close relative of a minister already caught violating the Conflict of Interest Act on behalf of… a relative. Columnist Andrew Coyne exclaimed “They are just trolling us now,” and it feels like appalling misjudgment on their part. But…

Commentary Over the last decade, California has been on a crusade to erode parental rights. By misinterpreting Education Code Section 221.5, commonly referred to as Assembly Bill 1266, the state is inducing teachers to withhold information from parents about their children. Specifically, it is permitting this bill to be used by teachers as a basis…
“Confidentially Connie” From 1953: Teachers, Texas, and T-Bone
Commentary Janet Leigh made her film debut opposite Van Johnson in “The Romance of Rosy Ridge” in 1947. Six years later, they were again paired in “Confidentially Connie” (1953). Just like in the earlier film, Van Johnson is a schoolteacher who takes the calling of educating young people very seriously. He’s still in love with…

Commentary Sometimes a map tells a dramatic story. That’s the case for the following map released March 30 by the U.S. Census Bureau. It shows net domestic migration for the United States, by county, for 2021-22. Each red dot shows 100 people leaving. Each blue dot shows 100 people arriving. For a larger version, click…
Trump Indictment Fundamentally Transforms America to Third-World Nation
Commentary The indictment of former president and current Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump by a leftist New York County district attorney, Alvin Bragg, borne of a wholly contrived, baseless, and unprecedented case that every other Trump-hating authority declined to bring, is an utter abomination. It’s an outrageous assault on the rule of law that “normalizes”…
Cory Morgan: Carbon Tax Is Making Life More Difficult for Canadians Rather Than Reducing Emissions
Commentary Federal governments like scheduling tax increases for April 1 for a couple of reasons. Canadians are typically in good spirits as the end of winter is in sight and folks who qualified for tax refunds are feeling flush. The government also likes to give themselves raises at the beginning of April with the hope…
Sensitivity Readers Take on Agatha Christie’s Books
Commentary In one respect, French law is greatly superior to British or American: It doesn’t allow publishers to alter a text once its author has died. For good or evil, a written work remains the author’s unchanging legacy forever, and if a publisher doesn’t like or is offended by it, that’s tough. The publisher either…
At the Threshold or Turning Point
Commentary Reflecting on the breathtaking and unprecedented enormity of Alvin Bragg’s indictment of former president Donald Trump, a friend wrote me to say it reminded her of Martin Niemöller’s famous poem “First they came ….” “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. “Then they came…
Vivek Ramaswamy Isn’t Running for Second Place, but He Might Get It
Commentary In the midst of the uproar over former President Donald Trump’s indictment, Greg Kelly, on his popular Newsmax show, spoke forcefully in favor of entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy as Trump’s running mate. He did this although Ramaswamy, as yet, has failed to register more than a point or two, if that, in the polls. And…
A Rebel’s Reading List
Commentary Here is a bitter irony for you. Just as the world’s greatest literature of all ages became available to every person, mostly at no charge, and with only a search and a click, it seems like most people have lost interest. What incredible and tragic timing! For a large part of the 18th and…
