Commentary It was high drama during a recent meeting of what is typically a sedate parliamentary agriculture committee. With weeks of pressure, MPs managed to get some CEOs of Canada’s largest grocers to appear before the committee to explain their recent profit levels. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh had been attacking Canadian grocers for days using…

Is Your Bank Safe?
Commentary Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the country’s sixteenth-largest bank with $209 billion in assets, failed on Friday in one of the most shocking developments to hit the banking sector since the global financial crisis fifteen years ago.

Recently “COVID-19” and “Fauci” have been trending on Twitter. And when you click on those hashtags, you don’t get regurgitated government messaging. Instead, you get declarations like this one from Dr. Eli David, which has been viewed 1.2 million times: “Fauci was wrong about lockdowns, masks, double-masks, Remdesivir, vaccine, boosters, and virus origin. “Was Fauci…
‘It Happened One Night’ (1934): Frank Capra’s Pre-Code Oscar Winner
Commentary The 95th Academy Awards are taking place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday, March 12. The 95th year! It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a whole century since the first Oscars were handed out at a short, private ceremony at the Blossom Ballroom in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. I applied…
‘You Are Not a Mother; You Are a Soldier’
Commentary “You are not a mother, you are a soldier!” I will never forget those words. That was in 2007, in Mosul, Iraq, my first of many deployments. I was a newly pinned staff sergeant (SSG) and for the first time in my adult life was in a place without my family for a very…
Communist China Recycles an Old Soviet PsyOp
Commentary On 7 March, Chinese state-run media reported new Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang stating that China would follow the principles of “peaceful coexistence” (Russian: Mirnoye sosushchestvovaniye) in relations with the United States. The ghost of Nikita Khrushchev must be whispering in Qin’s ear (and also his master, Xi Jinping’s ear) because that was a Soviet…
‘Special Rapporteur’ Plan Amounts to Yet More Smoke and Mirrors
Commentary If you had never heard of a special rapporteur before last week, you might be forgiven. There has never been such a position in Canadian government departments, federal or provincial.

Commentary Thus far in this 3-year fiasco of mismanagement and corruption, we’ve avoided a financial crisis. That’s for specific reasons. We just had not traveled there in the trajectory of the inevitable. Are we there yet? Maybe. In any case, the speed of change is accelerating. All we await is to observe the extent of…
Former Public Health Officials Undermine Public Trust with Conduct Unbecoming Scientists
Commentary Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, infamously boasted, “I represent science.” Let’s hope not. His actions during the COVID emergency both corrupted science and undermined trust in our most important public health institutions. Early in the pandemic, I believed Fauci would approach his duties with integrity…
