John Robson: Elite Pushback Against a Canadian Foreign Agent Registry Is a Ruse

Commentary A news feed just offered me a “historic election” in Turkey. But they don’t have such things there. Cemeteries are full of indispensable men, and newspaper “morgues” of crucial events now forgotten and unimportant then. Whereas Canada really faces a historic moment with regard to foreign meddling. David Johnston is astounded that we won’t…


Are We Aztecs? Understanding the Transgender Epidemic

Commentary I have been trying to understand why people from CEOs to self-described “progressive” politicians act in such heavy support of the metastasizing transgender movement. As recently as a few years ago, a girl who liked to climb trees was a girl who liked to climb trees and a boy who liked to play with…


The Continuing Relevance of ‘Li’l Abner’

Commentary What’s $4 trillion among friends? Just a sop to distract Leviathan for a short while. He’ll snaffle it down and then take a brief nap before waking up and demanding another snack. This time it was a $4 trillion nip and tuck to the federal debt. For decades, the people Americans have elected to…


Barbara Kay: Gender Ideologues Trying to ‘Cancel’ Objective Research on Dysphoria, Transitioning

Commentary By 2017, already professionally engaged in transgender politics, I began to focus on the anecdotally observed phenomenon of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD), that is, a sudden declaration of a need for gender transition in adolescents and young adults (AYA) who had never presented as dysphoric in childhood. I sought research material, but available studies…


When Environmental Radicalism Is More Harmful Than Good

Commentary When mindless environmental zealotry turns into environmental vandalism and economic destruction something is badly wrong. What turns the wrong into an inexcusable outrage is when the government allows it to occur, ignoring the common good which is at stake. This is exactly the state of play in the state of Victoria where the debt-ridden…


Indicators That Show the Recession Is Now

Commentary I’m not going to be one of those prognosticators who finds evidence of my predictions regardless of the facts. True, I said two months ago that the U.S. economy would be in a solid statistical recession by late summer. This is based on existing industrial trends and weakened labor markets at the high end…


Questioning Inflation Figures as US Consumer Price Index Drops to 4.9%

Commentary Numbers recently released indicate that the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the most commonly used indicator of inflationary pressures, fell to a one-year annualized rate of 4.9 percent in the United States. The Biden administration heralded this as a major triumph as Twitter shills sang the praises of the Democrats’ economic stewardship. (In Canada, the…


Memorial Day: We’re Human Like Everyone Else

Commentary I haven’t put much thought into Veterans’ or Memorial Day, even as a military member, until this past Monday. I remember being on watch last Sunday and having to work until mid-afternoon on Monday. I was griping quietly to myself and my wife about burning most of a four-day weekend, preparing for a security…


‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’ Has a Wonderful Message Americans Need to Hear

Commentary The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once offered a bit of stoic wisdom about the importance of being grateful for the things we have. “Treat what you don’t have as nonexistent,” Aurelius wrote in “Meditations.” “Look at what you have, the things you value most, and think of how much you’d crave them if you…
