Commentary Since last October, six departments of the Hong Kong government have criticized the cartoons of Zunzi, Hong Kong’s veteran political cartoonist, for being “factually untrue” and “unethical.” The message is clear: Ming Pao, the newspaper where the cartoons were published, had to stop publishing Zunzi, who had produced pro-democratic cartoons for four decades. Finally,…
Trans Activist Bullies and the Intimidation of Biological Women
Commentary The London School of Economics (LSE), one of the highest-ranked universities in the world, recently published a report discussing the rise of the transphobic feminist. “How did it happen that a considerable part of feminist communities aligned with the conservative anti-gender movements in producing anti-transgender public discourse?” asked the authors, before lamenting the “proliferation…
US and Australia Drink the Kool-Aid on Climate Change
Commentary Signed bits of paper abound at international conferences. Serious-looking leaders signing their names to documents that would never pass the examination of a first-year law student abound. Statements of intent, flowing phrases, and wonderful words, which at the end of the day are neither enforceable nor meaningful, tend to go from headline to dustbin…
John Paul II Would Not Have Supported The Voice
Commentary Following the election of the Albanese government last year, religious leaders from various Christian denominations and other faiths expressed their support for the proposal to amend the Constitution to include a provision for the Indigenous Voice to Parliament and the Executive. In the church I belong to, the Catholic Church, the Archbishop of Perth,…
Radical Solutions Needed to Avert Future National Debt Disaster
Commentary I don’t know when the debt ceiling will be raised, but it will be raised. Every time federal spending bumps up against the debt ceiling, we witness the same drama, a drama so predictable that you could almost call it a ritual: Republicans, citing a need for fiscal restraint, demand some cuts to federal…
They Are Scared: Proponents of Gender Affirmation Showed Their Fear at a Conference
Commentary I went to a CAMFT (California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists) training conference on May 5 and 6 in order to get an in-person account of what is happening in my profession, in particular regarding gender ideology. I attended because I wanted to hear firsthand what is being taught to my colleagues. They…
California’s Homelessness Crisis: The Illusion of Government Spending
Commentary Just about everywhere you go, you’re being encouraged to give money to an organization that needs it to operate and benefit people who are less fortunate than yourself. Our concept of helping is relinquishing our hard-earned money as a sacrifice for a greater good, which is a sacrifice we often gladly participate in. However,…
There’s No Justification for BC’s Continued War on Unvaccinated Health Workers
Commentary The threat of COVID-19 has passed. But the threat of COVID-19 policy remains for the thousands of health-care workers terminated as a result of their decision to refuse the COVID-19 genetic vaccines. And the threat of COVID-19 policy also remains for all British Columbians who wish to preserve our essential right to informed consent,…
Michael Zwaagstra: Provinces Should Fast-Track Teacher Certification
Commentary Suppose your local high school urgently needed a new science teacher. Would a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry or physics be eligible for the position? Not if she had a Ph.D. and 30 years of teaching experience at an elite university but no teaching certificate. That’s because only someone with a teaching certificate can…
The G-7 Is a Burr in Xi Jinping’s Saddle
Commentary The communist Chinese pour cold water on the actions and pronouncements of any international body that excludes China from participation. This is particularly true of intergovernmental organizations that can greatly affect the world economy, as the so-called Group of Seven is meant to do under the leadership of the United States. Since Xi Jinping…
