Commentary Leadership requires the strength to say “NO” even when those around you clamour to proceed and can’t foresee the inherent danger. With opinion polling suggesting that Australians are positively disposed to supporting “The Voice” proposal to alter their Constitution, the Liberal/National Coalition has taken a strong, principled stand in opposing the proposal both on…

Our French Revolution
Commentary We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793–94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary. The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020. It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority…

Commentary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has officially filed with the Federal Election Commission as a candidate for president. Yes, he will run for president as a Democrat, challenging Joe Biden in the primaries. Does he have any chance? A quick quip: he has as much chance as Trump had in 2015, back when all the…
Peter Menzies: The Only Online ‘Harm’ Canadians Are Worried About Is Escalating Censorship
Commentary Canada’s war on the core liberties of its citizens—their freedom to think what they want, believe in what they want, and express themselves accordingly—is about to escalate in ways that just a few years ago no one would have thought possible. First up is news that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is confirming its…
How Money Moves Prices
Commentary The banking crisis is there, but global inflation does not ease quickly. Breaking down the components tells clearly that the non-core components (food and energy) almost vanish while the core ones (mainly services) are still firm. This is true in most of the advanced economies, including Japan. Housing prices are generally coming down (some…
The Gender Bullies Run Rampant
Commentary Many years ago, as an undergraduate member of our Union board, it fell to me to chair a meeting at my university. After all those years, I can’t honestly recall what the meeting was about, but the “Rads” (radicals, as we used to call them in those days) evidently decided to break it up….
California’s Education Priorities Are Focused on Equity Quotas
Commentary A March 26 front page article in the Orange County Register bemoaned the fact that too few black and Latino males become teachers in the California public schools in proportion to Caucasian men and women. It didn’t mention Asian male teachers, but painted minority teachers as “people of color” as if Caucasians don’t come…
Women Work Harder Than Men? Phooey!
Commentary “Women work harder than men.” That was the sexist headline for an article earlier this year on The Conversation. Hardly unusual, given that the overburdened woman is a favoured theme with our media intent on singing women’s praises and denigrating men at every conceivable opportunity. But this anthropological study takes the cake. It involved…
A Democratic Revival? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Throws His Hat in the Ring
Commentary Back to the Future, or whatever. As predicted by this column and echoed by Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for president. This should be welcome news to all Americans of both parties. The Democratic Party, from Barack Obama to Joe Biden, has been leading our country poco-a-poco…

Commentary The state of California has finally released its latest Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the year ending June 2021, months after the previous State Controller left the building. This is supposed to be issued within 180 days, not 21 months. We can assume that the June 2022 report will be available a year…
