Commentary Federal governments like scheduling tax increases for April 1 for a couple of reasons.

Cory Morgan: Carbon Tax Is Making Life More Difficult for Canadians Rather Than Reducing Emissions
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.

Commentary Forrest McDonald, perhaps the 20th century’s greatest constitutional historian, observed in his book “Novus Ordo Seclorum” that the framers produced a Constitution very different from the one James Madison sought.

Crossing the Rubicon Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
Commentary The time was 49 BC. The players were Julius Caesar and the members of Rome’s Senate.
