Commentary It must be something in the air. Or maybe it’s the air itself. Nevertheless, country legend John Rich and rapper Tom MacDonald of Hangover Gang fame—in their new two-genre music video “End of the World”—and major conservative thinker David Horowitz in his latest best-selling book “Final Battle” are all singing from the same playbook….
Apocalypse Now? John Rich, Tom MacDonald, and David Horowitz Sing the Same Song Brilliantly
Punished for Doing the Right Thing: The Battle for Ethical Medicine in Ontario
Commentary The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) continues to pursue disciplinary proceedings against three Ontario doctors for providing vaccine exemption letters and making allegedly “misleading” statements questioning the health benefits of CPSO policy on COVID-19. The stakes are high for Crystal Luchkiw, Patrick Phillips, and Mark Trozzi. With their medical licences indefinitely…
Michael Zwaagstra: Education Schools Do a Poor Job of Training Teachers
Commentary Nearly a century ago, Lawrence Lowell, the retiring president of Harvard University, described his university’s education school as “a kitten that ought to be drowned.” While Lowell’s words were offensive, his point was clear. Education schools have a poor reputation. This was true in the early-20th century and it remains true today. In 2006,…

Commentary Children are society’s most precious commodity or asset. It is their well-being and the virtues instilled in them as they grow up which will determine our society’s future. We all need to be fully invested in our children’s future from a family perspective right through to our nation at large. Part of being fully…
Is There Reason to Fear AI?
Commentary ChatGPT and other aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) have created a lot of fear. Many dread, and have done so for years, that AI will steal millions of jobs and, worse, gain some sentience and take over, as the computer HAL did in the 1970’s film, “2001 Space Odyssey.” Neither the takeover nor mass…
A Sudden and Ominous Nuclear Gap
Commentary With the original Cold War long faded in the rear-view mirror, there are terms of art that have been forgotten. Two key terms drove the dialogue on the American–Soviet nuclear standoff of the Cold War: “bomber gap” and “missile gap.” They were powerful terms that the average American citizen or average politician could understand….
Hollywood’s Old Code Is Better Than the New Code
Commentary On the recommendation of Tiffany Brannan, I watched “No Highway in the Sky” (1951) with Jimmy Stewart and Marlene Dietrich. It’s an absolutely thrilling movie with tremendous scenes of what it was like to fly commercial in 1951 in all its luxury. It’s comfort, service, and spaciousness all around. Those scenes alone are remarkable…
Canada’s Defence Team Has Met the Enemy and He Is Us!
Commentary Walt Kelly’s “Pogo” was a syndicated cartoon that appeared in hundreds of North American newspapers from 1948 to 1975. The comic strip chronicled the adventures of a clever opossum who lived among other talking animals in the Southern Okefenokee Swamp. Pogo was popular among children and adults with plenty of pithy political satire aimed…
Biden Orders Up More Socialist Government
Commentary “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem,” said President Ronald Reagan during his inaugural address. Biden’s executive orders on equity will not make things more equal. On the contrary, they create more socialism and government control. On Feb. 16, President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Further Advancing Racial…
Australia Politics: A Conservative-Free Zone?
Commentary Pollster Graham Young recently predicted that the last centre-right Liberal government on the mainland looks set to fall in the upcoming New South Wales election. If his prediction comes true, all states and territories on the mainland will have centre-left Labor governments. It is sometimes argued, in the right-of-centre press, that this development is…
