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.

Cory Morgan: The ‘Rapporteur’ Investigation Into CCP Interference Has Failed Before It’s Begun
Commentary If there was any chance the appointment of a “rapporteur” to investigate Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference in two Canadian elections would instill confidence in Canada’s democratic system, the chance evaporated when Prime Minister Trudeau appointed David Johnston to the role.

Commentary President Biden traveled to Monterey Park, California, the site of a mass public shooting that left 11 dead in January, to announce new executive actions on gun control. He touts the proposals as necessary “to reduce gun violence and make our communities safer.” But California already has all the gun control laws that Biden…
SVB, ESG, and Biden’s ERISA Rule
Commentary The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) occurred just days after Congress passed the Braun-Barr resolution, which overturns the Biden administration’s “Prudence and Loyalty” rule and its encouragement of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing by pension managers under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

Sen. David Richards: Battles Are Won Before They Are Fought
Commentary You fight the enemy where he’s not, said Sun Tzu a few millennia ago. The Chinese general and philosopher should be listened to, for this is what China is doing in their relations with United States. Don’t worry about Canada. I don’t mean to be impolite, but it seems our government doesn’t, so why…

Commentary For three years, I’ve been amazed at the relative calm in the financial system. It truly did not seem believable to me that governments and central banks could utterly shatter all market functioning and flood the world with paper money and yet there be no structural consequences for the banks.

Why Are the Chickens So Sick?
Commentary As the nation suffers through yet another High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) outbreak, questioning the orthodox narrative is more important than ever.

Commentary The Western world has been caught in a spiral of self-harm and debasement for the past three years. Aspects of the underlying psychology have been discussed in abstract terms, regarding mass anxiety and the actions of crowds. Little has been said about the possibility that we are simply terrified of death. This is a…
Are We the Byzantines?
Commentary When Constantinople finally fell to the Ottomans on Tuesday, May 29, 1453, the Byzantine Empire and its capital had up to that point survived for 1,000 years beyond the fall of the Western Empire at Rome. Always outnumbered in a sea of enemies, the Byzantines’ survival had depended on its realist diplomacy of dividing…
