Commentary For weeks, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals minimized, claimed ignorance, or flat-out denied various allegations of foreign interference in Canada’s election process and its democratic institutions. But the court of public opinion could only absorb so much nonsense about a long-standing, decades-old problem and ruled against them. Ottawa is now scurrying to…
Michael Taube: Ottawa’s ‘Special Rapporteur’ to Look Into Foreign Interference Won’t Be So Special
Anthony Furey: Three Years After the Pandemic Began, What Have We Learned?
Commentary When it comes to singling out the most ludicrous of pandemic restrictions that Canadians endured, the list of contenders is long. But there’s one that I continue to go back to as, if not the most ridiculous, then at least the most inhumane. It was March 2021, and lockdowns had thankfully been lifted to…

Commentary If there is one sin worse today than producing fossil fuels, it is making money while doing it. The Australian energy industry is looking on with apprehension at repeated calls for so-called “windfall profit taxes.” There is no predicting the current government, which has shown zero circumspection against interference in energy markets at any…

For many parents, there is something deeply satisfying about taking a baby, especially a firstborn, to the doctor. After all, so-called “well baby” visits give parents the opportunity to talk to an expert about a child’s development, ask burning questions about when the baby will be able to sit up without assistance and what to…
How to Make a Monster? Isolate Your Child
At the time of writing this piece, the United States has already experienced more than 100 mass shootings this year. That works out at roughly 11 mass shootings—involving three or more victim fatalities in a single incident—every week. What is going on? Some, of course, will point to the ease of access to firearms. However, just…
It’s Time to Restore Ethical Integrity at the University of British Columbia
Commentary As a University of British Columbia alumnus, with a Ph.D. from the Department of English Language and Literatures, I share responsibility for UBC’s policies. Because my credentials are associated with UBC, whenever I make use of them to gain employment, or to secure positions as a volunteer or committee member, whenever I draw benefit…
Cory Morgan: Blaming Grocers for Food Price Inflation Is a Red Herring
Commentary It was high drama during a recent meeting of what is typically a sedate parliamentary agriculture committee. With weeks of pressure, MPs managed to get some CEOs of Canada’s largest grocers to appear before the committee to explain their recent profit levels. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh had been attacking Canadian grocers for days using…
Is Your Bank Safe?
Commentary Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the country’s sixteenth-largest bank with $209 billion in assets, failed on Friday in one of the most shocking developments to hit the banking sector since the global financial crisis fifteen years ago.

Recently “COVID-19” and “Fauci” have been trending on Twitter. And when you click on those hashtags, you don’t get regurgitated government messaging. Instead, you get declarations like this one from Dr. Eli David, which has been viewed 1.2 million times: “Fauci was wrong about lockdowns, masks, double-masks, Remdesivir, vaccine, boosters, and virus origin. “Was Fauci…
‘Special Rapporteur’ Plan Amounts to Yet More Smoke and Mirrors
Commentary If you had never heard of a special rapporteur before last week, you might be forgiven. There has never been such a position in Canadian government departments, federal or provincial. There are plenty of special rapporteurs at the United Nations, however, but even there it’s an obscure title. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced…
