Why The WHO Pandemic Treaty Is a Horrible Deal

Commentary FBI Director Christopher Wray has finally acknowledged that COVID-19 may have “leaked” from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Wray has even gone so far as to conclude that there “may” have been some cover-up involved from the Chinese authorities and their Communist Party (CCP). Of course, these things were reported here at The Epoch…


Cory Morgan: A Public Inquiry on CCP Interference Is Needed to Restore Canadians’ Trust in Electoral System

Commentary As much as we wish it was otherwise, most problems won’t solve themselves if we ignore them. The odd noise your car is making is likely warning you of a bigger problem to come, and the leaking pipe in the basement won’t seal itself. The same rule applies politically. Canada has a serious issue…


Fauci Wanted Universal Human Separation Forever

Commentary While millions were locked down, forbidden from going to events or even church, and the schools and arts were shut down, people kept asking a fundamental question: why is this happening, what is government doing, and what is the exit strategy? There were a number of possibilities. Maybe it was to preserve hospital capacity…


Are We Medicating Millions of ADHD Children Without Scientific Justification?

Commentary “As glasses help people focus their eyes to see,” medical experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics rule, “medications help children with ADHD focus their thoughts better and ignore distractions.” In their view, as well as in the view of multiple other expert consortiums, the most appropriate way to treat the “lifelong impairing condition”…


Nigeria’s Election of Bola Tinubu: Military Coups Have Been Better Received

Commentary Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election statistically and overwhelmingly failed to represent the majority of Nigerian citizens—let alone voters—and instead, delivered a new All-Progressives Alliance President in Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The incoming President, who showed numerous examples during the campaign that he was severely health-challenged, is now expected to deliver four more years of the policies…


Like the NEP Before It, the ‘Just Transition’ Initiative Is Another Attack on Canada’s Oil and Gas Industry

Commentary In 1980, I was struggling MBA student. The University of Toronto exposed me to the radical, for the times, ideas of the Chicago school economic thinkers like Milton Friedman and George Stigler, and Austrian school giants like Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek. These two “schools” of economic thinking championed individual freedom and capitalism…


Parents and Children Are the GOP Future

Commentary The Republican Party’s slow transformation from the Bordeaux-sipping party of Acela Corridor suburbanites into the beer-drinking party of working-class Rust Belt-ers and Sun Belt-ers has been picking up some steam lately. And as the GOP’s divorce from the Chamber of Commerce over irreconcilable cultural differences accelerates, a golden opportunity has emerged to recast the…


Questioning Biden’s Ukraine Policy Doesn’t Make You an ‘Isolationist’

Commentary It’s not exactly a sign of a healthy democratic discourse that it’s virtually impossible to ask a critical question about the United States’ role in the Ukraine-Russia conflict without being smeared as a Putin apologist or an “isolationist.” We’ve been bombarded with bromides about a civilizational struggle that pits the forces of autocracy and…


A College Degree Is Not a Credential

Commentary Mark S. (withholding the real name) worked four years to earn his B.A. in economics and then went ahead to get an M.A. in finance, which took another two years. In total he spent $250,000, half of which he borrowed and still owes, plus the income foregone for the time he spent is at…


The Question of College

Commentary Student debt debates have among other things enlivened conversation about the nation’s long-standing emphasis on college. With so many graduates unable to repay the cost of their education, questions naturally have arisen about whether college effectively serves the economy’s skills needs and, accordingly, whether many now in college might do better with some other…
