Commentary Apparently the Canadian government is justified in taking drastic measures to combat threats to national security or someone’s “self-realization” from, say, a truck horn. But if a totalitarian tyranny attempts to fiddle our elections, well, all good clean fun. At any rate, the prime minister declares himself thoroughly vindicated by the Rouleau report. But…
Is the Fascination With Dinosaurs a Manifestation of Colonialism?
Commentary There’s a stage that all young boys go through—at least all the young boys known to me—that is so consistent that it seems almost biological in nature: namely that of a fascination with dinosaurs. Of course, it can’t really be biological, because dinosaurs weren’t named as such—”terrible lizards”—until 1841, by the comparative anatomist Richard…
Barbara Kay: Promising Signs That Gender Mania Is Losing Steam
Commentary Three utopian projects obsess the left: environmentalism, racism, and androgyny. Climate affects us all, racism affects millions of us, but genuine gender dysphoria is extremely rare. And yet the obsession of radical gender ideologues with de-sexing human beings, and the lengths to which its advocates are prepared to go—speech codes, science subversion, erasure of…
How A Country Loses Its Currency Reserve Status
Commentary The U.S. dollar enjoys its world reserve currency status due to numerous factors: legal and investor security, an open and transparent market, as well as independent institutions with checks and balances that limit political power and strengthen the country’s currency in relative terms.

Commentary We tend to overuse the term “existential” crisis. Politicians and self-described cultural leaders in the mainstream media and Hollywood are particularly guilty of being Chicken Littles. They tell us that unless we adopt economy-destroying policies, climate change will doom us to mass starvation, flooded coastal cities, and a constant barrage of category-five hurricanes. Some…
Pandemic Fantasies Hit Hard Reality
Commentary This weekend, under the auspices of Brownstone Institute, two dozen writers and scholars—lawyers, doctors, essayists, scientists—gathered to come to terms with what happened over three years. At some point, all of us realized that no one in the room is today doing anything like what we were doing three years ago. Most everyone there…
Violent Attacks on Police Officers Are Increasing
Commentary Working as a police officer is dangerous. According to a report published by ISHN, a magazine dedicated to health and safety, “compared with the average job nationwide, based upon the workplace fatality rate,” working as a police officer is 4.1 times more dangerous. Police officers now have a workplace fatality rate “similar to maintenance…
Sovereign Cryptocurrency: A Grim Future of Control
Commentary Sovereign digital currency will give the government complete control over the economy of people’s private lives. The British government announced that it would be phasing in a sovereign cryptocurrency. It also said that citizens would be limited to 20,000 digital pounds. The motivation to move toward a national cryptocurrency backed by the Bank of…
Automakers and COVID Keeping Car Prices Unaffordable
Commentary Average new car prices have hit record-highs. U.S. auto prices have been increasing for years since pre-COVID. But heading into this year, there was hope that with higher inventories on the horizon and computer chip supply-chain issues behind us, prices would ease. If only that were the case. For consumers already struggling with high…
