Commentary Economic activity in the first quarter disappointed. Real gross domestic product (GDP) grew at a paltry 1.1 percent annual pace between January and March. That was better news than a zero-to-negative figure that would have indicated recession but a poor showing, nonetheless. The detail behind this overall measure painted an even less attractive picture,…
Humanity Comes Before Identity
Commentary Somebody gave me a DNA test for Christmas. I duly provided the saliva, and my results have just come back. People have often told me that my name is typically English.

Commentary If America is going to survive—and, yes, its existence is not certain—we’re going to have to start uniting our people instead of dividing them. As I have written in previous Epoch Times articles, the California Reparations Task Force is doing the opposite. My articles are here, here, here, and here. That deleterious pattern was…
Remembering Gordon Lightfoot, Canada’s Authentic Post-War Troubadour
Commentary Singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot passed away on May 1, 2023. He was 84 years old. He will be remembered as the foremost Canadian singer-songwriter of his age as his songs expressed the longings, fears, hopes, joy, and pain of a generation of Canadians who came of age after World War II.

China is again the passive player in the background, but not inactive. Under the new WHO regulations, to be voted on at the end…
The Freezer-Truck Canard
Commentary These are the days of grasping for excuses. In sector after sector, leaders who gave us lockdowns and all that followed are trying to account for their actions, not apologizing of course but admitting that, in the classic formulation, mistakes were made. That said, they all agree on the core point. The government had…
