The restaurant allowed the highest and most fabulous delights…
Cancel the Mandates, Leave the Workers Alone
Commentary President Joe Biden recently extended the U.S. national emergency for covid-19. A confrontation between truckers protesting Canadian covid mandates and the government in Ottawa has turned ugly.

The CDC Discovers Actual Public Health, Just in Time
Commentary One day I’m reading an internal memo commissioned by the Democratic Party to provide advice to dealing with Covid policy.

Skepticism as a New Way of Life
Commentary The 2020–2022 pandemic split parties and ideologues, separated friend from friend and family members from family members.

Is Canada Becoming North America’s Cuba?
Commentary Canada is leaving the Western world. In terms of all-encompassing government, suppression of dissent and the denial of fundamental human rights to many of its citizens, Canada is now more similar to Cuba than to any free country.

In the End, Sweden Did It Right
Commentary What if two years ago, when COVID-19 first hit these shores, our politicians hadn’t panicked?
