Commentary What is the end goal of a policy that deals with drug addiction? That’s the key question that political leaders and societal stakeholders should be considering as they announce ever more alarming initiatives in an attempt to limit the number of drug-overdose deaths across Canada. After all, in the end, there are only two…
The Opioid Crisis Reflects a Failure of Public Policy – It’s Time to Change Course
Taking Stock of Bidenomics
Commentary Speaking in Chicago last week, President Joe Biden made one of the early speeches of his 2024 reelection campaign. Mindful that the state of the economy is a primary concern of American voters in every presidential election, Mr. Biden trumpeted the alleged successes of his policies. In his words, “Bidenomics, we’re turning this around….
Beijing Stokes America’s Next Cuba Crisis
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently visited China, seeking to restore high-level dialogue between Washington and Beijing. But some pundits, such as Alexander Ward and Jonathan Lemire for Politico, have commented that Mr. Blinken’s trip was overshadowed by news that China and Cuba are in talks to establish a joint military-training facility on the island,…
Woke Inclusivity Opens Gates to Exclusion and Division
Commentary Canada’s federal government has cheerfully proclaimed June to September to be Pride Season. Beyond the commonplace vulgarity in pride parades, one reasonably perceives a push to include new identities. And generous Canadians are inclusive. But a push for inclusion is a push for power, and that makes inclusion a complex political beast. For starters, unless…
The Greatest Victory of Liberty in Our Lifetime

CISA Was Behind the Attempt to Control Your Thoughts, Speech, and Life

Union Fights Signal Danger Ahead for Bidenomics
Commentary Just a few hours before President Biden tied his political fate to the economy, embracing the term “Bidenomics” in a Chicago speech Wednesday, June 28, he was still trying to dispel worries about a looming recession.

Unravelling the Damage Inflicted by Past Judicial Activism
Commentary Judicial activism. The role of the democratic legislature. The separation of powers. The creative tensions between the two. They are all substantive issues vitally important to the proper functioning of our body politic. It is right and proper that those who make the laws are not the interpreters of those laws. So we have…
They Will Pry My Cocktail Ice From My Cold Dead Fingers
Commentary This time, one might say, the Scientific American has gone too far. But actually, that’s been going on for years.
