Commentary A popular talking point among green energy evangelists is that gas, oil, and coal are, in large part, successful because they are highly subsidized. Wind and solar, so the argument goes, would win in a fair fight, but, alas, the playing field is far from fair. But the supposed data they are drawing on to come…
China’s CCP: World’s Most Dangerous Transnational Criminal Organization
Originally published by Gatestone Institute Commentary China’s regime is trafficking illegal drugs, protected wildlife, and humans. It is laundering cash and participating in ransomware attacks. It steals intellectual property. The ruling group, as a matter of state policy, murders people for their organs. The Chinese state is not only a dangerous international actor, it is also a common criminal. Perhaps we should say it…

Commentary Governments are very privileged bodies. They are the only ones who can collect and spend taxpayer dollars. They are the only ones who can declare war. They change our lives in innumerable ways—some welcome and some not so. In short, they have a lot of power. Part of that power is the ability to…
Peter Menzies: Publishers Rightly Fear Bill C-18
Commentary Ignoring pleas from publishers for the preservation of their independence, Canada’s ruling party has turned up the heat on innovators who believe in freedom of the press and want the state to keep its eyes, ears, and nose out of the nation’s newsrooms. The most egregious example took place in the Senate Transport and…
Is the Sleeping Conservative Dragon Finally Waking Up?
Commentary Conservatives and traditionalists are often exasperated at the ongoing woke cultural revolution in their midst. How can America be turned upside down, as it is, when there is little public support for the things happening around us? They don’t see much backing for the current border policy and illegal immigration, yet it continues. Conservatives…
The End Times for the Officious Figureheads
Commentary Later in this piece I discuss the HBO series “Succession.” If you are allergic to anything like a very mild spoiler—I don’t think what I’m going to say spoils anything really—you should not read this. It’s about real and fake in the workplace and how to deal with the difference. Tell me if this…

Commentary The idea of a holistic concept of health—that our environment (or “biosphere”) influences our well-being, is far older than written history. So is greed, abuse, lust for power, and a desire to own and enslave others. There is, regarding what really matters, nothing new under the sun. “One Health,” a modern term for this…
Japan Is Back, yet Still Far From Its Old Days
Commentary The sudden bull of the Japanese stock market in May called for a thorough review of Japan. Japan used to be excluded from Asia in the past decades, but concentrating on industrialization, its stock market expanded exponentially in the latter half of the 1980s. The recent Japanese stock index (whether Nikkei or Topix) is…

Commentary The Australian Labor Party and the trade unions have been waging a war against what they call “insecure work” and contracting for some years, but it is only now they are in power that the reality is starting to dawn on employers. Take BHP. The mining giant complains that the cost of Labor’s “Same Job. Same…

Commentary I wonder how long King Charles will reign over this realm of Australia. I am in favour of the King, but not particularly optimistic about his future here. In 1995, former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who was at that time CEO of Australians for Constitutional Monarchy (ACM), asked me to set up a Tasmanian…
