Commentary As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prepares for the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania this week, he should speak wisely. Amid all the strained and fabricated hoopla surrounding Trudeau’s “surprise” visit to Ukraine in June, almost all of the media missed one important moment: Canada becoming “a guarantor” of Ukraine’s safety. And those media that…

Commentary We’re squarely in the dog days of summer, which in Hellenistic astrology is connected to bad luck, lethargy, and, of course, hot and humid weather. These are the days when economists and market watchers would love to shut down and go away for the summer. But for Chair Jerome Powell and the U.S. Federal…
US Consumers Are Suffering in a Less Than Robust Economy
Commentary Keynesian policies are damaging what they were intended to support. No example is more evident than what’s occurring in the United States. A few years ago, in 2021, I had a conversation with the economist Judy Shelton wherein she said that the recovery would be much stronger without the stimulus package, and she was…
If Government Is Serious About Tackling the Housing Crisis, It Must Help Private Investors
Commentary You have to wonder whether Australia’s federal and state Labor governments are trying to drive private landlords out of the residential market. It would be perverse behaviour when Australia has a housing rental and home ownership crisis, but the only alternative explanation is incompetence. In the first place, they’ve set the country up for…

Commentary Progressive California Gov. Hiram Johnson’s initiative system has justified itself again. Look at the political establishment’s response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision ending affirmative action at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, with national application. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta and others have rejected that decision, contradicting…

Cory Morgan: Banning the Russian Pavilion at Edmonton Heritage Festival Reeks of Intolerance
Commentary Will Canada ever learn from its own mistakes? The years of apologies and reparations for the historical mistreatment of Canadian immigrants during times of war appear to have been forgotten as we quietly allow prejudice to form around Russian Canadians. Canada has a rich history of inviting and welcoming immigrants from all parts of…
The Men of America Have Severe Body Issues
Commentary The United States is in the midst of a “silent crisis.” The number of lonely males in the United States continues to rise. What’s driving this epidemic of sadness, separation, and isolation? As I’ve noted before, the average American has fewer friends today than at any other time in recent history. Women have closer…
Cory Morgan: Double Standard: Why Should Quebec Pay Less Carbon Tax Than Other Provinces?
Commentary It’s tough to justify the inexorable growth in carbon taxes in Canada while citizens struggle with increases in the cost of living. But the inequitable application of the scheme across provinces adds insult to injury. B.C. was the first province out of the gate to impose a carbon tax in 2008 to battle emissions. Since imposing…
The Looting Epidemic: Uncovering the Tastes and Desires of Rioters
Commentary Tell me what you loot and I will tell you what you are—or at least, what your tastes are. During the latest, but certainly not the last, riots in France, looting was widespread (unlike the riots of 2005, which were more purely destructive). And what the rioters looted, mainly, were sneakers and smartphones. These…
