Last month, I was back home in Calgary to teach at the law school. So, I got together with a couple high school buddies – one a lawyer, one an engineer – at Michael’s on Tenth Avenue. (Michael’s has the best pizza in Canada, by the way. Hands down.) We

The chickens have voted for Colonel Sanders again. It’s an old, old story, and we seem farther away than ever from changing the ending. Doug Ford is destroying Ontario in a way Mike Harris only dreamed of. Healthcare, schools, libraries, parks, public transit — all programs, all supports, and countless

Nate Erskine-Smith is my MP. I have always liked him. I have always praised him and had a big sign supporting him in front of my house in 2015. But ever since Nate voted to deny Jody Wilson-Raybould an opportunity to appear before the Ethics Committee – ever since Nate

“Dirty Jew.” It’s the Summer of 1986. The place: Caroline, Alta., just outside Red Deer. The slur has been uttered by Terry Long, the “High Aryan Warrior Priest” of the Canadian branch of the Aryan Nations. I’m at the fenced gate leading to Long’s acreage. On either side of me

An excellent Lavscam investigative report by CBC, no less. And it’s a doozy. Millions of dollars in a safe to facilitate bribes. Massive fraud. And Justin Trudeau’s favourite engineering firm still up to its ears in slime. The same firm which, also this morning, we are hearing in the indispensable

Wow. The Toronto Star, of all media organizations, commissioned a poll after Justin Trudeau martyred Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott. And, according to the most Liberal-friendly paper of all, he’s in a free fall. Story here, key facts below: A new poll suggests Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives continue to have the

Alberta’s Internet was in a furious swivet last night. There seemed to be something to wind everyone up as we enter the final stretch of a provincial election both sides have characterized as an epochal event sure to seal the fate of the province if it goes the wrong way.

Photo by Presidencia de la República Mexicana Some people on the left seem keen to perpetuate Canadian foreign policy mythology. In a December Ricochet article headlined “Trudeau lags behind allies in taking action on Saudi Arabia’s grisly crimes,” Brian McLaughlin claims that former prime minister Brian Mulroney “is still revered

Photo by Brendan Collinge Parroting – or perhaps parodying – the Yellow Vest movement in France, hundreds of similarly dressed protesters began taking to Alberta’s streets in the weeks leading up to Christmas 2018. On the surface, some of their grievances appear to mirror those of the French gilets jaunes

Photo by Matthew Usherwood Global players like SNC-Lavalin are masters of corruption. They have a lengthy history of illicit payments to public officials and not just in Libya. The North African petro-state is just the most visible with alleged bribes of $48 million for the decade spanning 2001-2011. RCMP charges

It was a year ago Friday that the government of Canada declared Kirill Kalinin and three other Russian diplomats persona non grata and sent them packing for using, in the words of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, “their diplomatic status to undermine Canada’s security or interfere in our democracy.” Nobody bothered

Dear Liberals: This is an open letter to all of you. I want to start it by telling you why I became a lawyer. It was a movie, called The Oxbow Incident. It was a Western, released some 75 years ago, and it starred Henry Fonda. It was about how
