It’s nothing new. It’s not unique. And it’s not just something that happens in federal politics. Chinese mauling of our democracy, and democratic institutions, that is. What has been reported in the media about the Chinese regime — that it deliberately and repeatedly sought to influence the 2019 and 2021

Artificial intelligence is a benign kind of description, isn’t it? Doesn’t sound demonic at all. So too its acronym, AI. We hear and see “AI” all the time, these days. It’s so ubiquitous, so commonplace, it just makes people shrug, now. For an entire generation, all of us have been

As in politics, as in comedy: it’s all about timing. Take MAGA, for instance (please). The Make America Great Again movement indisputably revolutionized American politics. Possibly world politics, too. Whether you like MAGA or not, it can’t be denied: “Make America Great Again” transformed a reality show host into the

Twitter, Elon Musk, CBC and the federal workers’ strike are all connected. Stay with me, here. A few days ago, Twitter’s troll-in-chief, Elon Musk – who attended Queen’s University in the early Nineties, and we suspect only ever listened to the privately-owned CKWS – slapped a label on CBC’s Twitter

When the news broke that the board and leadership of the Trudeau Foundation had resigned, en masse, Justin Trudeau – he whose surname is affixed to said Foundation – was all sad face. Alighting in Toronto for a meeting about something or the other, Himself sniffed: “It is a shame

Charging Donald J. Trump with crimes — as he was, Tuesday, with nearly three dozen offences — was a really, really bad idea. The case is too convoluted to understand. The two main prosecution witnesses are a convicted perjurer and weirdo porn star. The prosecutor is a card-carrying Democrat —

Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best. “When you strike at a King, you must kill him.” The parentage of the American essayist’s words have been claimed by many, but one thing can’t be denied: if you indict a former president of the United States, you’d better not lose. And this

Budgets? Who cares. These days, voters mostly don’t.  Polls consistently show distrust about everything government does and says – including budgets like the one released by the Trudeau government earlier this week. It’s the boy-cries-wolf effect on a grand, fiscal scale: citizens have been lied to so many times, they

Can he be charged with treason? It’s a question many are asking. It’s a fair question. Since Wednesday night, when Global News dropped a bomb on Canadian politics – that former Liberal MP Han Dong had allegedly lobbied China’s regime to keep two Canadians in prison there – that’s a
