And I’m not alone in my total indifference to the new Conservative leader. Check this out: Andrew Scheer’s honeymoon as the leader of the Conservative Party is the worst any new party leader has experienced in 14 years, as the Conservatives are only marginally more popular today than they were when Scheer

BOSTON – Is being batshit crazy an impediment to high public office? It is a question being much-debated, these days, down here in the Disunited States. As the Unpresident continues his ever-downward descent into the darkest, dankest depths – praising neo-Nazis and white supremacists, threatening to shut down the U.S.

Here: People in positions of power need to use it. We have hate laws on the books, they should use them. All of us have a role to play and what happened in Manitoba is really important — God knows what would have happened if those two bystanders had not

Here’s something you don’t see every day. Usually, such United Nations committees are preoccupied with violent hate in remote corners of the world. This is the first time in more than a decade that the United Nations has issued such a warning to the United States – and the first

My publisher Dundurn has (smartly) arranged for teachers to read the book, since it’s (partly) aimed at a YA audience. Here’s what one teacher in the U.S. had to say: I really enjoyed this book and I know I have students who would as well. I think the characterization is

On August 8, I linked to a QP Briefing story that claimed that police had launched a criminal investigation into the Ontario PC’s candidate selection in Hamilton, here.

Excellent article by my friend Stewart Bell, here. For the past dozen years, the racist far-right has been fractured, without a prominent national leader or organization. But it has survived, and now it’s angry at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, emboldened by President Donald Trump and amplified by social media. “Nowadays, they’ve
