Students have suffered greatly over the past two years due to COVID school closures, but apparently this is of no concern to the unions, who have managed to force Ontario schools to shutter once again. My take in @nationalpost: nationalpost.com/opinion/jes…

In @nationalpost, I argue that if Rota deserves to lose his job for accidentally honouring a man who fought for the Nazis, Trudeau definitely deserves to lose his for knowing about foreign interference in our elections and failing to stop it. nationalpost.com/opinion/if-…

So @fordnation announces fairly modest reforms that are being used elsewhere in the country and the left makes it sound as though he's setting fire to the Canada Health Act and inviting American health-care companies to set up shop in Ontario. My take: nationalpost.com/opinion/jes…

So we're all clear on how this country works: Canadians pay 50-80% tax on alcohol and at least some of that money pays to hand out free opioids, which are killing our kids. nationalpost.com/opinion/ada…

It should have been obvious that if you give away weak drugs for free, addicts will sell them to buy more potent substances. But as my colleague @adamzivo lays out in exquisite detail, this escaped Canada's drug policy thought leaders. nationalpost.com/feature/how…

Canadians have been asked to make great sacrifices for Trudeau's climate agenda while China undoes any progress we could ever hope to make by burning coal like it's going out of style. My take in @nationalpost: nationalpost.com/opinion/tru…

In @nationalpost I argue parks are little more than "vast swaths of land smack in the middle of large urban centres that could house hundreds of people, but are instead being used as a toilet by half a dozen dogs." They should be abolished or privatized. nationalpost.com/opinion/jes…

My latest: When companies can compete on the free market, they end up offering the best products & services. When, like the LCBO, the market is tightly controlled, every decision becomes political, and consumers lose out. nationalpost.com/opinion/jes…

There is a disconnect between a government that gives away opioids for free and imposes a 100% tax on e-cigarettes. The message: harm reduction is good for drug addicts but not smokers. nationalpost.com/opinion/lib…
