Demographics suggest that this is probably right. I worry that it could have big implications for Canadian Conservatives’s pro-Zionism. In 2025, I suspect it’s still probably a political advantage (or at least politically neutral)—even though there are more than 5 Muslims for

Ron MacLean has become an avatar of the Trudeau-era sensibility: inauthentic, performative, and mostly concerned with moral posturing. Maybe it's time for him to go. My latest for The Hub. thehub.ca/2025/07/14/sea…

I'm highly disinclined to this argument but if you were to convince me and other Canadians presumably you'd directly address the tradeoffs. There's nothing here about CCP's geopolitical and security aggression or its domestic authoritarianism or even its fundamental role in the

As a young person, I was impressed by the poetry and force of [George] Grant’s writing and vision, and also, even at the time, just the weird, wild, demented anti-logic of Grant’s thinking." — David Frum

Mamdani’s political base isn’t the working class. It’s the overeducated professional class whose political preferences include ā€œluxury beliefsā€ on crime and policing and a self interest in pulling welfarism up the income distribution. We have an ā€œelite overproductionā€ problem.
