The Trials of Liberty: What the Truckers Taught Canada About Power and Protest
This Thanksgiving I am grateful for many things. The truckers who stood up to injustice are among them. When the first rigs rolled toward Ottawa in January 2022, the air was sharp, but not as sharp as the mood of the men and women behind the wheels. They were not radicals. Seeing a CBC disinformation…

Bill C-9 and the Tyranny of Feeling

No Permission Required: Alberta Will Protect Its Daughters
Alberta’s wish to invoke Section 33 to defend women and girls from judicial overreach is legitimate. The clause is a democratic tool, not a flaw—essential to protect provincial sovereignty and biological reality.

Albertans Must Guard What Ottawa and B.C. Abandon
In Canada, property rights rest on sand. The Charter omits them, the courts neglect them, and the political class scarcely defends them. Alberta stands out as somewhat of an exception.

Government is Addicted to Your Obedience: Why Citizens Must Reject Bans
When Susan Holt, Premier of New Brunswick, explained why New Brunswickers couldn’t go for a walk in the woods, she probably thought she was being reasonable.

Alberta Must Build a Financial Fortress Now
Ottawa’s Emergencies Act abuses and banks’ actions show dissenters can be de‑banked without charges. Alberta must fortify ATB, assert sovereignty, and guarantee financial rights to protect Albertans from federal overreach.

Campus and Government Diversity Offices Failed Jewish Communities
Recently, Canadian universities and municipal governments have become large stages for the failure of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) branches to protect the most historically persecuted of communities: the Jews. Hamas and Palestinian advocates have exposed a concerning flaw within DEI offices. When differing minority perspectives collide, DEI workers struggle to understand the conflict and remain…
